I won’t stand for this “Ode to Spot” slander. It’s Data’s underrated masterpiece!
The headline does not do the story justice - makes it sound like the judge didn’t respect Data’s hypothetical rights, when she in fact acknowledged them.
I overall agree with the ruling.
But Thaler is not planning to back down from the fight, arguing that his Creativity Machine is “sentient.”
Pretty much sums up everything you need to know about how much attention this deserves.
Wouldn’t surprise me if he’s trying to bait the court into a “Measure of a Man” debate since all these people do is try to bait others into pointless exhausting performative “debates”.
Take the bait and rule that anything smart enough to do work has a right to it, then arrest this guy for false imprisonment and forced labor 'til he sets his “Sentient” AI free.
