Je viens d'assister à une scène qui remonte un peu le moral démocratique après des mois de consternation : trois politiques de gauche à droite sur un plateau télé qui s'écoutent, se parlent avec respect et saluent le travail du PM démissionnaire : le dialogue et la raison plutôt que la hargne 👍

On croit souvent que le consentement est un concept moderne. Pourtant, dès le Moyen Âge, des textes juridiques l’imposaient déjà… et les chevaliers de la Table Ronde juraient de le respecter.

Caroline aura tenté du mieux qu'elle pouvait de se reconstruire. Mais la blessure était trop profonde. Elle a choisi de se donner la mort ce lundi 1er septembre, jour de la rentrée scolaire. (1/9)

This lawsuit is brutal. One of the exhibits is the letter Universal sent to Midjourney, including a quote from a 2022 Forbes interview that I bet midjourney regrets
Universal did not permit, authorize, or license Midjourney to copy or use any of Universal's copyrighted works in connection with any version of its Image Service or to otherwise exploit Universal's works at any time. You acknowledged as much in a September 16, 2022 Forbes interview in which you confirmed that Midjourney never sought any copyright holders' consent to use or exploit their works:
Did you seek consent from living artists or work still under copyright?
No. There isn't really a way to get a hundred million images and know where they're coming from. It would be cool if images had metadata embedded in them about the copyright owner or something. But that's not a thing; there's not a registry. There's no way to find a picture on the Internet, and then automatically trace it to an owner and then have any way of doing anything to authenticate it.
