Holy shit, #AI stealing in #Chile is going to be LEGAL.

Corpos will be able to scrap any public data for AI training, without retribution or compensation. Literally the paradise for stealing shit without consent.

If passed, it's going to be the ultimate "fuck you" to intellectual rights.

Severe shortages of water, power and money combined with a #US #energy #blockade have deepened poverty and increased hunger across the island as severe blackouts persist. Even those who are more affluent are now eliminating long-established and often beloved routines as they adapt to increasingly dire realities.

#Cuba’s government has said that the elimination of the U.S. energy #embargo was a top priority for its delegation, calling it an “act of economic coercion” and “unjustified punishment.”

With all respect to brother Connolly, would "us" include women? Africans, native Americans, all colonialism's victims?

What was taken from Ireland mostly was Irish working people used as slave labor in the forsaken land of the Anglo-colonies. The resource of Ireland were the healthiest and most powerful of Irish young people.

In Africa there barely was nothing left behind for them to take, and indirectly they are still taking today, the English, the French, the Dutch, ..

All those palaces and castles in Spain and Portugal, literally have bones of native Americans in them. And all of MAN-kind's creations were built by enslaving women.
