Very well said!

Your response was uncalled for

"The New York Times is striking back against the threat that artificial intelligence poses to the news industry, filing a federal lawsuit Wednesday against OpenAI and Microsoft seeking to end the practice of using its stories to train chatbots.

The Times says the companies are threatening its livelihood by effectively stealing billions of dollars worth of work by its journalists, in some cases spitting out Times’ material verbatim to people who seek answers from generative artificial intelligence like OpenAI’s ChatGPT. The newspaper’s lawsuit was filed in federal court in Manhattan and follows what appears to be a breakdown in talks between the newspaper and the two companies, which began in April.

The media has already been pummeled by a migration of readers to online platforms. While many publications — most notably the Times — have successfully carved out a digital space, the rapid development of AI threatens to significantly upend the publishing industry.

Web traffic is an important component of the paper’s advertising revenue and helps drive subscriptions to its online site. But the outputs from AI chatbots divert that traffic away from the paper and other copyright holders, the Times says, making it less likely that users will visit the original source for the information."

I sure am. Are you?

ok 🙂

I didn’t know it was showing that. I’ll check my settings, and adjust. Thank you for letting me know.

Agreed!

How many more people have to be killed while going about their daily lives?

Coward!

This tactic seems short-sighted to me. It will force migrate people to firefox.

“Beyond Google Messages, there are other messaging clients that use RCS”.

I was surprised to see this statement, and I’d like know which ‘other clients’ are being referred to here. Anybody know?

It sounds more like an AI-generated statement

Right on!

This is good news about Firefox enabling 200 extensions for the mobile browser. 4 years ago when Firefox disabled all but a few of them, it left me scrambling for another browser. So in the meantime I’ve been using Kiwi Browser because it’s developed to use chrome extensions in android. After Firefox brings back ability to load a lot more extensions, I’ll come home to FF once again.

Long overdue, but this will be a benefit for all.

If you scroll just below the article you’ll see the following about the author: “Josh Moon is an investigative reporter and featured columnist at the Alabama Political Reporter with years of political reporting experience in Alabama.” That tells me the ‘we’ is his Alabama audience.

True!

This is extremely sad. His own GOP community first outed him, then rejected him.
