US Supreme Court declines to hear dispute over copyrights for AI-generated material The U.S. Supreme Court declined on Monday to take up the ​issue of whether art generated by artificial intelligence can be copyrighted under U.S. law, turning ‌away a case involving a computer scienti...

AI-created art isn't eligible for copyright protection, after the Supreme Court chose not to review a lower court ruling.

In 2022 the Copyright Office said images without “human authorship,” don't qualify for copyright protection — this was affirmed in 2023 by a district court.

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.

One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

the incentives here are so obscenely terrible that the entire thing should be illegal by default

“I am sabotaging negotiations because I stand to make piles of money on Polymarket” is absolutely in play, what a horrifying clusterfuck

WSJ ‹ Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Is Dead:.... Last Updated: Feb. 28, 2026 at 9:41pm ET • LIVE 1 hour ago U.S. Strikes in Middle East Use Anthropic, Hours After Trump Ban

WSJ PATRICK SISON/ASSOCIATED PRESS Within hours of declaring that the federal government will end its use of artificial-intelligence tools made by tech company Anthropic, President Trump launched a major air attack in Iran with the help of those very same tools. Commands around the world, including U.S. Central Command in the Middle East, use Anthropic's Claude AI tool, people familiar with the matter confirmed. Centcom declined to comment about specific systems being used in its ongoing operation against Iran. The command uses the tool for intelligence assessments, target identification and simulating battle scenarios even as tension between the company and Pentagon ratcheted up, the people said, highlighting how embedded the AI tools are in military operations. The administration and Anthropic have been feuding for months over how its AI models can be used by the Pentagon. Trump on Friday ordered agencies to stop working with the company and the Defense Department designated it a security threat and risk to its supply chain.

lol even though they banned them the government used Claude anyway. Slop strategies for the Epic Bacon War. This could not have gone worse for Altman

It should be much more at the forefront of our minds, the extent to which the most politically activated and politically empowered segment of the authoritarian American cult calling itself "Christian" see the apocalypse as something to hasten, not prevent.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

How do you feel about Andy Beshear?

this would be like if at the height of the invasion of Gondor, Mordor had voted overwhelmingly for Aragorn

It really is worth understanding what an escalation this is by the feds to be teargassing the big family friendly march

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks.

They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

I've talked to people on the ground about the strike here tomorrow, and the single thing everyone brings up is just how shockingly wide the support for the strike is. Businesses that no one would have expected to support it are doing so.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

There are so many horrors on an hourly basis, it is hard to keep up. But spare a moment to absorb this picture of the future. The end of science (and very possibly America) as we know it.

I’m tired of being talked down to by people like this. They are doing the Elon Musk Mars In 2 Years bit but have tied the entire U.S. economy to a bespoke compliment generator. It’s time to start talking about these AI mutants like delusional babies.

ahahaha they're doing it on purpose at this point

"Sir! This is a warning!" the agent yelled as he punched the man's vehicle window. "Stop f—king following us! You are impeding operations! This is the United States federal government!" "I live over here," the driver explained. "I got to get to my house." "This is your warning!" the officer exclaimed. "I serve the Lord; go to church," the resident replied. "I will arrest you!" the officer threatened. "Don't make a bad decision," another agent warned. "I serve the Lord," the driver repeated. "Not a draft-dodging coward." "Let these people go to church," the driver added. "Let these people serve the Lord and worship." "You're not going to like the outcome of this, sir," the first officer said. "I guarantee that... Did you not learn from what just happened [when Renee Good was killed]?" "Learn what?" the driver asked. "I serve the Lord, not a draft-dodging coward. I can't believe you'd take orders from a draft dodger."

it's incredible how if you put this entire dialog into the Left Behind series, it would basically work, but instead it's just IRL MN

incredibly fucking based. big ups to the Episcopalians.

Tea people get it

Mamdani Called Trump to Criticize Venezuela Strikes

NYT gonna NYT: "Both Mr. Mamdani and Mr. Maduro identify as socialists, though they have no relationship.” — would be funny if they did this every time you write about two capitalists.
