This is an interesting article written from the perspective of Intelectual Property holders in the music industry who are analyzing the case between Reuters (owns Westlaw) and Ross (company who used Westlaw to train an AI).
Fair Use is very complex.

Using copyrighted content to train AI without permission is not ‘fair use’, US court rules in Thomson Reuters case - Music Business Worldwide
However, the ruling might not apply to the music industry’s lawsuits against generative AI developers.

Musk used Paypal as a launch vehicle for SpaceX and Tesla. Paypal makes $ from transaction fees.
I think Musk is looking to position himself to get contracts for becoming the govt's payment system. Taking a transaction fee off every gov transaction is huge money.

AOC has been of the most on track in messaging of our representatives. Fires need oxygen, take the oxygen away and the fire goes out on its own. No need to cancel, just ignore!!
“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.
They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.
It’s not easy and takes constant practice!
