Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · 2d agoThe president is just such a stupid asshole. I know we try to ascribe motives to this guy but he’s at the end of the day, when the story is written, just a dumdum idiot with a tiny brain that don’t work so good.

The conservative columnist George Will supports @drannieandrews.com for Senate. "This year, South Carolinians can demonstrate political independence by electing Democrat Annie Andrews. She is a 45-year-old mother of three and a pediatrician who likes children and wants to be in the U.S. Senate."

We're in a moment where the challenges we face have more to do with the ways that politicians are bought off than actually having a conversation with the broader public. If Mike Rogers had showed up, he'd say that this race is about him or me. It's not. It's about you.
