- Comment on Japanese Government Calls on Sora 2 Maker OpenAI to Refrain From Copyright Infringement, Says Characters From Manga and Anime Are 'Irreplaceable Treasures' That Japan Boasts to the World 4 weeks ago:
I just don’t really understand the point they’re trying to make. Japan is responding to OpenAI, which is a US company. They have the same copyright laws. None of the parties involved are arguing have any kind of edge over the other w.r.t. copyright law.

Japan’s copyright law is very similar to the US, so I’m not sure what you’re referring to.

- Comment on The time and expense of commuting is theft, if that job can be done from home. 2 months ago:
I agree up to the extent of the numbers. I think $50/hr is feasible if we make drastic changes to our economy. $150/hr simply cannot work with the country’s current number of workers and overall productivity.
