Clegg’s argument is that unless AI companies are allowed to train their models on copyrighted content, they won’t be able to profit from replacing the copyrighted content with their AI tools. If I can’t have access to Clegg’s mansion any time I want, how am I supposed to rent it out as an […]

We have an extraordinary privilege, as travellers on two wheels, to visit places away from the crowds, where we can see the “real” country, quietly and with intimacy. Maybe it is only when we accidentally end up in a “destination” tourist hotspot, like I have tonight in Santillana del Mar, we […]
