Plus, they would have stolen the whole Louvre.

I was more of a PBS game show gal. I think every single episode is on YouTube.

but also, like, the “knowledge” generated by AI isn’t “free,” though? You might not pay with money right away, but it’s definitely not free

THIS is the high quality content I signed up for on Bluesky dot or

Come to think of it, it’s not made clear if Collins has tenure 😆
