Column: OpenAI accuses China of stealing its content, the same accusation that authors have made against OpenAI
Irony of ironies: Authors and artists have accused OpenAI of stealing their content to 'train' its bots--but now OpenAI is accusing a Chinese company of stealing its content to train its bots.

How many independent media and podcast interviews did the leaders of the Democratic Party do today, since they are now starting to talk a big game about “building up progressive alternative media?” Don’t just talk about it, lead by example, and don’t just keep doing cable news.

"A notable aspect of private health insurance is the absence of any reason for it to exist. It does not contain costs, expand coverage, or expedite care – it makes those all worse. Its sole function is to profit as a rent-seeking middleman between patients and providers."

THIS is why your parents and grandparents stayed together. Relationships weren't better, society was worse. We are freer now.
..and Republicans WILL take it away, if we let them.

Heather Cox Richardson’s newsletter is my favorite source for getting news and contextualizing what it means. Today’s newsletter is an excellent explanation of the balance between the President and Congress and a warning about how Trump intends to destroy that.
