OpenAI Loses Key Discovery Battle as It Cedes Ground to Authors in AI Lawsuits
The issue has been a major battleground in discovery. OpenAI could be on the hook for hundreds of millions, if not billions, of dollars if it was aware it was infringing on copyrighted material.

I do appreciate that they've completely dropped the pretense.

As the Trump org systematically removes data and information it doesn’t like from the public domain, it seems logical to me that we all assess with urgency the safety and permanence of digital data. We must not let print media die out either as that is a much harder task for them to find and erase.

Game studios are just going to have to embrace new technology and make all their weapons and items tradeable on the blockchain if they want to survive into 2023.

Today is the day to tell a strange story.
The long version we'll tell later, but the short version is this. In an attic, in his late great-uncle's house, @jon.inkle.co found a locked trunk. It took twenty years to open. Last summer he did.
Inside was a wiring diagram, and a stack of books.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.
