Very endearing protest image, unfortunately foiled by the double negative—d’oh!
oh you know, just trying to identify the humans pretending to be bots pretending to be humans.
Meanwhile, our lawmakers hold tight to the idea that China’s AI success is only from copying the work of brilliant US scientists. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/... China’s genius plan to win the AI race is already paying off

Fun turns of phrase at the judiciary on AI and Copyright: "The death-knell doctrine" and the issue of "the rare changelings."
AI appreciation day, now? Give me a break, JFC
