Federal judge William Alsup ruled that it was legal for Anthropic to train its AI models on published books without the authors’ permission. This marks the first time that the courts have given credence to AI companies’ claim that fair use doctrine can absolve AI companies from fault when they use copyrighted materials to train large language models (LLMs). This decision comes as a blow to authors, artists, and publishers who have brought dozens of lawsuits against companies like OpenAI, Meta, Midjourney, Google, and more. While the ruling is not a guarantee that other judges will follow Judge Alsup’s lead,…
CNN — Seventy-five years ago this week, more than 135,000 North Korean troops invaded South Korea, starting a war that cost millions of lives and left scars that linger to this day. Yet, the Korean War has been forever overshadowed by World War II, a much larger conflict that ended less than five years earlier. Even the US Army refers to Korea as “the Forgotten War” – despite more than 36,000 American lives lost. Sixteen nations, including the United States, sent combat troops in aid of South Korea under the United Nations Command. Chinese troops intervened on the North Korean…

CNN — It appears in satellite pictures like great blotches of blue and green ink; swirling, spreading, sinking into parchment paper. In Australia’s arid center, those blotches represent a new inland sea, born from a deluge that has traveled hundreds of miles through the veins of a giant, parched continent. The rare event is now breathing life into the desert, bringing mammals, birds and tourists to the heart of the Australian outback. “Imponderable” is how ecologist Richard Kingsford of the University of New South Wales describes the possibilities for scientific discovery offered by the rise of this sudden oasis in…
DENVER (AP) — It’s often said music is the universal language of humanity. Now a 12-year-old Houston boy is putting that to the test among an unlikely audience — man’s best friend. Yuvi Agarwal started playing keyboard when he was 4 and several years ago noticed his playing soothed his family’s restless golden doodle, Bozo. He grew curious if it also could help stressed homeless animals. With help from his parents, who both have backgrounds in marketing, he founded the nonprofit Wild Tunes in 2023 to recruit musicians to play in animal shelters. So far he has enlisted about 100…

US President Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff has hit out at the leak of classified US intelligence that suggested damage done by Saturday’s US strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites was limited, calling the sources “treasonous” in an interview with Fox News Tuesday night. Seven people briefed on an early US intelligence assessment told CNN that Iran’s nuclear program had only been set back a few months by the US attack, despite the use of 14 huge “bunker buster” bombs in the raid. US analysis of the damage to the sites and the impact of the strikes on…
