Oh good, it will be in the public domain.

OpenAI, which is also fighting a string of copyright lawsuits, donated $50 million this year to a group of research institutions including Oxford University’s 400-year-old Bodleian Library, which is digitizing rare texts and using AI to help transcribe them.

When the company first reached out to the Boston Public Library, one of the biggest in the U.S., the library made clear that any information it digitized would be for everyone, said Jessica Chapel, its chief of digital and online services.

“OpenAI had this interest in massive amounts of training data. We have an interest in massive amounts of digital objects. So this is kind of just a case that things are aligning,” Chapel said.

it’s not like Iran isn’t known for authoritarianism and human rights abuses.

Iran certainly has its problems, but they don’t hold a candle to Israel’s (or the US’s) human rights abuses.

Meanwhile Iran has as much right to develop nukes as any country: precisely zero.

Okay? Iran isn’t even developing any, while Israel has had hundreds for decades, which they developed in secret as a rogue state.

they are responsible for the death of millions of innocent lives.

Take your bullshit to Reddit.

Incidentally, in 1981, Egyptian president Anwar Sadat was assassinated by his military parade, on live TV worldwide.

I have no idea what organizations were involved with this. But yes, it’s basically Hamilton the Musical Protest. Big American patriotism/exceptionalism vibe. In my area, anyway, it also has anti-fascist, pro-immigrant, and, to a much lesser extent, a pro-Palestinian components. I don’t think there’s any direct anti-capitalism/pro-socialism to be seen, nor any direct anti-imperialism. On the contrary, I saw a few Ukrainian flags, and I even saw one Taiwan flag.

All three branches of government are corrupt. Since we know the Supreme Court is corrupt, I think it’s reasonable for us to assume that the lower courts are, too.

I didn’t know he went to Nicaragua. The less I know about that culty grifter, the better.

You mean Ben on a bus in Managua? Yeah Max is a creepy dude. His COVID-19 coverage was the last straw for me.

I’ve always considered Max to be the weak link, but unfortunately he’s also the founder and editor-in-chief.

While there’s infinite money, there’s very limited industrial capacity, because the US de-industrialized itself. The US and Europe combined already can’t keep Ukraine supplied.

Unless there’s a humidity setting, I would assume so.

Reporter: [REDACTED]
Reason: hate speech

Sorry, but this is hate speech against a protected class: European settler-colonists.

I don’t usually say “US citizens” because I don’t usually mean only residents with citizenship.

The US is almost certainly playing a major supporting role.

‘preemptive strikes’

Make, announce, type. Just put 'em through a spell check and go home. Get to know your family again. Make love to your wife. Write that novel you got kicking around in your head. You know, the one about the intrepid Washington reporter with the courage to stand up to the administration. You know – fiction.
