The United Kingdom is not an adversary of the United States. In fact it's one of our closest allies. But, if anything, that suggests this law isn't enough, not that it's too much.

It's not ok.

But the fact is that China, North Korea, Iran, and Russia are adversaries of the United States, and the US government is justified in its concern.

If social media apps exist to slurp up as much user info as possible, and they do, then it makes sense to be concerned about the government that they're subject to.

A veto means the resolution does not pass in the first place.

This is a textbook example of the "establishment of religion" prohibited by the First Amendment.

US, China, Russia, France, and the UK have veto power over Security Council resolutions because they are the ones who are called upon to actually enforce Security Council resolutions.

Although Shupe’s limited copyright registration is notable, she originally asked the USCO to open a more significant path to copyright recognition for AI-generated material. “I seek to copyright the AI-assisted and AI-generated material under an ADA exemption for my many disabilities,” she wrote in her original copyright application.

Shupe believes fervently that she was only able to complete her book with the assistance of generative AI tools. She says she has been assessed as 100 percent disabled by the Department of Veterans Affairs and struggles to write due to cognitive impairment related to conditions including bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and a brain stem malformation.

I'm sympathetic, but writing a book is not something most people do regardless of their disabilities. Writing is a talent, and most people don't have it. So it makes no sense to invoke the ADA here.
