But if the court finds OpenAI knowingly trained on pirated books and deleted the evidence to to avoid scrutiny, that could mean actual consequences to the tune of billions of dollars.

Last month, @theguardian.com framed this historical event project the same way; minimizing the years of archival work, the interviews etc it took to be able to do this.
Instead ‘AI solved this historical problem!’

I’m not trying to be snarky or a doomer but…why would they? Going to school no longer guarantees them a better life, or even a regular life. War crimes are being committed right in front of them, the planet is dying while we invest in oil, and there are like 3 separate disabling plagues
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

To heal our divided nation I propose splitting Game of the Year awards into two categories:

- Game of the Year That’s Some Gay Bullshit Indie Meditation on Grief or Whatever

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

Reform's policy is mass deportations - but they're moaning about a larger number of people leaving the country? Are they sad that they won't get to lock them up and thump them first? It's much cheaper if they leave voluntarily!
