Several voters NPR spoke with said they rely on chatbots for down-ballot races — with thinner news coverage, to make tables comparing candidates for governors' races and to verify or debunk viral claims. 🔗 Find out more: vist.ly/5m6et ✍️ Maham Javaid | NPR 📸 Getty Images

It’s bad out there when the food banks start charging fees to get the food that they have! 37 dollars for a basket and 42 dollars if it’s a vegan basket, and the ppl in the TR comments are saying the lines are long and confusing, and that the food is all passed the “best by” date.

If USA Today is indeed unilaterally putting source interviews in some sort of database, in their entirety, allowing them to be cherry-picked by other reporters—and *AI*(!!)—that is journalistically indefensible and no one should ever talk to them again. Is this true? Is it Gannett wide?

He writes „That’s what people often forget when they talk about us — migrants, refugees, displaced people. They think we want papers, rice, a roof over our heads, a visa. Yes, that’s true. We want all that. But above all, we want to tell our stories, to describe what we’ve seen, to share the horror.

I didn’t like the style at first, it is short, abrupt, the story jumps and has gaps. But it also reminds me of the stories I once read in a book collected of people who survived the death camps, the death marches and ghettoes of the Holocaust. People who were no writers but told their stories.

The big question for these parents is "is my child their own person." Do they have the autonomy and agency to dress the way they want? Can they opt out of the picture? Can they dye their hair pink before picture day? Or is the image in the parents head more valuable?

Currently, authors posting to arXiv have no control over whether bots scrape their full-text PDFs and LaTeX source files.

We are calling on arXiv to implement a simple permission toggle during submission, allowing authors to decide what automated scrapers can access:

Full Access: Bots can read and scrape the full text and source files.

Metadata Only: Bots are restricted to the Title, Abstract, and Citation metadata.

Open science for human readers should not mean mandatory, unconsented data harvesting by commercial entities. Advancing scientific knowledge demands immense time, resources, and intellectual rigor — we deserve a say in whether our original work is fed into massive, opaque training sets.
