Can this be used to reassess the Anthropic decision (judge decision of fair use) IANAL so no idea.
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

Honestly, I think it’s the point about them being enormous dorks that bothers them the most.
I think it’s pretty fun to watch the rationalist millenarian AI sex cult sputter and squawk like a flock of turkeys suddenly confronted with a mirror over “the public found out about you and they think you’re evil, but also enormous dorks.”

If you throw around the words "Epstein class:" some folks hear "sociopathic billionaires and their sycophants," but other folks hear "Jews."

One of the goals of the #60secondsOfWIP podcast was to learn to read my own work.
The other goal was to innoculate myself against the sound of my own voice.
The former has been far more successful than the latter.

Men in politics, I'll tell you a secret about what really attracts women voters. What makes them think you're really manly. It ain't sports. It ain't lifting. It ain't guns.
You wanna know? It's a tightly held secret. But I'll tell you.

The problem is that "while you weren't looking the tech industry was comprehensively taken over by a cult based around a piece of Harry Potter fanfic" is self-evidently an absolutely ridiculous claim that can't possibly have happened, which is a real problem given that it 100% did happen.
The U.S. AI industry is being run by a batshit rationalist sex cult, and no, I am not being hyperbolic - they’re genuinely Like That:
