These companies provided access to the required technologies free of charge, for humanitarian purposes.

They don't own it, they don't get paid for it.

"Big corps" aren't involved here. It's a philanthropy project, and from what I can find it's not legally encumbered in any way like Monsanto stuff is. This is entirely Greenpeace doing something that gets headlines, instead of something actually good. Don't forget that that organization, too, has motives, first among which is going to be survival and advancement of the organization.

If just grow carrots lol was adequate, tell me again why people are deficient in the nutrients golden rice has over baseline rice, please.

And you can prove that corruption claim? Because the red team has been busting their asses trying to find something, anything, and they have fuck-all. Waaaah he has a failson, that's your knockdown argument?

Or did you mean trump, who keeps losing court cases because he's a corrupt lying rapist with bad taste and hygiene?

Who's making excuses? I just don't care. What office is the president's failson running for again?

Usually he doesn't pause during that spiel, so I don't buy it being intentional. It's normally FEAR FEAR FEAR patter the whole time.

I really, really hate that he's still enough of a force in our politics that I feel the need to keep aware of him enough to know this.

Super weird how it's made up but I watched video of the event.

Better hope nothing gets made up at the debates, Donny.

I would love to see research data pointing either way re #1, although it would be incredibly difficult to do so ethically, verging on impossible. For #2, people have extracted originals or near-originals of inputs to the algorithms. AI generated stuff - plagiarism machine generated stuff, runs the risk of effectively revictimizing people who were already abused to get said inputs.

It's an ugly situation all around, and unfortunately I don't know that much can be done about it beyond not demonizing people who have such drives, who have not offended, so that seeking therapy for the condition doesn't screw them over. Ensuring that people are damned if they do and damned if they don't seems to pretty reliably produce worse outcomes.

You're missing 1.5: Make it impossible for people who every professional medical association of good repute says said medication help, get the medication by prescription.

The problem in his view, as best I can tell, is that there is a natural hierarchy, that he belongs on top of telling everyone else what to do, and any upset of this natural hierarchy is oppressing him. He may not have thought this out in so many words, but it's a hypothesis that seems to make accurate predictions about what people in his reference class will do and say.
