(However, I realize that as long as nobody pokes the giant copyright holders or others with deep pockets, then maybe none of this will reach the courts in a meaningful way. And maybe the copyright giants will train these AI/ML machines on their own works and use them internally for "efficiency". You know, eliminate jobs or keep wages down. "You know we can replace you with these hallucinating machines!" Who knows.)

There's many people who seem to think (or want us to think) the new ML/AI machines automating "remixing" of existing works at scale is already considered fair use. I would like to remind us that fair use (in the US anyway) is determined by judges in court cases.

If you have existing practices that have already been determined to be fair use, then you're *probably* safe. If you have entirely new practices, then I would expect court cases eventually.

This is the perfect weather to make a big pot of soup in. I should go to the shops before they get busy.

I wonder if I can forgo the meat substitutes with enough legumes? I’ll look like the protein content I guess.

Interesting: it seems Mastodon UI offers translations for _some_ posts, but not others?

Doesn't seem to be an "iff French" thing either
