>> The emerging consensus across different jurisdictions is that purely AI‑generated content with minimal to no human creativity does not qualify for copyright protection. By contrast, works created with the use of AI‑applications may still enjoy copyright protection, where substantial human creativity has been exercised. Whether this threshold is met must be assessed on a case‑by‑case basis.

This makes sense, I believe it will eventually become the clear case in the US as well. However, it does leave open the case where a human carefully crafts a series of prompts to produce an creative work that qualifies for copyright.

Further, this does not appear to be binding on courts within the EU?

Generally, courts have levied fines for copyright infringement rather than forcing ooen sourcing of code. The times when code has been open sourced are usually settlements to avoid a fine.

They can buy and sell the stock. If they weren't okay with it, they could not buy, or sell if they already own.

I am using a Pixel 7 now, bought specifically to ensure I can run Graphene, but there is a high likelihood I will be getting a Moto phone for my next one!

State broadcaster are usually funded from state funds (taxes) not voluntary memberships. Furthermore, taxpayers don't usually get to vote directly on what content should be produced. With cooperatives, there could be multiple coops that focus on different groups. They could even join together on productions across coops. Sounds like a good plan to me.

Personally, I would like to see more competition in some of those spaces. But if the government is going to enforce any sort of competitive restrictions, it should go all the way and own it. For electricity, they could own the transmission lines and allow competitors to generate and sell electricity. The government could then charge a fixed monthly fee per connection (based on capacity, so industrial users would pay a lot more than homeowners for their connections).

Switch to GrapheneOS, or Lineage.

Yeah because those indie developers test on such a wide variety of hardware...

> It's definitely against the license terms you get when you purchase a game through steam to run it on arbitrary hardware

Is it??? I don't see anything in the Steam agreement about what hardware I am using?

Looking at outputs alone can't tell you how good the system is, you also have to consider the inputs.

When was this removed? Are there still limits on residencies?

In the USA, I think most of the times it is a specially trained triage nurse (Usually an RN with additional special training), not an doctor, and not a random volunteer or medical student.

If they didn't limit the number of doctors that can be trained, there wouldn't be as much of a finite supply of resources. Furthermore, how does one decide "quality of life"? What the politicians and bureaucrats think is "quality of life" rarely matches what the patient thinks. Often, it the politician and bureaucrats prioritize what benefits them the most.

As far as wait times in the USA, yes, we have bureaucrats and politicians artificially limiting supply. But, it is only as bad as you say in select areas of the country, and in most cases urgent matters ate attended to faster.
