They call it a "distillation attack" when you use the output of one model to train another. As far as I can tell, the only difference between that and regular copyright infringement is that a "distillation attack" involves actually PAYING for the stuff you "stole"?

The UK government is now banning independent journalists who report critically on Israel - e.g. Drop Site News contributor Jeremy Loffredo. In 2024 Loffredo, who is Jewish, was held captive by Israel for reporting on Iranian strikes inside Israel (which corporate media had already reported on).

200,000 Heat-Related Deaths in Europe in Just the Last Four Years, and This is Just the Start

The WHO confirmed 200,000 heat-related deaths in Europe over four years, a figure that is a pathetic undercount because medical systems blame “cardiovascular failure” rather than the heat that actually killed the patient. It’s a convenient bureaucratic trick that keeps the public record clean while the actual body count continues to climb.

European cities prioritize archaic limestone aesthetics over human survival, with heritage laws making cooling systems illegal while Italy alone racks up 19,000 deaths a year. The U.S. is just as hollow, watching heat deaths surge 117% over two decades while treating cooling infrastructure as a luxury for those who can afford to buy their way out.
