No one says to legit business owners, "hey I see there's an underground market selling toxic knock-offs of your product: how will you incorporate the toxic product AND protect your customers against its harms?" But apparently it's fine to make this suggestion to educators with respect to AI.

If I recall correctly, Lilli was kind of naughty.
Before Barbie, there was Bild Lilli, a 1950s German doll based on a comic strip and made for adults. Her design inspired Mattel’s Barbie, showing how one idea can evolve from novelty to global icon.

Dunno who needs to hear this, but when you're in search of old records from a specific locale, you probably think: historical society. You probably don't think: public library.
And you should. In lots of places, the library has a larger, older & better local history collection.

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd
