WTF, DOCTOR WHO?!?!?!

I really enjoyed the episode, but those two utter surprises were *awesome*.

That said ... wtf is wrong with BBC and all the trades?! Posting spoilers within a half hour to hour after the episode aired? I feel bad for people who weren't able to watch it right away.

This is a win for our freedom of speech and our right to travel freely.

There is a very real legal argument to make about whether training AI with established works constitutes Fair Use under the law. That’s for the courts and Congress to decide.

But Meta pirated millions of books without paying. And that, my friends, is not up for debate. That’s several million crimes

Meta stole 7 of my books and used them to train its crappy AI. I don’t want them to pay me for something I would never have sold them, for any amount of money. I want them to erase the whole thing and start again, from scratch, without using any stolen IP. That’s the remedy I seek.

I wonder how U.S. Commerce Secretary Lutnick feels about Trump putting a pause on tariffs on Canada and Mexico again?

I mean, he only spent a couple of days earlier this week touting no more pauses.

So very true. If you're going to make a stupid comment on a genre of art, at least study the genre so that you can make a *really* stupid comment about it. 😆

How are there people who can't recognize art has meaning?
