Reading this Suno lawsuit and it will be so funny if this company gets taken down because it stole Jason Derulo's classic lyric "Jason Derulo"

Wired found an apparently secret IP address that Perpexity uses to ignore publishers' instructions not to crawl and plagiarize their websites. What a shitty company https://www.wired.com/story/perplexity-is-a-bullshit-machine/

New plagiarism engine Genspark raises $60 million to compete with Perplexity; builds pages telling users the best weapons for killing people, and plans to license content "where it makes sense." 🫠

Interesting: at a briefing with reporters at WWDC24, Craig Federighi says that among they models they will likely add to iOS over time is Google Gemini.

This is a very good preview of what every AI company plans to do (and are often already doing) to the journalism industry

Threads could not have picked a better day to roll out the Tweetdeck view to everyone. I'm seeing news and commentary about the Trump verdict in real time, instead of two days later. Feels like a game-changer

“I have seen the extremely restrictive off-boarding agreement that contains nondisclosure and non-disparagement provisions former OpenAI employees are subject to. It forbids them, for the rest of their lives, from criticizing their former employer. Even acknowledging that the NDA exists is a violation of it.” https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2024/5/17/24158478/openai-departures-sam-altman-employees-chatgpt-release

The thing about declines like the one you’re seeing at X is that they’re irreversible. There is not one case of a social network rebounding after losing this many users in a year https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/fewer-people-using-elon-musks-x-struggles-keep-users-rcna144115
