I don't want to hear that they're "considering" it, actually do it.

Giving answers on that is exactly what this community is for.

If they're thinking of making "style" something that can be copyrighted, then the effects on AI will be trivial compared to the general creative apocalypse as giant corporations lock everything down and go to war with each other.

What privacy? The Fediverse runs on an open protocol. Everything you say and do is transmitted to the world. If you're posting here your data isn't being bought and sold by big tech, it's being given to them.

This isn't to say that the Fediverse is a bad place or anything, just pointing out one of the tradeoffs in how it works. It's not under any one organization's control but there's consequences from that.

Aha! You were the hacker known as "Four Chan"!

Death to extremists!

Canada and Mexico are part of North America and are not drifting away. The opposite.

Ironically, Trump might. Though I have yet to see much sign.

Switching to an open federated protocol is basically the worst idea for preventing AI from training on your content, but if it makes people feel better then sure I guess.

Regardless of how you feel about it, you've now discovered something very important; your wife is the sort of person who would lie to you about something very important. I'd recommend contacting a lawyer to make sure that you're ready to protect your interests just in case some kind of escalation happens. Her behaviour hasn't changed now, while she thinks you don't know, but who knows what could happen if she finds out you do?

I'm not saying you should do anything vindictive preemptively, just things like making sure the titles for your property are properly registered or your pension plan is fully in your name, that sort of thing.

I thought I was used to "WTF moments" when it came to America's sudden descent into madness, but here's one I wasn't prepared for. WTF?

That's not really true, though. That region has undergone numerous cycles of fragmentation and reunification over that period of time, with different cultures and different dynasties taking over from each other.
