This is an interesting article written from the perspective of Intelectual Property holders in the music industry who are analyzing the case between Reuters (owns Westlaw) and Ross (company who used Westlaw to train an AI). Fair Use is very complex. www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/using-copyri...
musicbusinessworldwide.com
Using copyrighted content to train AI without permission is not ‘fair use’, US court rules in Thomson Reuters case - Music Business Worldwide
However, the ruling might not apply to the music industry’s lawsuits against generative AI developers.

Musk used Paypal as a launch vehicle for SpaceX and Tesla. Paypal makes $ from transaction fees. I think Musk is looking to position himself to get contracts for becoming the govt's payment system. Taking a transaction fee off every gov transaction is huge money. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
msnbc.com
Opinion | There are several reasons Musk wants to control Treasury payments. None of them are good.
An unelected and unaccountable billionaire wants to dictate what working families can and cannot afford.

Epic CEO Tim Sweeney says tech leaders are 'pretending to be Republicans' to gain favor with Trump, skirt antitrust laws, and ultimately 'rip off consumers and crush competitors'
The Trump administration is expected to be softer on antitrust cases, which as we know are one of Sweeney's major pursuits.

AI for the win! my son needed help with 8th grade algebra homework. I couldn't remember how to distribute the powers. Phone pic of his screen, upload to ChatGPT, asked it to explain how to solve the problem. It read the image and gave me instructions for how to solve and the right answer.

Please, please, please wait for things to happen before predicting outcomes. Spend energy telling people not paying attention the plan. 25% Tariffs. Then wait to connect actual outcomes to what they actually do. Everything in between works against the goal.

When I was a kid, we would go to the EAA fly-in at Oshkosh every year with flight line access. One year they had the Concord and an SR71 parked nose to nose on the tarmac. Both flew each day in the airshow. I wish I could find a picture! Badass Plane! getpocket.com/explore/item...

This is a really cool feature in the new Unreal Engine release. Audio is translated to facial animation and then can run real time. The mouth movements are really good. Facial expressions are there too, but more work needs to be done there. #UE5 www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ku2...

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me. I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc
