Don't Steal This Book back
Princeton University Press supports the Don’t Steal This Book campaign, a call from authors urging the UK government to take a stance on the unlicensed use of creative work in AI training.

A boy plays football inside a church property-turned shelter for displaced people in Beirut yesterday. More than half a million people are now displaced by war across Lebanon, according to authorities. Almost 400 have been killed, including 83 children. Report soon, @irishtimes.com
I never thought I'd see the day when a Youtube channel about CSS would get 1 million subscribers. More importantly. It shows that people are still interested in the trade and the manual work rather than outsourcing everything to LLMs. Congratz, @kevinpowell.co!

New paper from team @aial.ie! aial.ie/research/gpa...
EU's AI Act Article 53(1)(d) is an obligation for GPAI model providers to publicly provide a 'summary' on their model’s training data. The team assessed published summaries along 6 dimensions & found that all big providers failed on all 6.

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.
Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump:
"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."
🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.
This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.
Please spread the word.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Derrière les images majestueuses du film "Le Chant des forêts", un travail discret façonne l’expérience du spectateur. Celui de Marc Namblard, audio-naturaliste "chasseur de sons", qui capte les voix de la forêt comme d’autres composent une musique.

Most EU governments hate immigration but it’s looking like demographics are going to force them to change their stance. One would hope they won’t want to have policies that promote declining living standards. (Then again, Brexit.)
Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop

This article looks at why JS-heavy web apps tend to miss their performance goals over time, what you can do to somewhat mitigate that, and ends with a plea for us to move back to the server, as an industry.

Spanish gov decision makes so much sense.
