Get the dual action bobbing mug.You know that changing the law has absolutely no relationship to whether or not I own the AI, correct?
Hym "You aren't ever going to 'own' my creation, right? Your action plan does nothing more manufacture a consensus that has no relationship to whether or not I have control or a claim to ownership over it. You will not be able to pretend and lie your way out of this. You will not be able to legal jiu-jitsu loophole your way out of this. No more lawsuits regarding AI until someone is sitting across a table from me. Pick a consequence at your discretion."
