Ron DeSantis signed a law that prevents municipalities in Florida from requiring that employers provide shade and water breaks for outdoor workers.

A study found that heat-related deaths in FL shot up by 88% between 2019 and 2022.

Folks, this is the GOP's vision for America.

Gotta love these small-government Republicans. Really big on local control.

Well this works for me, because if I download a movie I'm certainly not going to be producing exact copies or near exact copies of content and posting it for commercial gain.

I guess all those MPAA/RIAA lawsuits about unauthorized duplication and distribution were bullshit as well. Maybe Daniel Jeffries will help those who got sued get their money back.

“Trying to get everyone to license training data is not going to work because that's not what copyright is about,” Jeffries wrote. “Copyright law is about preventing people from producing exact copies or near exact copies of content and posting it for commercial gain. Period. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying or simply does not understand how copyright works.”

    So Pirate Bay is just a source of training material for video AI models. Cool.
