So Scarlett Johansson was in their ads for a while back in 2014, made a bit of a stir since she was also an Oxfam ambassador, and Oxfam are against the settlements.

When she had to choose between them, she chose Sodastream, and cut ties with the charity she had been involved with for more than 7 years.

Never really had a good opinion of her since.

    How does letting AI companies have total access to creators work without needing permission or licensing fees, help them exactly?

    The linked article is talking about protecting people making the models, not making the content (It actually specifically says that letting creators choose license their content would actually hurt them, and that AI companies should always have access)

    Disney will be able to negotiate and get a large chunck of money from the companies, any small time artist will be denied their art was used and not get anything.

    That's literally the current situation, that's why journalists and authors are trying to sue over it.

    The EFF is effectively siding with "Disney" here in this case

    There's probably flaws that would allow executing attacker supplied code, but it's not like BIOSs had any notion of security (i.e. secure boot) to begin with, so you could just straight up have the system boot into your own image anyway.

    As nice as DANE is, it just shifts the burden of trust to your DNS provider. Like if you hop on Wi-Fi at a coffee shop, said network can simply MITM connections and supply their own certs via re-writing the DNS.

    You can encrypt DNS to prevent that, but now you need a way to ensure your DNS client already trusts the desired DNS server, etc.

    As much as people dislike CAs, they're a proven solution to a problem that's already implemented in nearly every device on the planet.
