As we are now T minus 3.5 days from Thanksgiving, if you need to deploy Operation Avoid The Boundary Tramplers, tonight is when you post where they snoop about a headache or a queasy kid, or a funny noise from your car, or your pet acting strange, or a serious work issue or an unexpected paper.

This framing makes me so angry. I'm upset the Dem caucus caved, but if we went through this in an earnest attempt to keep healthcare less ruinously expensive, I can at least be glad they tried.
If they never thought it could work, and the pain and uncertainty was *messaging*? That's just monstrous.

As a non-lawyer, I am really curious how, if at all, it affects Fair Use analysis when OpenAI giving an opt-out for copyright holders.
I imagine it certainly could affect willfullness analysis, although I guess they'll say the opt out shows it isn't reckless disregard?

OpenAI claims companies must opt-out of having their copyrighted characters & content appear in Sora
Legal experts say studios have grounds to sue:
“They’re setting up this false bargain where they can do this unless you opt out. And if you don’t, it’s your fault. That’s not the way the law works"

The most frustrating thing to me honestly isn't even the "hope GOP comes to their senses" bit. It's the uselessness of what he wants them to do!
