Why are we calling these guys masterminds? They’re not masterminds!

Sees a fun\interesting country boarder

Looks up reason

Finds new genocides\war crimes\colonialism was not previously aware of

Lay awake wondering how Jay Foreman is going to make jokes about this one

Impersonating exists, the difference there is if someone was impersonates you and says something defamatory, you can sue that person, what this article is suggesting is if I made an AI model of your voice I am not liable for anything I make that voice say

So you’d be ok with someone taking your fedia.io account and just posting whatever they wanted? I mean it’s just an account it’s not you is it?

I remember this being discussed at length on various forums at the time (the legality, questions about what would happen if it all fell into the sea.) but as with so much of the Internet, it appears to have been largely lost.

There are plenty of better reasons to hate The Verge; reposting Press Releases as “news”, jumping on trends of public opinion, 12 minute video summaries of 30 minute events, staff who think Debian is some sort of anti allergy medication (this has gotten better, but there is still a little too much Tim Cook semen spitting at times.), “reporters” who have the job of reposting anything from Techmeme and techurls, the stench of Vox elitism, staff posting quote tweets as news and staff posting their purchase recommendation emails from Amazon (with affiliate links added) as “deals”.
