A federal district court just ruled that training #AI tools on copyrighted texts is fair use.
techcrunch.com/2026/07/20/anth…
#Anthropic is in the clear for training #Claude on millions of books without permission or payment. However, it's liable for obtaining many of those books illegally, and its settlement of those claims (about $3k/title) was approved by the court.
So far this decision only applies in the Northern District of California. But it breaks the ice and will (as lawyers say) be "persuasive but not binding" in other districts.

Anthropic's landmark $1.5B copyright settlement is approved | TechCrunch
The final approval settles one case, but it doesn't resolve the broader issue of using copyrighted works to train AI models.Kirsten Korosec (TechCrunch)
RE: mastodon.online/@Pepijn/116953…
I'm into model trains. It's a hobby that attracts people who like to explore. If for some individuals tinkering with LLM fits into that I kinda get their interest.
Over the last half year small companies and hobbyist alike started blatantly sharing LLM generated images though. And it truly puzzles me: in a hobby based around physically modelling a small version of the real world, what's the point?!?
Is your hobby being contaminated by #AI slop as well?

«KI im Betriebssystem-Kern — Wie sich die Kontrolle über das Smartphone verschiebt:
KI wandert 2026 tief in den Systemkern von iPhone und Android. Fachleute warnen vor neuen Risiken und schwindender Nutzerkontrolle. Wem gehört unser Handy?»
Ich bin dem sehr kritisch gegenüber, da sehr wahrscheinlich deren Datensammelwut und Beeinflussung naiv vertrauen werden - siehe China.

Hack Reveals Suno AI Music Generator Scraped YouTube, Deezer, and Genius 404media.co/hack-reveals-suno-…
'The AI music generation tool Suno scraped millions of songs and lyrics from YouTube Music, Deezer, and Genius, as well as from the stock music libraries Pond5, Jamendo, Freesound, the International Music Score Library Project, and podcasts via RSS feeds, according to a hacker who breached the company and shared data about Suno’s training libraries with 404 Media. The hacker was also able to access user information for hundreds of thousands of Suno’s customers, as well as Stripe payment information, they said.'

'A group of major publishers have filed a lawsuit against Google, accusing the company of illegally using millions of copyrighted books to help build its Gemini artificial intelligence models, in “one of the most prolific infringements of copyrighted materials in history”.
The case, filed in federal court in New York, has been brought by three publishers – Hachette Book Group, Cengage Learning, and Elsevier – and bestselling American author Scott Turow.'

In case this has eluded you, Meta's natural gas powered $13 billion AI data centre in Sturgeon Country north of Edmonton uses up nearly as much power each day as the entire city of Calgary (1.1B GW) or Edmonton (1.2B GW).
Plus, it uses up more water a day than all of Sturgeon County.

This is the fear. Hospital systems and administrators will ruthlessly cut costs even if it puts patients in jeopardy. Its worse when a private equity takes over.
And you bet they will lean on AI to try to cut costs and be willing to eat the occasional suit (or settle under an NDA which happens A LOT)
This is a system that made OVER 1.5 billion in revenue over expenses in 2024.

Hver gang der kommer en ny sprogmodel, går debatten i gang: hvem er nu bedst? Men jo mere jeg arbejder med AI i praksis, jo mere tvivler jeg på, at det er det rigtige spørgsmål.
Kort sagt: Excel er ikke bedre end PowerPoint. Måske skal vi holde op med at kåre en vinder blandt sprogmodeller og i stedet spørge, hvilken der passer til opgaven.
Jeg har skrevet et indlæg på min blog om, hvorfor "den bedste AI" måske slet ikke findes:

Designers talk a big game about "empathy" for users. But empathy without respect is nothing more than pity.
And nowhere is the lack of respect more apparent than in how LLMs have been productized and adopted. The "human in the loop" excuse pushes consequences down onto scrupulous employees and ultimately onto the very users on whom we claim to be centered.
The consequences of disrespectful software are now becoming apparent across tech.

This is something I've suspected from the early days of the AI boom. If this stuff was as good as they claim, it would be a closely guarded industrial secret. The fact they're so eager to get us to use it tells me it's primary value isn't what it can do, but what it can be sold for. Or, as Cory says, "Go Meta!".
If you think about it, this is coming from a group of people who famously fetishize disruption. The fact that they aren't using their own #AI to disrupt & take over the sectors they are so keen to sell their product to is a huge red flag.

Google rikkoi internetin sanattoman sopimuksen tekoälyn luomilla vastauksillaan ja vei verkkosivustojen julkaisijoilta tärkeimmän syyn olla Googlen hakukoneessa mukana - eli hakukoneesta tulevat käyttäjät
Google ei myöskään anna sivustojen olla mukana perinteisissä hakutuloksissa, mutta kieltäytyä sisältönsä käytöstä tekoälyn koulutukseen.
Nyt osa isoimmista verkkosivustoista harkitsee temppua, joka oliis ollut täysin mahdoton vielä muutamia vuosia sitten: ne aikovat poistoa kokonaan Googlesta.
