Uh, look, pledging that the US will do whatever it takes to retain its global lead in artificial intelligence, President Trump signed three executive orders yesterday to speed up development uh in the field. The ...

What does putting all of these storefronts onto one copyright or design patent suit do. Like what is the benefit that plaintiffs get by throwing them all onto one form, whether it's called schedule A or exhibit A or whatever it is. The reason why you want to sue a thousand people together instead of filing a thousand different lawsuits is because it saves you money.Classic. It saves you money and perhaps time and effort, right. But money is the big one.You're supposed to pay a fee of about $400 for a federa ...

It's already the heat of summer, and the news keeps coming. Nilay, David, and Jake start the show with a bunch of tech news, including the latest on Tesla's robotaxi launch, some updates on the Trump Phone, new devices from Fairphone and Unihertz, and Meta's shifting strategy for face computers. After that, The Verge's Adi Roberston joins the show to talk about two important AI lawsuits that were both decided this week — one involving Anthropic and the other involving Meta — and what this particular battle ...

Core Viewpoint - Meta achieved a significant legal victory as a federal judge dismissed most of a lawsuit from authors claiming that Meta used their copyrighted works to train its AI models, primarily due to the plaintiffs' failure to present a strong case [1][3]. Legal Ruling Details - The ruling indicated that Meta utilized LibGen, a repository of pirated books, to train its large language models, including Llama, which raised concerns among authors and publishers about copyright infringement [2]. - Judge Vince Chhabria clarified that the ruling does not imply that Meta's actions are lawful, but rather that the plaintiffs did not effectively argue their case [3]. - The judge noted that the plaintiffs failed to substantiate claims regarding potential market harm caused by AI-generated content, which could undermine the value of human-created works [3][4]. Implications for AI and Copyright - Chhabria warned that generative AI could inundate the market with content, produced much faster and with less creativity than human creators, potentially diminishing the incentive for traditional creation [4]. - The ruling aligns with a broader trend, as another federal judge recently ruled in favor of AI startup Anthropic, stating that its use of copyrighted materials was "exceedingly transformative" and fell under fair use [6]. Industry Context - The legal landscape is increasingly contentious, with numerous lawsuits from various creators against major AI companies, asserting that the training of AI models on copyrighted works without permission infringes on their rights [7][8]. - The ongoing legal battles highlight the tension between the rights of creators and the claims of AI companies that their training practices are protected under fair use [8].

I wrote my first book when I was 18. The publisher in China picked it up and somehow it became a hit. The sudden fame was quite over overwhelming as were the book royalties that I was getting paid.And then at a book signing, I was just sitting at a desk scribbling my name on book after book, thanking everyone who had kindly waited in line. And a guy came up. He was wearing those orange socks so bright that they could blind you.And he very cheerfully took out a book for me to sign. Except it wasn't my book. ...

Right now, what we're seeing is on steroids. You are working for AI and so do I because we're producing content and that content is going to be eaten by a machine and used to produce new stuff. You know that copyright is dead.It's a notion from 1710 and it's dead overnight. There is no copyright. It's done.My expectation of you is that each and every one of you and it doesn't matter what you do is going to replace 100% of what you do with automation. ...
