					<description><![CDATA[Not about funding --but it is about control.

Hollywood&#039;s SAG hates &quot;AI slop&quot; because they can&#039;t control it:
https://www.msn.com/en-au/money/topstories/guillermo-del-toro-slams-generative-ai-calls-dismissing-art-prelude-to-fascism/ar-AA1TBWqy

This is why I am radical enough to suggest that copyrights trademarks and patents be ended--no law in the arena.

When works become public access, all that comes of that are horror films with weak returns.

It isn&#039;t just governments....BMW&#039;s bolts for example.

I am a right-to-repair Uber consumer advocate.
All computers should have this standard:

					<description><![CDATA[Jeff Wright

Please 
Logic has nothing to do with this theory.

Its all about reaching for control of things rich people or bad governments might do.

It has nothing to do with all the other rockets that have landed on the moon, or the fact that if the Earth can be contaminated by Mars meteors then the Moon would have even a better chance. Or that billions of years of trace gas from the Earth might have contaminated it.]]></description>
