Maybe we wouldn't have to imagine so much if you could figure out what "consciousness" actually is, Professor Timslayer.

Now imagine Trump trying to fix anything, even slightly.

Since I find AIs to be useful that sounds fine to me.

NYT’s counsel Ian Crosby previously told Ars that OpenAI’s decision "to enter into deals with news publishers only confirms that they know their unauthorized use of copyrighted work is far from 'fair.'"

It means they know that they'll get harassed with lawsuits and are willing to spend some money to preemptively buy off potential litigants before it gets to that point. Whether that's "fair" is not really relevant to the realities of the legal system.

I mean, Jesus was actually guilty of the crime he was charged with, wasn't he? The local Jews had laws against blasphemy and that included claiming to be the son of God. Which he did. One could argue that the law was unjust, but the trial itself came to the correct verdict.

Um, not to say that Trump is particularly Jesus-like, of course. Jesus was reasonably healthy and knew a useful trade.

Indeed. I've never been to Australia. I've never even left the continent I was born on. I am reasonably sure it exists, though, based on all the second-hand data that I've seen. I even know a fair bit about stuff you can find there, like the Crow Fishers and the Bullet Farm and the Sugartown Cabaret.

Obviously it's not gonna sway anyone who's gonna vote for him

That's not true. You're likely exposed to a very biased sample, there are a lot of people who simply don't pay close attention to politics most of the time and may just now be getting the rude awakening that Trump really is a fraud. There are people who really will hold their vote over the candidate being a literal felon, and being in prison would hammer that home even more strongly.

Come now, be realistic. OP probably means switching to cannibalism.

It's basic economics. As prices rise sales drop, you just need to adjust to find the point of maximum profit. Since market information isn't perfectly known you'll occasionally see overshoots like this.

Hah! Of course a female librarian would miscategorize a tome like that! Why was a woman placed in charge of books anyway? I suppose they need her to keep the shelves well-dusted and tidy?
