This episode was top notch, god I want the next one now!  If I knew it was going to be such  a big cliffhanger I'd have held off till we had the next episode out and watched them both.

Great episode! The part when

Lizzy is asking if he was her father , I still don't believe Red is telling the truth though.

 

 

He's not, I'm pretty sure the episode with her step-dad in the hospital put any doubt to rest.   But still, with the twists you can expect from this show it might be safe to say I'm 99% convinced at this point.  :P

 

Can't wait for the rest of the season, and great news that it's got a season 2 coming.

Well why did he hesitate to say no then? That was weird. Red's usually really upfront with the Yes or Nos.

There's really nothing I can say that is solid.  If his daughter was actually killed then he may just like her and wished he could've said yes.

 

There's not enough info for me to go on.

Well, the delay could just be him thinking about the consequences of saying yes and then lying with saying no.     We'll see how it goes down but I'm leaning towards it being true at this point.   If you think about it, it'd be best for her if she doesn't know, or that anyone knows because that just makes her a target even more.   We'll see, but I hope they don't drag it out much and give us the answer quick.   I'm now much more interested in the other guy and what deal they have going.  

I'm guessing he's CIA probably?

Great finale.. glad to hear it's only mid-season not full season.  I was expecting a "Yes" when she asked, not convinced he isn't though. Definitely wondering where they are going to go with the husband, been up and down with him (convinced he is guilty, convinced he isn't, now I am heading back to the guilty).

Maybe all that stuff Lizzy found underneath the carpet was actually her Husband's and not a plant.

I didn't think that was a plant to begin with. I know you could argue about love and all that but if he was just some guy, after almost dying I'm sure he would've called it quits and left after that. Or maybe that's just what i'd do? :p

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By ExecutiveFunction404 · Posted

      This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
