@alicefraser.bsky.social when they uploaded the new Realms Unknown to YouTube, the title is wrong. They spelled Prisons as Prions (the brain disease).

If only this were what "neutral" looked like. Anyone who thinks that Dolly was neutral or apolitical wasn't paying attention. She believes in treating people like people. In respecting everyone. In being the leg up instead of the boot holding people down. She is what the rich could be and aren't.

1. DHS surges 3,000 officers to Minneapolis without doing anywhere near enough prep first. 2. Hundreds of habeas cases overwhelm local courts. 3. Dozens of DOJ lawyers quit in disgust/anger. 4. The DOJ brings in JAGs to cover. 5. A JAG was just held in contempt and fined $500/day for ICE's failures.

@alicefraser.bsky.social for the AI and the Creative Professional podcast, I would love to hear a discussion about whether the training itself is a copyright violation, not the output. I think that the fact creators didn't consent to the use for training has to be some kind of violation.
