OpenAI Loses Key Discovery Battle as It Cedes Ground to Authors in AI Lawsuits
The issue has been a major battleground in discovery. OpenAI could be on the hook for hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars if it was aware it was infringing on copyrighted material.

"People — including real-life radicals — are messy. The boundaries of their politics, personal lives, and morality are porous. This is most obvious in the image of Perfidia, a tornado of energetic reappraisal and erotic possibility. A reminder that the representation conversation can be a trap."

yes i have seen ANDOR, no it does not “make it better” because any given film should be evaluated on its own as a standalone text.

Mario Kart: Double Dash contains a bizarre "eternal European pain" glitch whereby being burned when entering a pipe will cause the character to remain in pain indefinitely, but only in the European version.

You don’t have to like Nuzzi or approve of her conduct to understand that Lizza’s choice to publish the material that he is publishing is meant to sexually humiliate her in public in retaliation for disappointing him romantically. The term for that is revenge porn.

Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.
