Frederick McKinley "Casey" Jones was a man we should all know about. He was a self-taught genius--though his parents abandoned him at 12. He ran away from his orphanage at 17.
He had 60 patents to his name, though he probably should have had more. The refrigeration units he invented for trains and trucks, ALONE, should have guaranteed him lasting fame!

I think that this should indeed be public knowledge as we already pay for this with public money via the universities. The same is not true for the creative industry, including many individual artists that need to make a living off these creative works. But instead of addressing this issue of copyright (the fact that people don't have access to knowledge that is generated with their money) the blogposts are instead complaining that #AI should be exempted?

Not going backwards is a win.
Given Donald Trump's fraught relationship with Volodymyr Zelenskyy, that's important.
The Mar-a-Lago meeting did not materially move things forward
but nor was there a bust-up like that Oval Office moment in February.
There were however some notable takeaways.
First, Zelenskyy's facial expressions...

The federal agent described her wounds as “boo-boos.”
Nevertheless, the Department of Justice aggressively pursued the alleged perpetrator.
They jailed Sidney Lori Reid on a charge of felony assault,
accusing her of injuring the agent during a July protest of Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown in Washington, D.C.
When grand jurors thrice declined to indict the 44-year-old on the felony, prosecutors tried her on a misdemeanor.
