A federal judge has ruled that Anthropic's use of copyrighted works to train AI is transformative and fair use.

An important caveat is that in this particular case, the authors conceded that "training LLMs did not result in any exact copies nor even infringing knockoffs of their works being provided to the public."

The ruling says authors are still free to sue in the future if they can prove those things happen.

Not going to lie, it's stories like this that make me scratch my head. This kid has been "referred" to the Juvenile Justice System 7 times already and the Judge released the kid while he awaits trial for an armed carjacking that resulted in one of the victims getting shot and wounded, and the kids' accomplice getting shot and killed.

Kids in and around Albuquerque know they can literally get away with murder because the Courts will simply let them go, free to car jack yet another person, or kill someone.

Solcular Sebahat Akkiraz hakkında çok fazla duyar kasıyorlar. Alevilik içinde böyle tiplerin olduğu zaten hep bellidir. Bakınız; Hızır Paşa, Yavuz Bingöl, Yunan halkına "Kahpe" diyen Mahzuni Şerif...
Sebahat Akkiraz entelektüel biri değil, onun yaptığı bilinçsiz ırkçılık, CHP'ye yaranma içgüdüsü...
Asıl sorgulanması gereken Türkiye ve Kürt Solu içindeki İttihatçılar... Ermeni Soykırımı'nda parmağı olan Nuri Paşa'yı, Nuri Dersimi'yi, Bedirhan'ı, Simko Ağa'yı kendilerine milli önder olarak görenler (!) Simko'nun evine davet ettiği Asuri Papazı'nı nasıl sırtından vurduğunu herkes bilir!
Yine asıl sorgulanması gereken; Ermeni mallarına kene gibi çöken Ahmet Türk! Ahmet Türk'ün ve ailesinin ne kadar Ermeni'yi öldürdüğü, mallarının Ermeni ve Süryaniler'den kalma mallar olduğunu herkes bilir. Ermeni Soykırımı anti demokratik bir insanlık suçu ise Ahmet Türk'ü Demokratik Toplum Partisi'ne ve Demokratik Toplum Kongresi'ne başkan yapanlar kimlerdi?
Bir ufak hatırlatmada Ermeni Soykırımı'nda parmağı olan İttihatçı Ethem Nejat ve Mustafa Suphi üzerine... Ethem Nejat, Alparslan Türkeş'e örnek olacak Türk Ocakları derneğinin Yusuf Akçura ile birlikte ortak kurucusudur... Mustafa Suphi komünist olduktan sonra bile partisine yüzlerce İttihatçı'yı alan isimdir. Bunlardan Bahattin Şakir, Doktor Nazım ve Salih Zeki en bilinenleridir.
Mustafa Suphi, TKP'nin başına Salih Zeki Zor'u getiriyor. Bu kişinin soyismi Dera Zor'da katlettiği iki yüz bin Ermeni'den geliyor. Yani Salih Zeki Zor bir İttihatçı komutanıdır ve Mustafa Suphi de bu gerçeği bilmesine rağmen onu partisinin başına getirecek kadar İttihatçı ve Türkçü'dür...
İşte bu Mustafa Suphi, Kaypakkaya'nın kendisine "önder" dediği; Denizlerin ve Mahir Çayan'ların kendisine örnek aldığı Mustafa Suphi'dir...
Peki daha doğru düzgün konuşmayı bile beceremeyen Sabahat Akkiraz'ı Talat Paşa'yı savunduğu için yerden yere vurun; peki mahkemesinde Erzurumlu dedelerinin Ermenileri öldürmesiyle övünen Deniz Gezmiş'i nereye koyacaksınız (!)

For the 12 day war with Iran, so far
"...directly and indirectly, the war could cost Israel up to $20 billion"
"...the Israeli government is considering one of the three following measures to cover the widening budget deficit: cutting down on public spending on health and education, increasing taxes, or resorting to borrowing, which could bump up the public debt to national income ratio by over 75 percent"

How about US taxpayers money?

@prolrage From what I hear they've been losing TANKS and other armored vehicles in Gaza. Not only that, these tanks are being knocked out using locally produced antitank weapons from Gaza's obviously excellent local workshops.

Retaliating against civilians whether with firing squads or with carpet bombing is straight out of the Nazi playbook. Thus we know who the freedom fighters and who the Nazis are in this war.

Such IOF behavior as torturing unarmed prisoners with acid and cigarette butts won't stop Merkava tanks from having their turrets blown off, nor will it bring back the tank crews that seconds earlier were firing at tents full of civilians.

There is a black-out on the news of successful attacks of #Palestinian #Resistance against #zioNaZis.
Amid a total blockade of supplies and #genocide against non-combatant Palestinians, the Resistance still carries out surgical and extremely successful operations against #IOF.
When you read "Occupation committed a massacre against dozens of civilians and children" have in mind that the strike is retaliation because of a successful attack of Resistance. And when we say "successful" means against zionazi soldiers, not civilians...

Al-Quds, Al-Qassam, and Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades launch coordinated attacks against Israeli occupation forces in Khan Younis as part of the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation.

#Palestinian #resistance factions in #Gaza have announced multiple successful operations targeting Israeli vehicles in the Strip, confirming casualties among the Israeli Occupation Forces.

As part of the ongoing Al-Aqsa Flood Operation, Palestinian resistance fighters persist in attacking Israeli forces operating inside the Gaza Strip, causing Israeli military casualties with both killed and wounded soldiers.

The Al-Quds Brigades also announced today that they had carried out a coordinated operation, beginning with the detonation of a minefield targeting Israeli military vehicles advancing in the Huda Square area east of Gaza City's #Shujaiya neighborhood, forcing soldiers and officers to take shelter in nearby houses.

The fighters then targeted the troops who had taken cover inside the houses, first with a guided missile, followed by an anti-fortification TBG shell. Afterwards, the fighters engaged Israeli soldiers in close-quarters combat using light and medium weapons, leaving casualties of both dead and wounded, according to a statement released by Al-Quds Brigades.

The Israeli military says five of its soldiers have been killed after Palestinian fighters detonated explosive devices during an operation in northern Gaza’s Beit Hanoon area.

The Israeli military said the five soldiers, aged between 20 and 28, “fell during combat in the northern #Gaza Strip”, while 14 others sustained injuries – two of them “severely wounded”.

“What we understand is that the #Israeli soldiers were attacked, then the unit that tried to come to their rescue was also attacked, and then a third group of soldiers that tried to extract them was also attacked,” she said.
aljazeera.com/news/2025/7/8/fi…

In a statement published on Telegram on Tuesday, Abu Obeida added that the #war of attrition being waged by Resistance fighters across the Gaza Strip, from north to south, continues to inflict daily losses on the Israeli occupation.

"Our fighters launched their attack from the very ruins the occupation believed were devoid of life," Abu Obeida stated, adding, "The war of attrition our fighters are fighting across the entire Gaza Strip, from the North to the South, will continue to cost the enemy more losses by the day."

‘FuckLAPD.com’ Lets Anyone Use Facial Recognition to Instantly Identify Cops


A new site, FuckLAPD.com, is using public records and facial recognition technology to allow anyone to identify police officers in Los Angeles they have a picture of. The tool, made by artist Kyle McDonald, is designed to help people identify cops who may otherwise try to conceal their identity, such as covering their badge or serial number.

“We deserve to know who is shooting us in the face even when they have their badge covered up,” McDonald told me when I asked if the site was made in response to police violence during the LA protests against ICE that started earlier this month. “fucklapd.com is a response to the violence of the LAPD during the recent protests against the horrific ICE raids. And more broadly—the failure of the LAPD to accomplish anything useful with over $2B in funding each year.”

“Cops covering up their badges? ID them with their faces instead,” the site, which McDonald said went live this Saturday. The tool allows users to upload an image of a police officer’s face to search over 9,000 LAPD headshots obtained via public record requests. The site says image processing happens on the device, and no photos or data are transmitted or saved on the site. “Blurry, low-resolution photos will not match,” the site says.

“fucklapd.com uses data provided by the City of Los Angeles directly to the public,” McDonald told me in an email. “This data has been provided in response to either public records requests or public records lawsuits. That means all of this information belongs to the public and is a matter of public record. fucklapd.com is not scraping any data.”

In addition to potentially identifying officers by name and serial number, FuckLAPD.com also pulls up a police officer’s salary.

“Surprisingly it [the domain name] only costs $10 a year to exercise my first amendment right to say fucklapd.com,” McDonald said.
playlist.megaphone.fm?p=TBIEA2…
I tested the tools by grabbing an image of a white and bald police officer from an LAPD press conference addressing its use of force during the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles. I uploaded the image to the site, and within a few seconds the site presented me with nine headshots of officers who could be possible matches, all of them bald white men. The first correctly identified the cop in the image I uploaded.

Clicking “view profile” under the result sent me to the Watch the Watchers site by the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, a community group based in the Skid Row neighborhood of downtown Los Angeles. “All of the information on this website comes from records that were deliberately made public by the City of Los Angeles in response to either public records requests or public records lawsuits,” the Watch the Watchers site says. “We plan to keep refreshing this data from new public records requests as well as to add other data.” Stop LAPD Spying Coalition is not associated with FuckLAPD.com and did not endorse the site.

McDonald told me that since the site launched, it had around 50,000 visitors, but “Because the analysis happens on-device I have no way of knowing what people are using it for, except for some people who have posted screenshots to Twitter or Instagram,” he said.

In 2018 McDonald made another tool called ICEspy which used hundreds of photos of ICE employees from LinkedIn and does much the same thing as FuckLAPD.com. “This app is designed to highlight and embarrass the organization committing atrocities against refugees and immigrants to the United States,” ICEspy’s website says. That tool originally used a Microsoft API, before Microsoft restricted access to it. McDonald said on X that he recently relaunched the tool to run locally on devices. 404 Media tested ICEspy using images of ICE employees on LinkedIn to verify if the tool worked and each result was incorrect; McDonald indicated on X he was looking for others to re-scrape LinkedIn and update the database.

Over the last few months ICE officers have consistently worn masks, neck gaiters, sunglasses, and baseball caps to shield their identity while often refusing to provide their name or even confirm the agency they belong to. This includes while violently assaulting people, detaining U.S. citizens, and pointing weapons at bystanders, leaving little room for recourse or accountability against the individual agents or the agency.

ICE’s constant use of masks has created a climate where people cannot be sure that the heavily armed group of men coming towards them are really federal agents or not. In Philadelphia, a man pretended to be an ICE agent in order to rob an auto repair shop and zip tie an employee. In Brooklyn, a man posed as an immigration officer before attempting to rape a woman.

ICE claims that assaults against its officers have increased by 413 percent, and use this as the justification for covering their faces. But as Philip Bump showed in the Washington Postthere are still plenty of questions about those numbers and their accuracy. ICE says its officers’ family members have been doxed too.

Neither the LAPD or ICE responded to a request for comment.

Joseph Cox contributed reporting.

Te lo describot

Aquí hay una descripción de texto alternativo para la imagen:

Una multitud de trabajadores de la construcción, muchos con cascos, protestan en una plaza soleada. Algunos levantan los brazos en señal de protesta, mientras otros sostienen carteles o simplemente observan. El fondo muestra edificios de varios pisos y palmeras. La atmósfera es de tensión y activismo.

i voted for the money. I consider myself intelligent enough to do the job i'm doing. I've never run into a problem where I felt "If I was just a bit more intelligent I could do this". I've never found something impossible for me to learn, even if it takes some effort to learn it. So, I think if I were twice as intelligent, I would perhaps have more genius insights or figure things out faster, but twice as much money would let me buy a house and have a much more stable life, which would be better for my wellbeing than being a prodigious genius, which might well make me more depressed than I currently am.

My poor kitty Lola. She still poops on the floor, which is semi-manageable now because I place puppy pads next to the litterbox. She also has blood in her urine. She's had 2 rounds of antibiotics and her culture is bacteria-free, so she has "idiopathic cystitis," ie no known cause. The vet suggests I give her Gabapentin to "manage stress," and I guess I'll try it, but I doubt the cause is "stress." I'm considering that the cats got Covid from me in 2023, when I was completely bed-bound for 4 weeks and sick for months, and that may be the source of their autoimmune disease too (they both have IBD) and complications. Which means, not much to be done. They're already both on prednisone for IBD, which shortens their lives all by itself. We (meaning my Mom, they're her cats too) have spent a lot of money on teats and treatments and vet visits, and some point need to stop and let the inevitable occur. My poor kitty.

Here's a pic of her cooling off on the floor under the ceiling fan yesterday.

‘FuckLAPD.com’ Lets Anyone Use Facial Recognition to Instantly Identify Cops


A new site, FuckLAPD.com, is using public records and facial recognition technology to allow anyone to identify police officers in Los Angeles they have a picture of. The tool, made by artist Kyle McDonald, is designed to help people identify cops who may otherwise try to conceal their identity, such as covering their badge or serial number.

“We deserve to know who is shooting us in the face even when they have their badge covered up,” McDonald told me when I asked if the site was made in response to police violence during the LA protests against ICE that started earlier this month. “fucklapd.com is a response to the violence of the LAPD during the recent protests against the horrific ICE raids. And more broadly—the failure of the LAPD to accomplish anything useful with over $2B in funding each year.”

“Cops covering up their badges? ID them with their faces instead,” the site, which McDonald said went live this Saturday. The tool allows users to upload an image of a police officer’s face to search over 9,000 LAPD headshots obtained via public record requests. The site says image processing happens on the device, and no photos or data are transmitted or saved on the site. “Blurry, low-resolution photos will not match,” the site says.

“fucklapd.com uses data provided by the City of Los Angeles directly to the public,” McDonald told me in an email. “This data has been provided in response to either public records requests or public records lawsuits. That means all of this information belongs to the public and is a matter of public record. fucklapd.com is not scraping any data.”

In addition to potentially identifying officers by name and serial number, FuckLAPD.com also pulls up a police officer’s salary.

“Surprisingly it [the domain name] only costs $10 a year to exercise my first amendment right to say fucklapd.com,” McDonald said.

I tested the tools by grabbing an image of a white and bald police officer from an LAPD press conference addressing its use of force during the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles. I uploaded the image to the site, and within a few seconds the site presented me with nine headshots of officers who could be possible matches, all of them bald white men. The first correctly identified the cop in the image I uploaded.

Clicking “view profile” under the result sent me to the Watch the Watchers site by the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, a community group based in the Skid Row neighborhood of downtown Los Angeles. “All of the information on this website comes from records that were deliberately made public by the City of Los Angeles in response to either public records requests or public records lawsuits,” the Watch the Watchers site says. “We plan to keep refreshing this data from new public records requests as well as to add other data.” Stop LAPD Spying Coalition is not associated with FuckLAPD.com and did not endorse the site.

McDonald told me that since the site launched, it had around 50,000 visitors, but “Because the analysis happens on-device I have no way of knowing what people are using it for, except for some people who have posted screenshots to Twitter or Instagram,” he said.

In 2018 McDonald made another tool called ICEspy which used hundreds of photos of ICE employees from LinkedIn and does much the same thing as FuckLAPD.com. “This app is designed to highlight and embarrass the organization committing atrocities against refugees and immigrants to the United States,” ICEspy’s website says. That tool originally used a Microsoft API, before Microsoft restricted access to it. McDonald said on X that he recently relaunched the tool to run locally on devices. 404 Media tested ICEspy using images of ICE employees on LinkedIn to verify if the tool worked and each result was incorrect; McDonald indicated on X he was looking for others to re-scrape LinkedIn and update the database.

Over the last few months ICE officers have consistently worn masks, neck gaiters, sunglasses, and baseball caps to shield their identity while often refusing to provide their name or even confirm the agency they belong to. This includes while violently assaulting people, detaining U.S. citizens, and pointing weapons at bystanders, leaving little room for recourse or accountability against the individual agents or the agency.

ICE’s constant use of masks has created a climate where people cannot be sure that the heavily armed group of men coming towards them are really federal agents or not. In Philadelphia, a man pretended to be an ICE agent in order to rob an auto repair shop and zip tie an employee. In Brooklyn, a man posed as an immigration officer before attempting to rape a woman.

ICE claims that assaults against its officers have increased by 413 percent, and use this as the justification for covering their faces. But as Philip Bump showed in the Washington Postthere are still plenty of questions about those numbers and their accuracy. ICE says its officers’ family members have been doxed too.

Neither the LAPD or ICE responded to a request for comment.

Zurückweisungen an deutschen Grenzen sind rechts- und verfassungswidrig.

Wird offen ignoriert.

Israels Genozid in #Gaza, sowie ein unprovozierter Angriffskrieg gegen den Iran sind völkerrechtswidrig.

Findet man nix schlimmes dran.

Die 'Intervention' der amerik. Faschisten ist eben so ein Verstoß gegen das Völkerrecht.

Auch hier klatscht der Kleine Fritz Beifall.

Es gibt einen Bericht über die offen rechtsbrüchige Bereicherung des Jens Spahn.

Diesen Bericht macht man "sich nicht zu eigen".

Jeder Bürgergeldempfänger wird drangsaliert und gebrandmarkt für 4,20€, während man die Fristen für eine Auffarbeitung der CumEx-Affäre (MILLIARDEN!) verstreichen lässt.

Rechtsextremisten lässt man fast zügellos freie Hand, während potenzielle klimaproteste oder Demos gegen Völkermord zu Extremisten erklärt werden.

Der #Faschismus ist schon hier; unterstützt vom deutschen Michel, der für 2km Autobahn alles und jeden Fortschritt als "linksgrünwoke" attackiert.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ich weiß nicht, wie ich euch sonst noch erklären soll, dass Gerichte, Parteiverbotsverfahren, das ganze Rechtsbrimborium und vorallem eure gottverdammten Petitionen rein gar nichts mehr bewirken werden.

"Over 377,000 people, half of them children, are missing in Gaza since Oct 2023, says Harvard-linked report, pointing to a far higher death toll than reported"
"According to Garb's findings, the actual number of people killed may be far higher than the official death toll, which currently stands at around 61,000"
Also, the GHF scheme is a further genocide tool at the IOF's disposal

My takeaway from my years in Greece:
- siesta is a must. You will catch up, waking early morning, when it is (relatively) cool.
- "space" aka SOS blanket, glued (even with tap water) on the outside surface of the glass, silver side to the sun, will protect interior from heating up.
- use shades and ventillation in a smart way.
