Hypocrites.
You built an industry on scraping the internet and now you’re shocked someone scraped you. You normalized the idea that anything publicly accessible is fair game for training. That’s the precedent you set. I don’t want to hear you bitch about it now.

"More fossil fuel funded fascism is around the corner.
Ecocide has the full backing of Trump. "
#Trump is speaking at the first “#BoardOfPeace” meeting
Trump proposed the board in September 2025 when he announced *his* plan to end the #Gaza war.
He later made clear its remit would be expanded beyond Gaza to other global conflicts.
Trump will be the chairman & purportedly it will be tasked with promoting peace around the world & resolving conflicts.
According to its charter it will undertake "peace-building functions in accordance with #InternationalLaw" — we’ll see.
"This is an extortion scheme where you pay to not have war.
If you pay, Trump will arrange to kidnap your head of state.
If you pay, Trump will arrange an ethnic cleansing.
If you pay, Trump will arrange a Russian invasion.
If you pay, Trump will arrange a fossil fuel shakedown.
If you pay, Trump will arrange an election win.
If you pay, Trump will arrange mafia-style public corruption."
The problem with Mafia Don's is you never stop paying.
AP characterizes a large banner featuring Trump’s face on the exterior of DoJ headquarters today as “a physical display of the Republican president’s efforts to exert power over the law enforcement agency that once investigated him” and “a striking symbol of the erosion of the department’s tradition of independence from White House control.”
"Trump wants his face plastered everywhere like any tinpot despot with a weak ego & a malignant narcissistic borderline personality disorder. "

Odd response from Google Gemini when asked to find recent articles or opinion pieces about CBS News. It keeps responding: "I can't help with CBS yet, but I'm still learning.”
Finally, I asked it to explain what the heck that means and it tells me the cause is "a bit of an automated 'brain fart.’"
"As intended by its investors & owners, AI continues to contaminate the pool of knowledge, like an incontinent child in a swimming pool."
In other words, AI is automated firehosing.
