Ukraine is shocked that the US administration is abandoning them to the mercies of the Russians, and apparently so is the EU. hmmm. were they not listening to him & to his now-Cabinet & -Staff during the campaign?

The Fat Orange Child phantasizes it is the Age of Gunboat Diplomacy again, with Great Power Leaders & Spheres of Influence &etc harumph.

there are at least 2 problems with that perception:

-1 this is not 1885
&
-2 Ukraine is not Congo

🚨 Elon Musk is trying to buy another election. The Wisconsin Supreme Court race is just over a month away, and Musk will spend over half a million dollars to support a MAGA extremist who wants to enforce a 175-year-old abortion ban.

We can't match Musk's money but we have the power of the people. 🧵

TL;DR: Expanding copyright controls on AI threatens innovation, competition, and fair use, potentially hindering important scientific research and artistic expression.

There's a blog post floating out there with the quote “I don't think I have ever seen so much technical debt being created in such a short period of time"

Yeah, turns out AI-generated code you don't understand creates quick wins but massive long term problems.
