Now, I'm not a fan of his, but at the rate that even fellow Americans are being converted in Latin-American style #LosDesaparecidos 1)... well, he has a point making a historical comparison with Nazi occupied #France 🇫🇷.

Vive la Résistance!

The Supreme Court’s 5-to-4 ruling, with Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. voting with the liberal justices in dissent, amounted to an early victory for the Trump administration before the court.

The Trump administration’s attacks on law firms are designed to not just dictate orthodoxy, but also to bend the legal system to President Trump’s will. These seemingly petty actions, from high officials, are setting us down a path where the legal institutions designed to protect everyone will no longer serve to check abuses of power.

Some guardrails do exist for very recognizable characters, but that has not prevented LLMs from returning copyrighted IP on image prompts. Or from stealing studio-specific styles, characters and designs for memes - which has led to ‘Ghiblifying’ everything. #StudioGhibli #LLM #LLMs #Image #copyright #IP #AI #ChatGPT #ImagePrompts #AIImage #AIImages #legal

Please use this site, boost, and share it. The more folks who do, the more incentive I have to improve on it!
