Generally speaking, it is “OK” if you happen to capture people on video while you are recording a public space.

However, the article is referring to situations where people are being video recorded, without their knowledge, as the main focus of the video.

In this case, it should be treated like any TV or movie set, where consent must be given.

I see it as video recording for commercial use, so permits should also be required by these social media degenerates, before a single frame is captured.

If you’re on the sidewalk in public, you have no expectation of privacy.

Under normal context, that’s correct.

But if you are purposely being filmed as part of a movie, project, “prank” or anything else that makes you the “talent”, it moves into a commercial licensing/permit/consent realm.

I’ve been to loads of public events where I’ve had to sign a release form acknowledging that my photo may be captured and that those images may be used in marketing/social media posts, etc. That’s because being at the event makes me the subject. While this wouldn’t be a concern if other people in the group are taking photos/video for their own personal use, the fact that those images may be used for commercial purposes changes the context.

If social media asshats want to use someone’s photos or video for their own commercial purposes, they should be following the same rules as any other professional.

For clarity, we aren’t talking about randos being filmed while on a walking tour of a city; we’re talking about specific people being targeted and recorded as the main subject without consent and with the explicit purpose to use their video for commercial content.

Nearly every country has laws protecting people from having their images used for commercial purposes without consent.

It still amazes me just how quickly these models can spit out complex answers pretty much instantly.

LOL. Yeah, sometimes, answers can be very much “I’m winging it today”, but certain prompts, especially for story ideas, can be very interesting and usable.

I’ve always said that if you know a lot about a subject, you can easily spot how AI generally tries to fake it until it makes it.

But if you have no idea about something, the answers you get are certainly better than what your buddy might tell you 😂

But to my point, it comes up with long form content so fast that you wonder how the hell it actually processed the question that quickly.

Not only social services. The Ford government also underspent during the pandemic, when doctors and nurses were begging for more resources.

Let’s not forget underspending on education, too.

You know where there’s a “spare no expense” attitude, though? When it comes to spending paying off his business partners buddies.

But it’s ok, guys. Let’s keep voting for a conservative premier, and we’ll just blame Trudeau for all the failings that come as a result. /s
