Disney and Universal have filed a lawsuit against Midjourney

Finally. I had been wondering why I hadn't seen a move like this from a big studio and here we are with two at once.

Disney and Universal have filed a lawsuit against Midjourney, alleging that the San Francisco–based AI image generation startup is a “bottomless pit of plagiarism” that generates “endless unauthorized copies” of the studios' work. There are already dozens of copyright lawsuits against AI companies winding through the US court system—including a class action lawsuit visual artists brought against Midjourney in 2023—but this is the first time major Hollywood studios have jumped into the fray.

The general public were terrorised by music labels for illegally downloading music from the internet, but in my opinion, this behaviour is way worse.

Micah Richards Opens Up on Kickin' It

CBS' Champions League show is one of the most entertaining shows around when it comes to football. Great chemistry between all of the pundits and hosts and it never fails to deliver a viral moment each match week.

Micah Richards presents as a larger-than-life character on the show, but found this to be a really interesting chat about his life and approach to the world of football punditry.

Sam & Jony introduce io

I think Sam Altman deserves to share space in the same bucket as Mark Zuckerberg. They are not good guys. Frauds? Maybe.

Zuck hit it big with Facebook and then through acquiring our attention and competitors (or just copying them).

Altman is still trying to make it big. I think his ego is as big as Zuck's and somehow he's found himself in this AI race and is winning. I'm a little sad to see Ive join up with OpenAI but I bet the pull to be the first to make it transparent was too good to pass up.

While I see potential in AI, I have no faith in it being the central repository of knowledge or that it is the answer for anything other than allowing us to spend more of our time creatively rather than productively. I think that's part of the reason that Ive moving in this direction is so odd to me. I'm sure his team at Apple were all about results and pushing boundaries but at the cost of experimentation? I very much doubt that.

Given Humane's AI pin was a complete flop it's hard to see what the future holds in this space but if anyone can try, it's Ive and his team.

Oh and is it just me or does the image that accompanies the post look AI generated?!

People Are Losing Loved Ones to AI-Fueled Spiritual Fantasies

I have used ChatGPT to get me past a few problems, but remain a sceptic. There's not a chance I'd use it for anything personal.
