Social media platform Reddit has sued the artificial intelligence company Anthropic, alleging that it is illegally “scraping” the comments of Reddit users to train its chatbot Claude. Reddit claims that Anthropic has used automated bots to access Reddit’s content despite being asked not to do so. Anthropic didn’t immediately return a request for comment Wednesday.

A fire that engulfed a mansion at Louisiana’s Nottoway Plantation, destroying one of the largest remaining pre-Civil War houses in the Deep South where scores of enslaved Africans labored, has sparked mass jubilation and consternation. Viral video of the combusted landmark inspired memes and humorous social media posts, with many viewing the blaze as centuries-deferred vengeance for enslaved ancestors. Others, however, expressed sadness at the loss of a historic resort where weddings and other celebratory events were welcomed. Preservationists say the jubilant reactions to the charred mansion reflect the trauma and anger many people, especially Black Americans, still carry over the history and legacy of chattel slavery in the United States.
