        That’s true, but they didn’t used to sell you a camera claiming it would take a picture when in fact it just invented a picture it thought looked similar to the picture you were trying to take.

          “and that’s why cutting and pasting a picture of the moon in the backend of the processing done to your shitty attempt to take a shaky picture of the moon without appreciable amounts of optical zoom to share with absolutely no one that cares is totally fine in a Samsung. You could have been doing that with scissors or MS Paint your whole life”

    At this rate with this mentality, we are going to have photo “evidence” of bigfoot and UFO’s before 2030.

      I dunno if you’re unaware but UFOs (uaps) are definitely real and there’s tons of photo and video evidence of em.

        I should have specified that I mean the x-files type of UFO’s, containing aliens.

    When corporations dabble in philosophy, you know they’re trying to muddy the waters and skirt an ethical issue. It’s not a genuine inquiry going on here; it’s a “whatever argument serves the bottom line” situation.

    I guess there’s no such thing as intellectual property either, when you really think about it. Hence nothing wrong with me making and selling pirated samsung phones.

        If you’re prominent enough and can afford to pay for the lawyers, you can assert ownership of your own likeness, yes.

        That either is necessary is a travesty, though.

      Ha ha, very clever… money is just made up. But wait, so are borders, sovereignty, language, art, moral and commercial value, the law, logic, authority, human rights, culture, and government.

      According to Jacques Lacan, experience itself is a fabrication; the worst thing that can happen to a person is to come into contact with the real.
