Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

Anyone else checked how Meta rips off their work at www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...
99 of my papers/(co-edited)books/works are on the list + 5 on variations of my name that I have used a long while ago. Time for (collective) action?

Use that €300bn of Russian assets to help Ukraine

Let’s be clear: a free and sovereign Ukraine is not only in the European interest.

It’s also in the interest of the entire world.

An investment in Ukraine’s sovereignty is an investment in the prevention of future wars.

This is what ardent NYT _conservative_ Bret Stephens is saying.

Anyone with any sense knows that today was an absolute disaster and disgrace for the United States.

Trump said he was glad the world saw this, his interaction with Zelensky.

That is true. It is good that the world saw how Trump and Vance bullied the leader of a country that was attacked and that the US now openly sides with Russia.

That is indeed important for the world to see.

Personal liberties - "I want to do whatever I want, even if it hurts others, without consequences."

Free markets - "I want to be able to do all kinds of financial schemes and tax evasions. I want no oversight over my white collar crimes and anti-consumer tactics."

Five Failures in the Oval Office (video) America hurt itself badly today.

Here I react to the shameful behavior of American leaders and media toward the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

Credit to Starmer. This is good.

Starmer and Zelenskyy shaking hands outside No 10

That's more like it www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Gooi grenzen open voor wetenschappers en kunstenaars uit VS. Vertroetel ze. Zorg dat VK weer bij Europa komt, en bouw dan maar dat arsenaal afschrikwekkende wapens op. En dat Europese leger om onze democratie te verdedigen. Incl Oekraine in en Groenland. Daar zitten alle nodige grondstoffen

Putin's terms for peace are almost certain to include Zelenzkys death - everyone else who has crossed him is dead - and Trump won't lift a finger. Which EU state is making plans to offer him safety?

Re Zelensky at the WH, yet again, feminists and trauma/abuse- informed thinkers are years ahead of political analysts.

There is no acceptable affect, no way to charm an abuser, and no “deal” other than playing very very dead that would change how Trump and his flying monkey Vance behaved.

John Bolton on BBC just now: "I think we are in danger not just of losing the NATO alliance [...] but practically every alliance around the world as our friends and allies look at this performance and wonder if there's anybody in this administration who understands what's at stake here."

This was the worst moment of US diplomacy I can ever recall seeing.

Alle media die dit beschrijven als ‘ruzie’, ‘a shouting match’ enz. geven Zelensky verantwoordelijkheid voor de onvoorstelbaar beschamende behandeling die hem ten deel viel. Hier zat een eervol mens tegenover de ergste bullies van het schoolplein. Verschrikkelijk.

Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.

We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.

Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

x gone (a long time ago),Wapo, gone, OpenAI, gone, ElevenLabs, ditto, so too for Suno. Today it was Amazon’s turn. See the pattern?

Zelensky showed that we should not bow to bullies. Respect
