For non-Brits: nobody can afford to get sued by revved-up wingnuts and crackpots armed with JK Rowling’s money, and nobody wants to be the next organisation protested by the far right and monstered into the heart of the earth by the world’s most poisonous media outlets. So they are folding.

gosh heated rivalry is good!!!!!!!!!!
it's really fun bc I know a lot about hockey (bc of all the canada and a brother who played competitively until he was 16) and they do the hockey and the sports bits SO well?
I love the timespan they're covering for a sports romance since it allows for growth

If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, you’re not in business.
You’re in organized crime.

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.

it is devastating to be bearing witness to this as an educator. as the thread mentions, the causes are likely manifold - LLMs, post-covid brain damage, teaching to the test, transactional HS teaching, students under increased pressure, attention span degradation. but it's devastating in combination.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.
