Depends on jurisdiction and what you torrented. Is the US uniformally militant on torrents?

Title is a misnomer, at no point was his life at risk because the ball never had enough energy to reach him on the swing back... Which of course was the point of the demonstration.

I don't see this as rotten behaviour at all, I see it as a Bobby tables moment teaching an organisation relying on a technology that they better have a their ducks in a row.

Players gaming a system using dumb AI bots that don't do proper thinking. What a shocking development that absolutely no one could have seen coming.

I think you hit the nail on the head where this is heading by questioning the final costs. Currently "AI" development is burning through insane piles of money and energy and no one is really paying a significant cost to use it... It's a loss leader at the moment but it's unclear if there are many uses for it if it were to be full price. Is it going to be another voice assistant situation where people like usi g it but it's actually really hard to make any money off it directly?

Triple A games are often over funded and under deliver in experience in my recent experience. A little less funding might tighten up some of waste and deliver better games.

And they invested knowing that piracy was a thing and figured that into their calculations regard to the risk vs potential return. If they didn't get that right and end up with a loss, well, that's capitalism for you.

Copyright is the antithesis of free market by allowing a monopoly on distribution and exploitation of some resource.

Some parts of the gaming industry did, the vast majority still won't provide content drm free.

If they could figure a way to make you pay without providing any service at all they absolutely would.

Frankly I'm horrified that it would go that way and wasn't aware there were cases like this with sound alike voice actors unless the voice was misleading stated to be of someone it wasn't.

Do they pay people for use of their voice when they get a cheaper voice actor in who sounds just like them?

Remember how a few years ago 3d displays and VR were being shoved in everyone's faces? I can see the current "AI" trend going the same way.

There is more than one type of water, but unless your IoT device is a fusion reactor it's probably just running off the normal blend.

Your average computer user is mainly using it for interacting with various web based services and playing media. Don't need good input methods for that so tablets are a cheaper and easier to maintain alternative to a laptop.

Even if they would otherwise have subscribed, that money will be spent elsewhere in the economy, its potential revenue the streaming companies couldn't secure, it's not a loss to the economy unless it's a foreign user.

Can't see how it can, it's not like if that money isn't spent on entertainment then it's just lost, it's just spent on other goods and services or put in savings that the banks loan out to other people to generate economic activity. Unless people are literally burning the money or exclusively spending it on foreign goods and services it's not costing the economy per se.

Tragedy of the commons? Everyone wants to use it, no one wants to put forward the resources to maintain it.

Copyright infringement for me but not for thee.

Won't someone think of the billion dollar businesses?
