If the BBC is guilty of anything it has been far too ready and willing to follow the right-wing media narratives pushed by the billionaire press barons, instead of pursuing its own independent journalism based on exposing and uncovering the truth – regardless of whether people want to hear it.

While it's a broadly positive thing that the Director General and Head of News at the BBC have resigned due to perceived bias, I don't understand how this is somehow being spun as left wing bias when the bias that's actually been happening is all coming from the Right.

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.
OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.
A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.
