I never said that you said that farmers were stupid, you just showed you don’t know how to read,

I also don’t think that farmers are going to fix their own tractors, you wouldn’t think that unless your clueless.

Right to repair would allow for 3rd parties to repair the tractors and be competitive about it, you need multiple people repair shops for a free market.

You need to chill out, or grow a brain, either is fine.

I don't care? He saw better opportunities ahead of him. He got accepted into a PhD program at Harvard which is more than enough testament to his intelligence. And even if he wasn't intelligent in the field of science. His opportunistic intelligence to jump on the successful business ahead of time is more than enough to have take on the future of AI.

You can call someone evil and hate them but still admit that they are smart. It's not hard. Some nazis were so smart that the US created an entire mission to recruit them.

Or just get over it. People have been photoshopping celebrity porn for over 20 years, and that's been fine. Have their lives been damaged in any measurable way? Absolutely not. The slippery slope we'd have to climb on to create legislation around. This is not one I ever want them to go down. Is your life really affected in any substantial way if someone made a digital representation of you that was getting Eiffel towered? Nope. Everyone knows it fake. For that matter, you're not going to be the target of this unless you're a celebrity or a politician. (Basically some kind of public figure) If they start making Barack Obama porn, a lot of women will probably be happy about that.

Your post didn't touch on the case (or I didn't understand fully) where the person/party recording will use that recording for profit. I think of like "candid camera" type shows.

Even though they don't need permission to film the random public, do they need permission if they're then going to profit off the footage? Is this why everyone around the "mark" they're messing with has their face blurred, or is that just a CYA thing?

This would be different than just filming someone for a project or whatever that won't be used in a commercial setting.
