Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Parallel map for NEH funding to states. NB that 40% of NEH funding goes directly to the state humanities councils, which do critical community work and which benefits people --culturally and economically-- all across the country. www.neh.gov/impact/states

College professors stage NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament Teach-In on Federal Government’s Higher Education cuts “Our ability to train the next generation of STEM professionals is in jeopardy,” said Maia Bailey, a Providence College biology professor. “We have lost funds to help us teach more effectively..."

Cuts to universities aren't just about "woke" and affect Red states too. @sethrockman.bsky.social organized a "teach-in" at the NCAA tourney in Providence. Hear me talk (1 min) about the US gov't as the world's ultimate venture capitalist! @phileil.bsky.social took great notes.
