Dandadan dropping this week is wild. It looks like Yakuza Fiancé finally caught on, watching those two is like a train wreck I can’t take my eyes off of.

Fair use isn’t a loophole, it is copyright law.

Don’t believe this dog, for it only tells lies.

Here’s a video explaining how diffusion models work, and this article by Kit Walsh, a senior staff attorney at the EFF.

This open letter by Katherine Klosek, the director of information policy and federal relations at the Association of Research Libraries, further expands on the pitfalls of this kind of thinking and the implications for broader society.

They explain what’s wrong with these two statements.
