@mlanger Agreed, it is perplexing. I think it is the ongoing corporate devil to trick us into giving up our rights. Double edge funhouse of mirrors after things like Napster, etc is positioning copyright as bad and something corporations only wield so it can be weakened overall.

I have been struggling to understand why so many people would gleefully and openly celebrate the theft of writing and art via AI. Then I realize they haven’t ever had something that they personally brought to life, nurtured, loved and was immensely proud of, let alone depended on for paying the bills and feeding their families—they’ve never had anything they needed to protect at all costs, and that leaves me even sadder than I was before.

Went to see Sumo yesterday - yet another lovely assessment of masculinity.

Reading, relaxing, and Rockweiller.

@carpetbomberz yes, you tend to come down with the wokes.

I read one fiction and non-fiction in any given moment to keep things balanced — I just finish the Poppy War and Resisting AI.

When I read a book after the wife I get her commentary.

I asked Audrey where the Hindenburg crashed -- she said the cover of Led Zeppelin One.
