“Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg says there are complex copyright questions around scraping data to train AI models, but he suggests the individual work of most creators isn’t valuable enough for it to matter.”

Isn’t this how Richard Pryor’s character became a villain after getting caught stealing half-pennies from a bunch of bank transactions in Superman III?

“Mark Zuckerberg: creators and publishers ‘overestimate the value’ of their work for training AI”

I think CEOs overestimate the value of their work. Takes one to know one I guess 🤷

If anyone who isn't from an area that gets tropical weather is curious, the red line on the right is the distance from #Tampa to #FortMyers, about a 2-hour drive. The red line on the left, which is identical, is #HurricaneMilton. Almost all of what you see is tropical storm-strength winds <75mph. #Hurricane winds are currently in a band about 25 miles from the eye (and the 180mph winds are in an area less than ONE MILE across). It's an astonishingly small storm (it will get bigger but weaker).
Radar of Hurricane Milton comparing its size to the distance between Tampa and Fort Myers, Florida.

Illustration of Zeta Syanthis, an anthro dragon, exploring part of a long-abandoned temple. She casts a light spell in her left hand, illuminating nearby stained glass windows. In her right hand, she holds a long staff like a walking stick. The stone walls and floor around her have been overtaken by trees and other vegetation.
Full body drawing of a human treasure hunter climbing along a rocky path toward a treasure chest. They are holding a whimsical fish-shaped lantern in one hand and using their other hand to shield themself from the spray of a waterfall.
Full body drawing of Brennus, a crow-like tengu, raising up a staff in his right hand and casting a powerful spell with swirling green, blue, and purple magic. He is glaring at the viewer.
Illustration of four characters - a large hairless feline, a serpent, a gnome, and a canine. They are all carrying various styles of bags or packs and traveling along a path overlooking a river gorge. The gnome appears to be speaking to the feline and the serpent, while the canine is running ahead chasing a dragonfly.

I'm seeing reports of #Israel using #BunkerBombs, but did you know that #DepletedUranium is often used in those bombs?

"Often, these types of bombs use depleted #uranium in their casing, similar to certain shells, which enhances their strength. While this does not make them #nuclear weapons, it does disperse #radioactive contamination at the impact site, which can be felt in an area of several meters, at low levels."

“Hi, I’m Mardi, and I’m your neighbor.”

Incredible organizers like Mardi are using our groundbreaking GOTV tool to reach Arizona voters who are at risk of staying home: “Devolites is under the helm of Indivisible, a national progressive organizing group. And she is one of thousands of canvassers across Arizona, putting sweat equity into reaching voters far outside the traditional Democratic Party.” notus.org/harris-2024/kamala-h…

Going nuclear, fusion could reduce emissions, increase security [Advocacy Lab Content]: For its proponents, the lesser-known nuclear process – fusion - could bring a new era of clean and secure energy to Europe. For its detractors, it’s an expensive distraction. dlvr.it/TF7s81?utm_source=dlvr…
