This is huge! The judge found that training generative AI on copyrighted material does not constitute fair use, at least in this case. This could upend the entire AI industry.
Thomson Reuters has won the first major AI copyright case in the US. The decision has big implications for the battle between generative AI companies and rightsholders.

I wish we lived in an age with better oligarchs. The Gilded Age robber barons built universities and libraries and supported the arts and science. The Medici family funded Michelangelo, da Vinci, and Raphael. Even Bill Gates almost wiped out malaria. And now we're stuck with Elon, Zuck, and Bezos.

There's a misconception that generative AI will democratize filmmaking. No, AI will make big tech companies the gatekeepers of filmmaking. They'll control the models and the servers on which everything is rendered.

The tech billionaires like Elon, Zuck, and Bezos are counting on one of two things:
1. America remains an oligarchy and never returns to being a democracy.
