Earlier it was Tencent. Now it's Baidu (202.46.48.0/20) getting an iptables block from phpc.social because I like having decentralized social media reachable more than I like them scraping it for their LLMs or whatever (sorry Alibaba, had "Qwen" here a second ago, but I'll block y'all too if you try this crap).

Labour's Sepuloni needs to be much more confident, and Labour needs to sell taxes, by explaining the nuances. That most people are not going to pay more. The number of taxes isn't the issue. It's the amount that people pay in aggregate. I think Labour is wimping out of its opportunity.

I'll generalize, apologies.
Broadly speaking, almost ever painting ever made is a work of art.
Photography made things much, much easier - you just need to be where what you want to photograph is - and perhaps one photo in a million is a true work of art.
GenAI made things even easier - you don't even to be there.
I don't think we'll ever see a true work of art from it.
