Thom Yorke and Björn Ulvaeus want something done about AI and the 'unlicensed use of creative works for training generative AI.' Not OK, Computer? No. But I have some questions. New on my blog: kesterbrewin.com/2024/10/22/not…

Dear Elon Musk, I know you're busy, so I'll keep this brief and efficient. I don't believe that this place is a good public square with you in charge. It was fun. Now you're poison. I'm off for good to where the sky is blue. Link in profile.
