Copyright law often sucks. But generative "AI" ALWAYS sucks. I hope this sets precedent and pops this LLM bubble so we can stop with the whole nonsense trend.
A federal judge has denied OpenAI's request to dismiss a copyright suit from George R. R. Martin, Ta-Nehisi Coates, John Grisham and other authors.
The judge says that text generated by ChatGPT may infringe their copyrights.

Alright, here's what Saige did to me.
If you're a PoC you are not safe around her.
The last THREE YEARS have been heartbreaking and soul-crushing, and I'm SO glad to finally be able to speak out publicly.
I'm still at SDCC, so I may add more later: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/rcfsd...

Pregnancy is considered a disability.
Adriana Smith was a black, disabled woman in need of medical care.
The hospital dismissed her & she died.
Because she was 9 weeks pregnant, they’re keeping her body alive against the family’s wishes.

Clean the air, clean the air, clean the air.
We know how to do it. We know it would drastically reduce COVID and other airborne disease spread.
It would also help with asthma, allergies, wildfire & more.
It’s all upside, and it’s high time we demand it from our governments & leaders.

If the person in charge of health and human services stands up and calls diabetes an “exotic disease” and says he has never heard of lupus or crohn’s… he should immediately be fired for gross incompetence.
This is eugenics. He’s going after disabled people so they don’t have to pay to treat them.

Microsoft owns Bethesda, and thus is a priority BDS target. By buying (and promoting) it, those people are saying their entertainment is more important 😑

If you stopped masking, you made this easier. We need visibility. We need to normalize masks.

As a Native, to explain the “joke,” this is based off the derogative expression “indian giver,” someone who gives a gift just to take it back. It’s based on colonizers misunderstanding attempts to trade, thinking the natives were giving them gifts, and being insulted they expected something back.
