I’m sorry but…what? They were selling other people’s content to each other???
According to another portion of the motion that was unredacted on Thursday, on top of copying stories to teach LLMs to cook up content that looks a lot like news, the companies illicitly copied
"billions of web pages" for "horse trading"-like deals
- meaning they sold the content to each other rather than licensing it from the news organizations. Microsoft did not address a question about the allegation.

Maybe it's worth questioning why Ed Sheeran was willing to have Macklemore on his tour in the first place, after all those concerts and video in that nasty antisemitic costume he wore (and defended). Like, I'm against genocide, too, but Macklemore isn't exactly the best representative for this one?

Beneficent [ben-IF-iss-ent] (adj.) - Doing or producing good; performing acts of kindness and charity; characterized by beneficence. Used in a sentence: “Few stars have been so beneficent as Dolly, transforming a lifetime of legendary success into a legacy of gentle munificence.”
A "Grandiloquent Word of the Day" meme for “Beneficent,” defined as “Doing or producing good; performing acts of kindness and charity; characterized by beneficence.” At right is a black-and-white portrait of Dolly Parton. Beneath the definition, the example reads: “Few stars have been so beneficent as Dolly, transforming a lifetime of legendary success into a legacy of gentle munificence.”
