geez. Senators want to lock up the law (again).
@carlmalamud spent years making sure the law (and standards included in the law) were publicly accessible for free. Even getting the Supreme Court to declare it so.
yeah, but...

Just so you know. Sam Altman's sister amended her civil lawsuit accusing the OpenAI chief executive of sexually abusing her āmore than two decades ago https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/judge-now-dismisses-lawsuit-by-sam-altmans-sister-accusing-openai-ceo-sexual-2026-03-20/ So yeah you can't trust this guy with anything.

LinkedIn Is Illegally Searching Your Computer. Microsoft is running one of the largest corporate espionage operations in modern history https://browsergate.eu/
Is there anything Microsoft is not doing these days?
Microsoft is running one of the largest corporate espionage operations in modern history. Every time any of LinkedInās one billion users visits linkedin.com, hidden code searches their computer for installed software, collects the results, and transmits them to LinkedInās servers and to third-party companies including an American-Israeli cybersecurity firm. The user is never asked. Never told. LinkedInās privacy policy does not mention it. Because LinkedIn knows each userās real name, employer, and job title, it is not searching anonymous visitors. It is searching identified people at identified companies. Millions of companies. Every day. All over the world.

Because if thereās one thing GenAI companies absolutely donāt take lightly, itās copyright.
