Thomson Reuters wins AI copyright 'fair use' ruling against one-time competitor. This is interesting and a ground-breaking ruling. That AI-generated art is not copyrightable has already been litigated in courts. But you can't just go out and ingest someone else's IP to train on without permission. I think this is fair. It's going to make a lot of GenAI startups pause before they get data to train on.

Seattle is going to hit their economic beneficiaries with a new tax. Why even do business in that city. Bezos was smart to flee Seattle.
And the state of Washington is considering "pay-per-mile" taxation. How are they going to tax out-of-state people?
Yes, Washington legislators are just crazy. Witness:
Oregon is dumb, too. They're considering reparations to Blacks. i think the only reason they propose this stupidity is that they can say that they tried, and those Republicans shot it down. My family and ancestors had nothing to do with slavery – why should my tax money go to this? Just another grift.
