Is it just me, or is this an argument that LLM use of copyrighted data is NOT fair use because it will destroy the value of copyrighted works? Is this anti-LLM but being passed around by pro-LLM people?
Author-specific fine-tuning thus enables non-verbatim Al writing that readers prefer to expert human writing, thereby providing empirical evidence directly relevant to copyright's fourth fair-use factor, the "effect upon the potential market or value" of the source works.

SCREENSHOT FROM SUBSTACK: The Queer/Muslim horseshoe Lastly, I wanted to note that I wrote last year about a potential "horseshoe" between queer theory and certain iterations of Islamic theology...thus why I don't totally buy into the standard conservative critique of gay pro-Palestine protestors.

Nah, he did that shit, man.
stiched screenshot from knowyourmeme.com: On October 8th, 2025, X.19 user and streamer Dan Saltman (@dancantstream) posted a clip from political streamer Loner Box's stream in which he claimed to find the exact make of the collar and shares the theory that Piker removed the shock contacts or prongs, which is a feature of the collar, then covered them with black electrical tape when showing his stream. He also shows that there's a non-shocking model of the collar, but, according to him, it supposedly isn't a match. The post garnered over 17,000| likes and 1.1 million views in a day. That same day, X.20) user @mrphillipchan posted a screenshot of Piker showing off the collar in which he's upped the lighting and contrast on the image to better show what looks like tape covering the prong inserts, writing,

Good news: the sign is “not policy.”

Bad news: they fired their entire warehouse staff, which is probably worse?
[-] EmiJay-Official unverified -27 points 6 hours ago Hi everyone, Team Emi Jay here We didn't have a Reddit presence before, but we wanted to hop on and address this directly. The "policy" shown in the picture making the rounds is not real. It's not our policy, it's not legal in California, and it doesn't reflect what we stand for. What is true: today was a hard day for our team. We made the decision to move fulfillment to a third-party logistics partner so the business can keep growing. That unfortunately meant some of our warehouse team members were impacted, and we know how difficult this transition is for them. We want to be clear: the "policy" being circulated is not something we created or endorse in any way. Thanks for giving us a chance to share the facts. permalink embed report reply

What about the boats, Eliot?

Under what rubric is murdering civilians at sea a lawful order?
The American military will follow lawful orders and disobey unlawful ones. It will be grateful for weapons put in its hands, and the freedom to prepare itself for war. It will be disciplined, and it will respect the offices of the secretary of defense and the president. But the two men themselves? Not much respect is due them as human beings who have, at this moment and in these ways, shown themselves unfit to lead the greatest military on Earth. Nor will they get any.

hey man
what the fuck?
In one example, federal agents - including Border Patrol - set off an explosion, blasting their way into a California home in tactical gear alarming a woman named Jenny Ramirez, her 1-year-old, and her 6-year-old in June. Agents said they were looking for her boyfriend, whom they claimed had rammed his Jeep into federal agents a week earlier during an immigration enforcement operation. Ramirez told reporters that her boyfriend had accidentally bumped the truck in a fender-bender, after which he stopped, and federal agents told him he was free to go. Border Patrol did track him down, and the case against him was dismissed about a month after he was arrested.

Yes. Emphatically yes.

The use of “drone” for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is a Tiffany Problem.

I have a coffee table book around here somewhere from the 80s that has pictures of giant aerial drones that the USAF was using for target practice in the 70s.
