Today UK authors are protesting against Meta for stealing our work to train their AI model. Authors earn an average of £7000 per year, we are not rich, and yet a trillion dollar company decided it didn’t want to license our work fairly as it was “too expensive”

a little black scottie dog pup climbs toward the camera from atop an orange velour chair. natural light beams in from the right, highlighting his dark fur to almost look like shades of blue. he has a tiny gold medallion on his collar that is stamped with his name: Roo.

Here we have just a little guy, toasty and content as he reflects on his day. 13/10 would try my best not to disturb him
