what are you talking about that's literally already how underground trains already work

don't worry amazon are bricking the astro less than a year after its launch

you're now sitting here justifying paying artists in exposure?

to dampen Disney sales

disney doesn't avoid breaching copyright in our world because of the threat of being found out. they avoid breaching copyright because they'd be sued.

The simulation designer would not be creative enough

now you're making assumptions about how the creators of our simulation think, when we also know nothing about them

why would you assume they think in the same way we do? why would you assume what they do would even be considered "thinking" by us at all?

fall somewhere on the spectrum of having a complete inversion of the rules of their universe or having an exact copy of the rules of their universe

• you think the creator of the simulation is capable of specifying each rule of our universe, but not just inverting all of them?
• "somewhere on the spectrum" includes positions closer to a complete inversion than not, so even if you take this as given - which you probably shouldn't - you still can't make claims with any certainty

there are natural limits to what would be conceivable

firstly, i don't think that holds true under the laws of our universe

secondly, why would it hold true under the laws of theirs?

okay?

"influenced by" doesn't tell us anything about the concrete rules of the simulating universe

Or maybe whoever simulated our universe intentionally deviated from the rules of their universe for the fun of it.

likely it's being run on a jupiter brain or matrioshka brain

if you accept the premise that our universe is a simulation, why would you assume anything we know about it follows the rules of the simulating universe?

you're comparing disney re-using work in a manner that directly competes with its living author with them re-using work of somebody who's dead

disney abuses the current system by pushing for copyright extensions because disney would abuse literally any system

disney's abuse of a no-copyright system would be significantly worse than disney's abuse of this copyright system

Public domain because the authors are long-dead. You can't steal sales from a corpse.

in the real military yeah

but usually the national guard are made up of people who wanted a "military" career without the risk

fortunate sons and all that

all i need in my life is for karlach to love me as i love her and then everything will be fine

because you can afford to because you already have a way to support yourself in society

also, not all creatives are idealists, so would need some form of incentive to put in the extra effort to release their work to the public
