"At a glance

Patient deaths increased in the emergency departments of hospitals acquired by private equity firms compared to similar hospitals, a nationwide study has found.

Researchers linked the increase in mortality to cuts in salary and staffing levels.

The findings amplify concerns about the growth of this for-profit ownership model in health care delivery."

#OpenAI has completed its #recapitalisation, solidifying its structure as a #nonprofit with a #controllingstake in its #forprofit business. The OpenAI Foundation now holds a 26% stake in the for-profit, with 47% held by current and former employees and investors. Microsoft, a major investor, supports the recapitalisation and now holds a 27% stake in the for-profit. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/28/open-ai-for-profit-microsoft.html?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Yet another #CEO saying that, because they and many of those who work for their #forprofit #company have done very well out of the existing #copyright regime, nothing should be allowed to change it, and certainly not #ai:

As a rejoinder, here are two reasons why the existing copyright regime is not fit for purpose and should be transformed. They're taken from my forthcoming book Defund Culture, which is being published by a non-profit, scholar-led, #openaccess publisher under a Collective Conditions for Re-Use (CC4r) license:

1) Copyright is a major driver of #inequality in the twenty-first century, playing a pivotal but often overlooked role with regard to understanding the roots of disparities of #wealth in modern societies (Bellos and Montagu).

2) Copyright overwhelmingly serves #corporate interests – those of tech monopolies, #music #labels, #publishers - while restricting access to knowledge, ideas and the cultural #commons

AI could never replace my authors. But, without regulation, it will ruin publishing as we know it

Basic principles need to be enshrined to protect the sacred craft of storytelling from this automated onslaught, says literary agent Jonny Geller
