Imagine a babyfood company partnering with a sewer to create new content

How is this even feasible. Just billions of dollars into the lying machine that lies
Disney is investing one billion into OpenAI-- this is exactly why that lobbying effort against AI with these companies (including Adobe, et al) using the copyright angle was never going to work. The technology itself is completely unethical, and these conglomerates are going to use it regardless.

The incredible grassroots anti-ICE organizing in LA, Chicago, NC, and now New Orleans is probably the most hopeful political thing I’ve seen all year.

Cool think about an LLM (derogatory) is u ask it the same question 5 times and can get 6 very different answers
Furthermore, as a non-kid-haver, even I know that there is no one way to raise a kid! I had one nephew you could plunk in a bouncy seat and he would entertain himself. I had another who really benefited from hands-on time. (THEY WERE AND ARE EQUALLY WONDERFUL.) Looking for The Answer is pointless.

The people of New Orleans have created an incredible grassroots community intelligence service to track the feds as they hunt the city's immigrants. A real good cops vs. bad cops dynamic being replicated across the country right now.

Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.

Vargrancy laws are why my Grandfather admonished me to never walk down the street without ID and why I was told I’d be picked up and taken to jail if I tried to walk down the block in Crockett, TX.

A little of my local (MS) history. Unbelievable cruelty and generations later still no recompense.
This Day in Labor History: November 25, 1865. Mississippi created the first of the Black Codes. Designed to recreate slavery in all but name, this signified the South’s resistance to the freeing of their labor force and the lengths to which it would go to tie workers to a place under white control.
