Great turnout & inspiring speeches at #NoKings in Providence today - combined with Women’s Week/Dyke March. A good reminder of all that’s best about this country. I especially loved the lobstahs 🥰💪🦞

So it looks like Meta has essentially stolen 58 of my late dad's works from LibGen to train its LLM. I guess the glass half full take on that is at least it will include some high-quality content 😜 😬😡
