All quiet on the western front (movie from 2022) feels like your example a bit without the post-war consequences. Grave of the firefly (anime) is on my watch list and is very anti-war from what I understand. Catch 22 maybe. The Wars by Timothy Findley felt very anti-war but is a tough read. The cruel sea was a good read. Vinland sagas first season is very good, lots of action but some really hard hitting scenes for an anime.

Oscar-winner Matthew McConaughey has trademarked his image and voice to protect them from unauthorised use by artificial intelligence (AI) platforms.

Clips including his famous catchphrase “alright, alright, alright” from the 1993 film, Dazed and Confused, have been registered to the United States Patent and Trademark Office database, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reports.

Lawyers for the Magic Mike star told the WSJ they had no current examples of McConaughey’s likeness being manipulated by AI, but hoped the trademarks could be used broadly against any unauthorised copies of him.

A secondary aim would be to “capture some of the value that is being created with this new technology”, Kevin Yorn - one of the lawyers representing McConaughey - told the AFP news agency.“My team and I want to know that when my voice or likeness is ever used, it’s because I approved and signed off on it”, McConaughey said via email to the newspaper.

“We want to create a clear perimeter around ownership with consent and attribution the norm in an AI world”.McConaughey is not a hardline opponent of generative AI.

He has a stake in ElevenLabs, a software company specialising in AI voice modelling “for several years now”, according to the 56-year-old.

The company has created an AI audio version of the ‘Interstellar’ actor, with his permission.

I felt the headline is a bit misleading. It seems he is just using the clips as examples of his work to copyright his likeness, which is more than fair. Laws around deepfakes are seriously lacking.

I just hope the court are able to differentiate between a model being able to reproduce someone’s likeness and someone actually doing it and distributing the material. The former is impossible to stop without gutting free local models because of how image to video works.

Spit roasting is now illegal

Is it possible to add to the bounty? Is it like a GoFundMe?

Being a victim of imperialism doesn’t mean getting a free pass to be a dick. I’ll need a lot more to actually side with Iran’s government, if that’s what you mean.

Lora communication is line of sight. You would still need quite a few people working together. FSO is harder to intercept but I don’t really know how complicated it is to set up or it’s range.

I’m 100% certain this is true but it doesn’t mean the protests aren’t justified.

Iran basically spent it’s time stacking large quantities of wood while soaking it in gasoline and now they cry foul someone tossed a match in it.

The best way to avoid foreign interference at a protest level is by not treating your citizens like shit.

Why go with a bikini? Nooses are much more fashionable these days.

A big dog or a motion activated speaker that plays big dog noises.

Okay so obviously the government is in the wrong, but texting him about it does seem in bad taste. We aren’t in the 90s anymore, you should at least try to be careful. They definitely can get access to what you are texting. I have trouble trusting even a VPN, personally.

I don’t think csam filters have higher failure rates on AI images or anything of the kind. I’m guessing they are choosing not to use it on the outputs.

He was more worried about filming her then moving out of the way. What a fucking joke.

Look, if the minimum wage is half a dollar, I doubt the doctors are making 100k a year. I don’t consider us a great country, but it’s easier to immigrate here than Luxembourg which is my point. It’s not the best but it’s easily better than half the world, and the best places have stricter requirements that make it impossible for most. Mind you, even immigrating here was hard before trump, just easier than better places.

It just seems hollow to tell people to stay home and find somewhere better, when their choice are between here and Iran for example.

I also don’t think it’s fair, the current state of the world is a direct consequence of the colonial and imperialistic mindset. You still have to be realistic and honest about it.

Most do. I think maybe you should visit other countries. You are talking from a position of privilege.

I’ve been to countries where half the population was living in shacks with no running water and making 30$ a week. I can’t imagine telling those people that they have it better.

It’s true for the low-end jobs, not just top earners. There are Uber drivers that are making more then they were being a doctor in their birth country.

I misspoke when I said “most”. I’m just saying that with all its faults, there are many worst places to live in.

Certain countries are in the middle of civil wars, even genocide. Being gay is a death sentence in others while women rights in many basically don’t exist.

We also don’t have open borders, it’s not like people get a list with every country and all they have to do is pick.

It strikes me as first world problems and not understanding the actual living conditions in half the world or how immigration works to say “why would anyone come here”.

Most countries have terrible living condition and poverty wages, even for doctors and engineers. Most great places don’t let people from poor places come in easily.

We could have real regulations if most gamers weren’t busy being bootlicking fanboys. Stop defending billionaires and their money extracting machines, they actively hate you.
