There's a better world where I just write 5,000 word features about Gwar covering Pink Pony Club, but we don't live in it. Anyway, this rules.

Sure. AI companies have ALWAYS been training their models on Wikipedia content, which under the free and open access model is available to anyone — including AI companies. Agreements like these require AI companies to limit and offset the strain they place on Wikimedia infrastructure.

Living abroad as an American right now is surreal.
I'm about to join the daily Scrum when I get a text from S—, my oldest friend. She is the only childhood friend that I still talk to. I've known her for 25 years. She is a part of me; I am a part of her.
She lives in St. Paul.

I’m at Times Square, where an emergency “No War On Venezuela” protest just took to the street. Easily a thousand people here in real-feel 20°F weather.
“No more coups, no more wars, Venezuela’s not yours!”

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words.
But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.
