Wow, MAGA’s are circulating this—without any irony intended. They want a “return” to an imaginary 1950’s when everyone knew their place and white men pretended they weren’t gay & apparently exuded something now called “masculine energy.”

See how she wears her cropped flannel and high waisted black jean shorts? Very sad girl autumn. Very “miserable and nobody even knows.” ✨

Eric Schmidt, asking not to be quoted, told budding entrepreneurs at Stanford to steal content in order to build startups quickly, and have lawyers “clean the mess up” later.
This is unfortunately advice lots of VCs give aspiring founders. They just usually don’t say it publicly.
Today, Celine Dion’s management team and her record label, Sony Music Entertainment Canada Inc., became aware of the unauthorized usage of the video, recording, musical performance, and likeness of Celine Dion singing “My Heart Will Go On” at a Donald Trump / JD Vance campaign rally in Montana.
In no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use.
…And really, THAT song?
Some crazy stuff in this ProofNews update on Nvidia’s mass scraping of YouTube etc.:
- They say in internal messages that there’ll be no negative sentiment because they won’t reveal their training data
- Employees raised concerns, those concerns were dismissed
- They internally justify scraping by saying it’s for research purposes, despite these being commercial models
- They scraped copyrighted videos in part because they think OpenAI are doing the same (proof that the arms race is driving these actions)
- They cite fair use in their statement to ProofNews, essentially admitting the reports are accurate
AI company employees who raise concerns about training on copyrighted work, only to be ignored, should quit.

Encouraging to see https://t.co/QvKcruzeIl announce an LLM they’re training on licensed data.
Revenue share for data providers ✅
Licensing before training ✅
No scraping ✅
Gen AI doesn’t have to be based on exploiting copyrighted work without permission.
