Buzzy tech firm OpenAI's hit with a lawsuit for data theft? Say it ain't so! The charges allege that their ChatGPT AI system, built on a beastly amount of web-scraped data, is a privacy and copyright nightmare.
Their 'ask forgiveness, not permission' approach to data sourcing may have snagged everything from Wikipedia to your saucy Twitter threads. It's a vast, unconsented digital harvest, potentially featuring your own online scribbles.
This massive data grab, argues the lawsuit, constitutes theft. Will it hold up in court? That's the million-dollar question.
The web's a wild frontier of rights and regulations, and you often give up ownership when posting content. The outcome? To be determined…
Another day, another AI funding round.
This time, it's for AI startup Inflection AI. They just nabbed $1.3B from big names like Microsoft and Bill Gates.
So what're they going to build with it? The plan is to create a 'Personal AI for everyone'. Sounds pretty huge, right?
For anyone taking notes, this round puts Inflection AI's total valuation about $4B.
CEO Mustafa Suleyman plans to use the cash to fuel the development of Pi, a friendly AI assistant.
Despite not beating GPT-4 in coding, Inflection's AI model is partnering with Nvidia and CoreWeave to create a huge AI training cluster.
Inflection now ranks as the second-most-funded generative AI startup, second only to OpenAI.
It looks like Steam is hitting pause on games using AI art...
How do we know? A Reddit post from a Valve developer has been making the rounds, saying that the company rejected his game due to AI-produced art assets.
According to Valve, the legal ownership of AI-generated art is still murky territory. As a result, products with these assets can't ship unless full rights are confirmed.
This could be a game-changing (pun intended) move in the AI and video game industry. Some devs and artists are cheering, while others think it's fighting the inevitable.
The question remains: can all AI assets be accurately spotted? No one can say quite yet, so it looks like we'll have to all sit back and see how it plays out.
