I get the logic, but I think it is a more complex issue than that.
How many writer's have read his works and been influenced by them? Did they buy a proper license or just buy/borrow the book from somewhere?

I was just thinking the opposite. Maybe we can get AI to give us that last book that we are otherwise may never see. Especially if it actually does end as poorly as the TV series did.
Chat GPT write me a final novel for ASOIF in the style GRRMartin but with a better ending.
Not sure. I only have a vague memory of it.
Have lots of practice do we?
How does it feel to be on the same side as most preachers and weekly church-goers?
Few things drives them more nuts than people who call themselves Christians and don't even attempt to be followers of Christ. Trying and failing is one thing, and always an embarrassment to the church, but living like the worst dregs of society, while using that name, is worse than an intentional smear campaign.
Just watched the Jon Steward Stock Market video. I actually got to watch that Robnhood mess unfold live on reddit. It was quite the shock. Before then, I was under the impression that they were just doing batch trades, not all the backroom fuckery.
Still the video was definitely worth the watch. Are you aware of any other similar schemes with such interesting explanations?
As a Texan, please feel free to ask your representatives to affirm our right of secession.
I really would prefer the US not split into chunks but Texit is surprisingly popular here.
This was indeed a fairly decent wall of text, but still well worth the read. I didn't realize these multi-layer scams went to this depth.
Also, it always seemed to me like listening to public trading advice and buying into a company at the same time as everyone else was a questionable proposition at best. Only so many would get the stock at a "good" price and everyone else was just buying in late anyways.
look into the problem with Jon Stewart and his episode on the stock market
I pulled up the video and will check it later. I look forward to hearing more about these issues.
Thanks for the trip down nostalgia lane.
It shows up more than once, but I think the first time is shortly after the girl goes to see Picard. Probably episode 2 or 3. There were workers and machines in the fields and I remember thinking, why even have the people if the machines beam the grapes right off the vines?
I think of it like a homemade carrot cake versus a store bought individually wrapped slice.
Technically that factory made carrot cake is perfect every time. It is the same recipe, color, and quality as the one next to it and the one you bought last year. That said I would nearly always prefer a homemade or bakery made carrot cake more. Nothing wrong with grabbing the "perfect" one in a pinch, but it is missing something that I can't quite describe. Maybe it is a more generic recipe, or maybe it is the preservatives, but there is a difference.
I am with the authors more like 80% here.
Authors read each others works and are influenced by them and we don't expect them to go back and buy special licenses for each work that might have influenced their current novels. Art as much as any field stands on the shoulders of mice and giants alike. Pretending that AI language models shouldn't "read" as many novels as possible to assist their own growth is a preposterous idea.
Should they have to buy a copy of the book like everyone else? Sure. Should they get bent over without lube by publishing companies? Well that is a bit more complex.
In my opinion there is no "right" answer right now. We as a society need to decide what we are okay with.
Furthermore, there are a lot of really good books out there that would be truly great "except". Except what? That depends. Maybe it has annoying side characters, or maybe it is littered with plot holes, maybe there are outdated social norms that distract from the real point of the book, or maybe the fact that not one character in the book looks or talks like you and your friends.
It would be wonderful if we could use AI to adjust or even personalize those books.
Can you imagine a Harry Potter that isn't just translated into other languages, but has each of the characters localized as well. Neither Harry Potter being British nor being male is fundamental to the story. There is no reason the French, Aria Potter couldn't save the world through the power of her mother's love, and with the help of her friends. Well except the fact that it would likely make JKR lose her mind, since she doesn't even tolerate fan fiction.
Is it possible to make these changes now, sure? It just isn't really practical for even really big name authors, much someone who only sells a few thousand copies of each book.
