"if you build something new, you purchase the components --" i cannot help but see Open AI's insistence that they have a right to use all "content" as connected to the online environment of the past 20 years that has made photos, video, music, and writing feel "free" and therefore valueless.

Epstein was convicted in 2008. This dump of emails shows him *over a decade later* in constant communication with damn near everyone with any degree of power. There are emails from 2019, 11 years later, over decade later.

Let's start with the obvious point. Don't use a technology whose purpose is to enable employers to get rid of workers so they can use an app to do the same job badly. Workers like . . . graphic designers for instance. Next, when using a selection of images, VARY your images. Total rookie mistake. 2/

It's not just ambition on climate action that's being run down, but nature. Planet Earth is in the fight of its life and, on balance, those of us who are its allies are losing. It's our duty to work out why, and act on it.

The story is as bad the post. The reporter, Michael Schmidt, basically places responsibility for the statutory rape and exploitation of this girl on the victim and her mother, not Gaetz. (Schmidt is also the journalist who âbrokeâ the Clinton email server story and is married to Nicolle Wallace.)
