It's almost like putting a quack anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist in charge of the nation's health policy has consequences. "The United States has now had more measles deaths in the past two years than we have had in the previous three decades combined...": www.ms.now/news/pennsyl...

Pennsylvania’s measles outbreak is the largest in decades in the U.S.

The state has surpassed 1,000 measles cases this year, health officials said Monday, making it the largest outbreak in the U.S. in more than three decades.

This is a good illustration of how so much of AI theft isn't indirect (ie, data sucked into a model to train the chatbot) - it's actually **direct** copying, but *enabled* by GenAI. Of course it is: chatbots absolutely suck at creating good, new stuff.

Of course you're right, Dan. What a strange typo!

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

As a small-town Minnesota youth who was a devoted fan of Marvel artist Mike Ploog, it would have floored me to find out he was also raised on a southern Minnesota farm. Comic art this great makes me swoon!

That's the Silhouette, one of the original 1968 "Sweet 16" Hot Wheels castings, based on Bill Cushenbery's 1962 custom show car.The modern version is technically the "Silhouette II," a retooled revival of the original casting done by designer Phil Riehlman.

I remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. Now, two MORE unvaccinated people have died from measles. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

Every single Trump voter is partially responsible for the MAGA degradation of the United States, especially the betrayal of our allies. We can fix this. Vote blue no matter who. MAGA must be held accountable for its crimes.
