They fired the director of the Copyright Office and now they're coming to destroy your rights and hand everything over to AI companies. I don't think people realize how insane this move is, speak up now before it's too late.

Deepseek, like ChatGPT, produces utter garbage. Look up topics you know and ask for citations. It misquotes research, misunderstands arguments, & mischaracterizes publications. Like most students, it doesn't read enough. This is meant to be "cutting edge"? Dumb and dumber.
Missing Google Search’s cached pages? After a long hiatus, it now integrates results from the Wayback Machine! blog.archive.org/2024/09/11/new…

I don't think there's a better plot to illustrate AI's power demands than this one -- not only does Big Tech consume as much as countries like Slovenia, because of AI, their consumption is growing tremendously 🫠 bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
