Judge Elke Schwager summarized the case saying that if you want to build something and need components, "then you purchase them and do not use the property of others."

Thank you for sharing Violet. Will definelty check the program out.

Starving American men, women, and children is just leverage to Republicans to get rid of subsidies on American's healthcare insurance cost so they can use the rising cost they allowed to happen as an excuse that Obamacare is failing.

Republicans will either hurt you, or hurt you worse, your choice

HR giant Workday says hackers stole personal data in recent breach | TechCrunch The HR tech giant said it had no indication of any unauthorized access to customer systems, but has not ruled out a breach affecting customers' personal information.

I wasn't aware of this company until we were told that we would be using it. It has been a disaster for employees. Now this and Workday is trying to hide its data breach notification from search engines. Why?

Amplifying the voice of our friend and colleague, @brandicd.bsky.social tonight, in case you don’t know her work and contributions ♥️

This is significant.

Under Trump, AI Scientists Are Told to Remove ‘Ideological Bias’ From Powerful Models A directive from the National Institute of Standards and Technology eliminates mention of “AI safety” and “AI fairness.”

“Human flourishing” has long been on my list of bullshit terms wrt AI - some memed Aristotle and it became the bullshit term of AI ethics - but now it’s a right wing dog whistle.

Keep an eye on how the AISI will be weaponized as the Trump/Musk AI Act is written. 1/
