I doubt they are using Johansson’s voice. I expect they need much more studio-quality training data than they would have for her.

The desire to create a “Her” might be real but explains why they chose a similar voice actress, made Sky the default, and continued to pursue Johansson to some day create the real thing.

Suspending the Sky voice looks guilty but it might be a temporary action while the legal team considers their response. There might be a non-zero risk of being found liable if there were directions in the voice casting process to seek a result comparable to Scarlet Johansson. You’d want to collect and assess correspondence to see if that’s a possibility, which might take a while.

I’ve used it, but only when I’m on some really sketchy unencrypted WiFi network, like in an airport or a hotel.

It doesn’t offer location spoofing like all other VPNs on the market, which I would have more use for.

Unless that person happens to be with their dad, that would then require finding their dad. That’s a whole extra person to find. It might be easier to skip straight to finding their dad.

Rust has a lot going for it beyond just the safety thing: excellent package manager, powerful trait system and generics, helpful compiler errors.

The whole language is designed to help you avoid making the programming mistakes people tend to make, not just the borrow checker and memory safety.

Maybe I’d take the first year in prison for a half a million* but ask me again 1 year later, do you want to do a second year? No, I want 600k. Next year, 700k. 44 years? Honey, you can’t afford it.

* I wouldn’t, my number is higher than that.

No, those are both trademarks, you’re associating 𝕏 with your tech business (to the extent that Elon Tracker is a tech business).

But if you start a plumbing business you can call it 𝕏, because trademarks are industry-specific.

You might be able to get away with starting a business called XYZ and putting 𝕏 symbols all over your website as long as it obviously isn’t your logo.

Or you can publish images of people doing unspeakable things with the 𝕏 logo. As long as you are not claiming to be 𝕏, you can use the 𝕏 glyph however you like.

This is not true of the bird logo. You aren’t by default allowed to reproduce it, so the company can allow you to, with extra conditions of their choosing. They can make you take down images of people doing unspeakable things with the bird logo, on the basis that it contravenes their terms and therefore is not covered by the license.

𝕏 is actually a Unicode symbol, so musk can’t trademark it

That’s not true, it absolutely can be a trademark. You might be thinking of copyright - he can’t copyright the current 𝕏 logo.

The rights you’d get from each protection are different and a sensible business probably would want both. Trademark protection would prevent another tech company trading as 𝕏; copyright protection for the logo would let you set terms on how it is used.
