So, Meta downloaded an unholy number of pirated books via the BitTorrent protocol to train its AI and is now arguing in court that seeding those books to strangers along the way counts as fair use. Because, you know, that's just how business works.

But wait, it gets way better!

At the same time, Spotify is cracking down on Anna's Archive, the very shadow library Meta torrented all those books from. Apparently some of the music on Anna's Archive is now a problem for them. Whether even their lawyers fully understand why remains unclear. They sure are not paying attention to history.

To complete the full circle of irony: Spotify infamously launched its own service by... pirating as much music as it could get its hands on before quietly sorting out the licenses later.

So to summarise: piracy is a crime, unless you're a billion-dollar company using it to build an empire, in which case it's either fair use, transformative or just a fun-fact origin story they don't put in the press kit.

Achja, Wolfgang #Weimer, bekannt durch die 3 Buchläden, die #Berlinale, und als Kulturstaatsminister, mag nicht, wenn "sein" Sex - Gedichtband #Kopfpilz erwähnt wird.
Damit euch das nicht versehentlich passiert: Darum geht es:

Danke, #JanBöhmermann

Sigh.

New boss: “You’re good at writing notes.”

Me: “Thank you, it helps me to remember so I have been writing summaries for many years.”

New boss: “You should try CoPilot and see what it can do.”

Me: “Well I enjoy summarizing my notes, and it helps me to learn and remember.”

New boss: “Let me show you something I did in CoPilot.”

Ugh. Writing it myself helps me LEARN and REMEMBER. Why are these AI zombies so intent on changing a process that is helpful to me? Feeding notes through CoPilot won’t benefit me when it’s the act of writing that works for me.

Merz: "Wir werden mit dieser Partei (AfD) nicht zusammenarbeiten."

Hagel: "Kein Amt der Welt ist es wert, mit Stimmen der AfD in dieses Amt gewählt zu werden."

Kann man nicht anders sagen: Stabil!

Nouveau strip ! "Bilingue". Une histoire tragique sur fond de fossé linguistique.
