Federal court says copyrighted books are fair use for AI training Anthropic didn’t break the law when it trained its chatbot with copyrighted books, a judge said, but it must go to trial for allegedly using pirated books.

I once had a fight with my publisher's lawyer over what constitutes "fair use." He said reprinting 4 lines of a poem without the poet's explicit permission was too much. But AI gobbling up whole books now counts as "fair use." Something is definitely wrong with US copyright law.

Hate, lies, & divisiveness couched comfortably between scripture & Jesus Christ seem to perfectly capture the essence of the MAGA movement in this country.💔😢

But Ted Cruz and Greg Abbott said this was the civil rights issue of our time! lol

As soon as he said he didn’t have kids and then started talking about kids and books about sex all the alarm bells in my mom head went off.

I know Twitter is a cesspool, but hear me out, their burn tweets are unmatched. 🔥🔥🔥

Post from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that reads: Any unauthorized release of classified information is a violation of the law and will be treated as such.

Circling back on this…

This is happening at every level of government. It’s in the play book of the far right.

Serious question to the suburban women Trump voters what do you think of this language? What do you think of threats to invade Greenland? And I don’t want to hear from the libertarian war mongering incel Russian troll accounts. Only real people with their names on their accounts.

The censorship legislation on the horizon here in Texas is going to have wide sweeping and devastating consequences- many of which we likely don’t even realize yet.

I’m living that book. But yes of course. It’s fabulous.

If you're struggling financially due to government fuckery or for any reason really and you need infant formula talk to your pediatrician we can hook you up and don't like to ask questions.

In case you’re wondering what the mommy MAHA movement looks like in suburban Texas- here it is. There are so many things going on in this interaction, I don’t even know where to start.

We cannot thank you enough for your work! They reached out to us here in Keller and we were able to send them your articles and some of the recent stuff by Forrest Wilder @texasmonthly.bsky.social

Happy Inauguration Day from my Aldi here in Ft Worth Texas!

lol.

My sister worked in the Trump Whitehouse the first time around. (No she’s not a trumper- It’s a long story) But, he was never allowed out in the cold for longer than a few minutes. This is why the inauguration has to be indoors.

I’m struggling to wrap my head around this. It’s like in time travel movies where while you’re watching you trying to wrap your head around all the implications of time travel and you realize you’ve missed half the movie. I read it all but stopped being able to internalize it 1/2 way through. 😩🤯

Let’s talk about Meta’s new policies. I don’t want to live & think in an echo chamber. But I don’t want to live in a world where unfounded opinions & conspiracies are weighted equal to verified and/or science backed news & data. Is there a scenario where good comes from this or will meta become X?
