    Lol what a bunch of cope. One guy made a youtube video and that’s the only reason why world governments aren’t changing laws? The video has less views than his Inscryption playthrough. Is he the sole reason for Inscryption’s success too? Is Thor actually a god who can make things happen just by leveraging the power of his 2 million subscribers!?

    This failed because the average person does not care about “saving video games”. Nintendo announced they can revoke your access to play games you paid $80 for on the Switch 2 and it’s setting sales records.








  • These are all great questions for a lawyer and the answer is probably “it depends”. My understanding is that, if something has multiple licences, you need to follow all of them simultaneously. You can’t choose unless it’s clear that the author allows the choice by using “or” when listing the licences.

    The best thing to do when something isn’t clearly licenced is to reach out to the author and ask them to clarify it. If they don’t write back then you shouldn’t do anything with the source material.






  • I think it’s a topic that just doesn’t interests most people, especially children. Where I live, solving problems like 10 - x = 4, solve for x is taught to 10 year olds in grade 5. How many 10 year olds would think this is interesting?

    In comparison, grade 5 science teaches cells are the building block of life, energy can exist in forms like electrical and light and can transform between them, and matter has states like solid, liquid, and gas. It’s stuff that ends up being naturally more interesting.



  • It could hallucinate a citation that never even existed as a fictional case

    That’s what happened in this case reviewed by Legal Eagle.

    The lawyer provided a brief that cited cases that the judge could not find. The judge requested paper copies of the cases and that’s when the lawyer handed over some dubious documents. The judge then called the lawyer into the court to ask why he submitted fraudulent cases and why he shouldn’t have his law licence revoked. The lawyer fessed up that he asked ChatGPT to write the brief and didn’t check the citations. When the judge asked for the cases, the lawyer went back to ask ChatGPT for them, and it generated the cases…but they were clearly not real. So much so that the defendants names would change throughout the case, the judges who ruled on the cases were from different districts, and they were all about a page long when real case rulings tend to be dozens of pages.



  • Depends on the type of contempt charge. Legal Eagle compares the types in a video on this case.

    tl;dw

    • Civil Contempt (coercive) - incremental fines or jail time until the charged follows an order.
    • Civil Contempt (compensatory) - a fine paid to someone who was wronged by ignoring a court order
    • Criminal Contempt (direct) - jail time meant as punishment for directly disobeying a judge while court is in session
    • Criminal Contempt (indirect) - jail time meant as punishment for disobeying a judge while court isn’t in session.

    Criminal contempt can be pardoned and Trump has pardoned it before. Civil contempt cannot be pardoned but it only lasts until an order is followed.

    Enforcing a contempt ruling is the next issue. Normally a US marshal would enforce it but they technically answer to the Attorney General, who answers to Trump, who could order them not to listen to the judge or be fired. A court could theoretically deputize someone to enforce the order directly, but that has never happened and people could just not recognize the authority of the deputized officer.
