We cite the one time we heard an AI did something stupid somewhere...
...but prefer dealing with dozens of stupid drivers commuting to work everyday.
Remember, 90% of the time, an AI is flying the plane.

We talking minimum or maximum security? Am I with a cellmate? so many other factors yet I'd probably say zero as my wife be pretty upset with me when I get out.
It would have to be a Max.
$500k/yr is what they usually pay out to people who are found innocent after being in prison for years. Your wife would understand that.

I'm wondering how much an ocean-front house in Hawaii is worth.
Most of the residents will probably sell their property to Oprah and move to a lower cost of living state, like Texas.

If you had a choice of going to prison for $500k/yr, how long would you stay?

Could be, but it looks like Oher was already aware of the conservatorship as early as 2011 based on his book published that year.
He knew about it, but says that he believed it was the same as adoption.
The only thing an adoption grants an adult are heredity rights on the family's estate. Oher wants some of that $200mil Tuoy money!

Correct. He was already a star athlete before they “took him in”.
A star athlete who was flunking out of school.
Articles say OHER tested with a 80 IQ.
Forest Gump had a 75IQ.
The narrative is that he was not motivated and the tests were biased...

Certainly I don't think that. It just seemed strange to me that after all these years, a guy who has signed 4 different contracts with 3 different team, signed multiple book deals, etc would suddenly wonder where the film money went from years ago. Now the family is claiming he didn't just "find this out"...
More to come i guess...
I don't believe that Oher just found out.
I think the betrayal comes from an expectation that the Conservatorship would eventually lead to full adoption; A placeholder.
That would explain why it remained active all this time. It was a symbol of his inclusion in the family even if it was never exercised. All indications are that Oher never lost control of his personal finances.

I think I got the narrative now:
The Tuoy's were boosters for Ole Miss, so the only way for Oher to attend was for him to be under their guardianship. Since he turned 18 the equivalent would be a Conservatorship. Michael was told it was the same as adoption. (Legal guardian = adoption? maybe?)
Adoption would also work, but that can take years. That is probably what the Lawyers told everyone. The alternative was to pick another school.
According to the Tuoy's they got $14k each (including Michael) plus royalties; each pocketing $70k. Oher says they got about $2.5mil total with him getting nothing. This is the lawsuit.
The Tuoys confirmed that Oher is still under conservatorship (Why?) giving them control over Oher's finances. According to Tuoy's the trouble began in 2022, which coincidentally is when Michael got married. They volunteered to end the Conservatorship.
If the Tuoy's were in control, that probably means that Oher's $16mil NFL earnings is probably intact, and will be released to his control now. If the Conservatorship was in name only, Oher might be broke as many are surmising.

Why was a conservatorship granted?
Doesn't it require a Doctor or Psychologist along with a Judge signing off on it?
What was wrong with Oher that the Tuoys were given adult guardianship?
I did some research and the state granted Conservatorship because Oher was poor. "Impoverishment" is a qualifying disability.
This lawsuit maybe about Oher getting control of his personal finances.

Furthermore, Sean addressed Michael’s conservatorship claims. “Michael was obviously living with us for a long time, and the NCAA didn’t like that,” Sean claimed. “They said the only way Michael could go to Ole Miss was if he was actually part of the family. I sat Michael down and told him, ‘If you’re planning to go to Ole Miss — or even considering Ole Miss — we think you have to be part of the family. This would do that, legally.’ We contacted lawyers who had told us that we couldn’t adopt over the age of 18; the only thing we could do was to have a conservatorship. We were so concerned it was on the up-and-up that we made sure the biological mother came to court.”

Why would the NCAA require an adoption/conservatorship to attend Ole Miss?
Is there a rule I'm not familiar with?

Didn't she win Best Actress for that movie too? Guess she better give that Oscar back.
Fun Fact:
Bullock won best actress for "Blindside" the same year she won worst actress for "All about Steve." 2009

He was tricked into signing papers thinking they were adoption papers... that's why. He agreed to it in writing supposedly.
From what I read, He doesn't just sign random papers. There has to be a hearing of some kind where professionals are involved, a doctor and judge usually, with proof of an inability for an adult to handle their responsibilities.
Life isn't like the Little Mermaid movie.

I think the amounts of money you’re comparing is an understatement.depends on who you ask.
Oher is claiming Millions. Tuoys are claiming they split thousands.
Considering their net worth, just pay Oher and cut ties. He can buy a TEsla to live in...

Your suggesting that Oher himself couldnt have made good on his own. Hogwash, many people growing up in similar situations manage to succeed despite a troubled background. He was already an all ámerican hs player when he moved in with them but movie makes it seem like they taught him about football when that was not even close to the truth.
He would have never made eligibility.
Even if he somehow self improved from F's to A's in school, how could he afford the online classes and lawyers to fight the NCAA.

When you're getting Millions, would you notice if you're not getting hundreds?

Staying that close to the Falls...

The case will hinge on whether signing the Conservatorship took away Oher's ability to reject the making of "Blindside"

I was just behind a car that stopped at the "stop ahead" sign.
Wasn't on an intersection. Just a straight residential street.
I'm ready for self driving cars.
