Not only that but Lovecraft died dirt poor, and Rowling has more money than god and could set up mechanisms to have said money influence real world politics from now until forever. 

Lovecraft has been dead for 80 years, the problem with endlessly milking the Potter franchise is that it gives money to a hatemonger who openly and actively funnels it into harming a minority group.

This! It’s the normal outcome of automation. The problem isn’t AI, the problem is that we don’t have UBI.

From a legal standpoint one is always presumed innocent.  I am loathe to engage in judging people in the court of public opinion.  I used to be a practicing litigator.  Prosecutors and Plaintiff’s counsels, heck defense counsels too, have a away of making claims against or for their clients/defendents look better or…
