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.

Thanks @halsparks.com This thing is a semantic problem. I like introducing bias into our explanations. In most reporting, bias and censorship are being used interchangeably. I also need to make a diagram to help explain this!

It seems so dumb that there is a strike zone box on TV for everyone to see except the home plate umpire, right? This article talks about the challenges of implementing an automated system to call balls and strikes. Automating anything is deceptively hard to do! www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/...

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.

In this case I used it to quickly get myself up to speed. I then used that knowledge to teach and help my son get through the homework. I think that specialized AI tutors are able to walk you through things like this while not giving the answer.

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.

Headline: Government is taking your money. Read article: Lobbying and money interests influencing government results in you paying more. The ease in how the story moves from money interest doing stuff to red tape and gov bad is at the core of the problem. It focuses the effort in the wrong place.

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.

For anyone who downloaded their twitter - X data I distilled the tweet text from a couple accounts we support, uploaded to a ChatGPT session, probed it with questions to analyze language and patterns. It wasn't too hard to do and was very insightful. Message me if interested in learning how.

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...
