This is fascinating, and is another highlight of why copyright was built for a different world. But also, I sorta feel that, assuming this quote is accurate, this is a "problem" that solves itself over time.

🎯 Nailed it!

“[LLM ‘discoveries’ have] a certain incuriosity I have found endemic among [SV entrepreneurs].… Perhaps they did not realize their ‘discovery’ was well-known elsewhere, or perhaps their self-conception is that they are the smartest, and if they don’t know something, no one knows it.”

Starmer created this crisis by sacking a qualified and competent woman.

And when he sacked career diplomat Karen Pierce to give Mandelson her job, SIX other senior women diplomats left FCDO as their careers were doomed under his government.

He's done far worse, but I'm fine if this does for him.

Much more fun fact: You can show your appreciation by subscribing to the Onion for $9 a month AND get a print copy delivered right to your doorstep. membership.theonion.com

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

But there's someone right on the internet and one day I will find them.

There's a broader context that the Westminster Village is forgetting. Mandelson facilitated a meeting between Starmer and Mandelson's Global Counsel client Palantir, and Palantir do not have OUR best interests at heart.

Duncan has been working on this FOR-EVER. For context, I was brought in to work on it while Scott was developing DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS. That's how long he's been making this. It is truly a handmade movie made entirely from blood, sweat, and tears. Very, very excited for it.

Very on brand for a company whose logo has that rotational symmetry.

Unparliamentary and inaccurate. Starmer was willfully ignorant which itself is a typical Mandelson move.

He's laid up with his briefs and a nice bottle of Jack Daniels. They may need to break the door in again.
