"It is rare for a country to seek the consent of writers, and Singapore may have to settle for lower-quality data to train its LLM, if there is major resistance.
When the Singaporean government asked local writers if they would agree to having their work used to train a large language model, it probably did not expect the country’s tiny literary community to react so fiercely"

"Police in Uttar Pradesh’s Shamli have filed cases against journalists...over tweets regarding the death of Firoz Qureshi, who was allegedly beaten to death by a mob... The police have invoked BNS Section 196 (Promoting enmity between different groups...) and Section 353 (Statements conducing to public mischief)..."

"So successful has white supremacist patriarchy been at convincing white women especially that they’re lucky to live in the U.S. and not Saudi Arabia or Iran, that so many white women did not pay enough attention to the theocracy that white supremacy was building right here at home. It was being built by white men who look like their fathers, brothers, husbands, and sons, not the scary brown Muslim men with beards, right?"

"they curtly informed my sister and me that our names weren't on the voter list so we couldn't cast our votes.
We insisted this couldn't be right since we had double-checked the Election Commission of India (ECI) website... After adamantly demanding to see the voter lists ourselves, they begrudgingly showed us one, seemingly concealing the other... we didn't back down and persisted until they finally revealed the second list. Our names were right there"
