Nonsense. It's not possible to steal AI technology. I know this because Google's own LLMs are built using a complete copy of my legal blog, and that's somehow not stealing because, as Google says, a complete copy of my legal blog is both trivial and utterly essential for their tech to work.

Respect for Kelsey for taking a firm stand.
Another developer happily took part in this same crypto project: collected these “fees.”
Now their name is dragged across social media after “their” coin (one named after them) collapsed overnight and made lots of people lost lots of money and are angry

I'm not in the US, but this internet between @briantylercohen.bsky.social and Abdul El-Sayed made me try to donate to a USA political campaign for the first time. (Turns out I'm not allowed to.)
I'm excited about what the USA could become, because the alternative is scary.

Disturbingly, the Trump administration can't or won't say whether that’s still the case.
Of these articles, "'A Perfect Storm': Autistic Experiences of Menopause and Midlife was published 2024.

Government: we’ll give ICE billions.
People: here’s some whistles.
By the way, you can email nature@nature.com to let them know what you think of this. It's article 40850 (2025).
I called it a "miscarriage of peer review" and I stand by my words.

I have many words, and none are polite.
In addition we know the chance of having a child with ASD increases with advanced maternal age (pregnancy at and after 35 years old), gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia.
A lot of folk are waiting to have kids, which is fine, but there is a higher chance of autism.
It's already a mess to clean up, it won't be easy. Hopefully it will be possible.

Thank goodness for those who are resisting. The federal court judges. The non-MAGA members of the justice department, and other federal departments. Those organising and attending protests. Those who work to get 5 usually non voters to the polls in each of 2026, 2027, 2028.
