Here's the link to a site apparently put up by the Cards Against Humanity folks detailing their side of the story: https://elonowesyou100dollars.com/

  1. Ms. Liu no longer lives with her father having moved out of her family home in September 2022 aged 16, but for the past two years she has regularly visited him at her family home a few nights per month. Ms. Liu further explained that on many of these visits since her father began using his dorzolamide eyedrops, she would lie on her father’s bed to talk and spend time with him each evening beginning around 8:00 p.m. and would stay on his bed from 30 to 90 minutes at a time, during which time she would have contact with her father’s pillows and bedding.13 When reacting to a funny or emotional story or video she shared with her father, which was not uncommon, Ms. Liu would sometimes press her face into the pillow while laughing.14 Ms. Liu explained that as a young child she grew up talking and spending time with both of her parents in their beds while they relaxed and that she had continued with that family tradition when visiting her father, and treasured it all the more since she no longer lived with him.15
  2. Ms. Liu’s father corroborated Ms. Liu’s explanation that in June 2023 he was prescribed dorzolamide eyedrops to treat his glaucoma which he administered in his bed twice daily until ceasing use in late March 2024

A little odd, but not unbelievable. There was also a point made that this medication would not help her compete in her field of artistic swimming and that the measured quantities were extremely low, consistent with it being absorbed through the skin. So on the whole it sounds like there's no real controversy here.

Yes, very weird.

Not sure if you are in the US or not but just so you are aware, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) will not issue a copyright to AI generated content. I don't know what the laws are outside the US, but other jurisdictions may be similar. The upshot of this is that while you may try to sell AI generated content, you will not be able to enforce any sort of copyright on it, at least within the US and possibly other countries. Many (those whose countries don't recognize copyrights on AI generated content) will be able to take what you post/sell and sell it or use it as their own without having to pay you anything.

Good to be reminded of this again, thanks. I just wish that it didn't feel so .... relevant.

This mention was found in the article: "The intent of this bill was to stop this predatory bait-and-switch, deceiving women and especially at-risk women"

The article, sadly, didn't go into much more detail regarding such incidents.

Perhaps I'm just being pessimistic, but I fully expect he'd permanently leave the country rather than spend a single day in jail. That said, perhaps it's not all bad. We'd at least be rid of him finally.
