So for-profit AI companies have trained on the world's largest collaborative volunteer project and a precious free resource, to make money for their for-profit enterprises. They have crushed traffic to the volunteer project, starving it of donors and volunteers

✨Tracy Letts's Closet Picks!✨ The playwright and actor praises DO THE RIGHT THING as the best film of the eighties, talks about the comfort of watching his favorite westerns, and selects Chicago cinema classics like HOOP DREAMS and LOVE JONES. ✨ You can see Tracy next in Kathryn Bigelow's HOUSE OF DYNAMITE on @netflix and FX's THE LOWDOWN.
