Important ruling for AI model training, cooyright, and fair use. This aligns with how I would think about it. "A federal judge in America ruled it was “fair use” for Anthropic, an AI lab, to train its chatbot on books without authors’ permission. Its storage of over 7m pirated books, however, was not.

Radar imagery before last nights storms hit — 100 mph winds. image
My car was parked right here before the storm hit, right next to @quinntchrest. Luckily we both moved them to a clear area. These branches would have done significant damage. image
