Right now, federal courts are deciding what type of AI training is fair use. California’s A.B. 412 would have jumped the gun and decided that copyright owners should win. We’re glad to see it has stalled for this year.
California A.B. 412 Stalls Out—A Win for Innovation and Fair Use
A.B. 412, the flawed California bill that threatened small developers in the name of AI “transparency,” has been delayed and turned into a two-year bill. That means it won’t move forward in 2025—a sig...

A U.S. citizen who was arrested for filming an ICE raid at Home Depot is suing the federal government for $1 million— and I hope he gets every penny.

THIS‼️ When being transported, Garcia heard agents boasting about how many ‘bodies’ they had gotten that day and saw them celebrate with high fives.

Meta's promise "that it’s adding ads to WhatsApp with privacy in mind does not make me trust this new feature,” EFF’s Lena Cohen told @fastcompany.com. “Ads that are targeted based on your personal data are a privacy nightmare, no matter what app they’re on.”
Meta is bringing ads to WhatsApp. Privacy experts are sounding the alarm
The company says personal messages will remain private, but critics warn the data used for ad targeting could still put user privacy at risk.

I refuse to give the NYT my eyeballs, so I can't speak to the specifics of this article. But any historians attempting to use AI for either writing or research should be run out of the field. AI is inherently unable to do anything we need it to do to understand and communicate history.
Lots of commentary on this piece already, all of which I agree with.

For historians, research is a fundamental part of writing.

To farm it out to AI changes the nature of this intellectual process in fundamental ways.

And as Stacy Schiff points out, it also takes all the fun out of it.
A.I. Is Poised to Rewrite History. Literally.
