💡Tip of the day: `curl` has a `--json` option now instead of having to set the content type manually.

$ curl -XPOST "http://localhost:8080/my-api" --json '{"hello": "world"}'

Speaking of which, hot new robots.txt entry just dropped:

OpenAI threatening to leave the EU if they pass legislation requiring them to list their data sources because:
"In addition to the possible business threat, forcing OpenAI to identify its use of copyrighted data would expose the company to potential lawsuits. Generative AI systems like ChatGPT and DALL-E are trained using large amounts of data scraped from the web, much of it copyright protected. When companies disclose these data sources it leaves them open to legal challenges."

Like every other boom tech company, it's just doing labor crimes and theft and claiming you're actually too innovative to be regulated, God.
