Landmark AI Copyright Win – Fair Use Anthropic has scored a major victory in an ongoing legal battle over artificial intelligence models and copyright, one that may reverberate across the dozens of other AI copyright lawsuits winding through the legal system in the United States. A court has determined that it was legal for Anthropic […]
A nice salute to the fallen, which not only honors their sacrifice but recalls what they sacrificed for, in a way that serves as a reminder — and a rebuke if needed — as well as a tribute. It’s all well and good to say “Freedom isn’t free,” but this is a good day not […]
As you see, the pushmi-pullyu illustrated by Dr. Dolittle author Hugh Lofting didn’t look much like two llamas sewn together, and the Doctor, seen at the right, looked more like W.C. Fields than Rex Harrison, but Dab Dab the Duck asked the relevant question, which people around the world have been asking about the pushmi-pullyu […]
Jen Sorensen gets more out of four panels than anyone else in the business, and this gut-clencher is as accurate a portrait of the moment as you’re likely to see.Life does go on. Life has to go on. But the veneer of normalcy is wearing thin. At the dog park, we talk about an outbreak […]
Tom Toles played on Trump’s call for Russia to hack into Hillary Clinton’s computer, a 2016 campaign ruckus that began when it turned out she’d set up a computer at home on which she did some State Department work that should have been confined to government servers.Although it was a private server and not just […]
I’m pretty well done with talking about the State of the Union Address, and Horsey sums it up fairly well. Commentators have referred to it as more of a campaign speech than anything addressing the state of the union or proposing any major policies, or at least any new ones.It did likely help Trump rally […]
Martyn Turner gets to lead off today on the basis of simplicity: Trump is helping Putin to raise the flag of Russia over Ukraine. Extra points for using a symbol of American heroism to mark a moment of American betrayal.You would think, if the Trump administration were going to advocate giving Russia a slice of […]
Let’s start by acknowledging the disconnect. As Ratt points out, we’re in Looking Glass Land, where everything is reversed, including the New Testament. The good thing is, we’re not dealing with people who say one thing and do the opposite. They say the opposite and that’s exactly what they do.In the words of the late […]
Jen Sorensen notes the people who may not have expected that what they were promised was going to happen. Some of them voted for Trump, some of them didn’t vote at all, some even voted for Harris but considered it a formality, little expecting, even if “their side” lost, the changes that are suddenly arriving.Paresh […]
Tough decision where to start today, but I think Ben Jennings has the best viewpoint, which is shame on the process and shame on those who utilize it.But it’s not a “both sides” argument, because, even in Jennings’ parallel construction, Biden looks downcast and Trump appears arrogant. Granted, part of that could be because Trump […]
There’s been a lot of chatter down in the Antipodes about the high cost of housing, and so it makes sense that Matt Golding would go international with this example of an American couple who has found a place to live rent-free. It might take you a moment to examine where they’re living to get […]
Harley Schwadron speaks for me, because there is a flood of topics being cartooned about at the moment and my desperation is in trying to cover the ones that won’t keep, combined with the prospects of a drought if I cover them all today and nothing surfaces for tomorrow.My desperation, though, is never quiet. Thoreau […]
It’s only fair to point out that this Mike Lester (AMS) cartoon ran a few days before Biden suddenly racked up some significant gains in the all-important swing states that could decide the 2024 Presidential Election.If polls determined elections, Hillary Clinton would have won in 2016. Tracking polls is part of horserace coverage, and is […]
Ann Telnaes was out of the gate quickly as the indictments were announced, largely because she’d been following the story since it began and was able to repurpose an Oldie-but-Goodie. This is not to say that she anticipated the co-conspirators: Of these, only Giuliani was indicted.But she echoes a commentary also advanced by Adam Zyglis […]
We’ll start out with some good news, via Steve Brodner: Not only did the Kellogg’s workers ratify a new contract, but it seems like they got pretty much what they wanted and that management — who had threatened to replace them with scabs — got pretty much not a whole lot except several months of […]
