This ⬇️ position is incorrect in law. You can talk about whether or how you’d like to change copyright law, but “training for AI” is not fair use under current law, it’s the unauthorized use of someone else’s property for your own purposes, i.e. theft. This ⬇️ “If training makes fair use of copyrighted works, however, then no permission is needed.” happens to ignore the corollary: “If using someone else’s property as raw materials without permission required, then copyright ceases to exist.” 1/2
#Germany designates AfD as an extremist party that goes against Germany’s “free democratic order.” “Vice President J.D. Vance and billionaire White House advisor Elon Musk supported the AfD and backed it in a recent election.

Canada is a sitting duck with a treasure of natural resources between Putin and Putin’s stooge. The US already sided with Russia trying to gain access to our northern corridor, and Russian propagandists in the US already started with cries that the US needs to “denazify Canada”, and calling PM Trudeau a Nazi, fed by far right proponents and paid Russian shills in Canada too. Trump deciding to ignore borders is not a theoretical risk but a real one.

“That’s driven by the strength of independent women, who back Harris by a 28-point margin, while independent men support Trump, but by a smaller margin. Similarly, senior voters who are 65 and older favor Harris. But senior women support her by a more than 2-to-1 margin, 63% to 28%, while senior men favor her by just 2 percentage points, 47% to 45%.” “Male Pollsters Shocked Shocked When A Woman Pollster Discovers Women Voters” All. Of. This. #Women #Vote #Harris
Lawsuits should bankrupt the state and it still won’t be enough. Abortion is healthcare. The state of Texas is committing homicide. They’re the ones killing babies after they are born, they’re just waiting for those babies to be pregnant first. #GOPWarOnWomen #AbortionIsHealthcare #Abortion #Women #Vote https://digbysblog.net/2024/11/02/the-ayes-of-texas-are-upon-you/ image
“she screened positive for sepsis, a life-threatening and fast-moving reaction to an infection, medical records show. But doctors said her six-month fetus had a heartbeat and that Crain was fine to leave… on Crain’s third hospital visit, an obstetrician insisted on two ultrasounds to “confirm fetal demise,” … before moving her to intensive care.” Supporters of #abortion bans don’t count the life of the mother when they claim to be “pro-life” . #AbortionIsHealthcare
