This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her.

We may cover this tomorrow, but I just wanted to signal boost this. After months of pushing the administration to make good on its promises for trans youth, NYC appears to be taking steps to do so.

NYC moves to spend nearly $9M of gender-affirming care fund for minors
The funding is part of a $15 million investment announced in June as major hospitals retreated from providing such care.

Right, so. I’m with Ketan here: the theft I refer to with AI isn’t so much training data (which sucks) but the ways that it enables an entire culture of permissible theft maintained by folks who don’t see the harm in what they do.
This is a good illustration of how so much of AI theft isn't indirect (ie, data sucked into a model to train the chatbot) - it's actually **direct** copying, but *enabled* by GenAI.
Of course it is: chatbots absolutely suck at creating good, new stuff.
