AI Industry Warns That New Lawsuit Could Destroy It Entirely

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-10 23:10:33

Last month, a federal judge ruled that potentially millions of writers can join a copyright infringement lawsuit brought against the AI startup Anthropic. The suit, filed by three authors, accused the Claude chatbot maker of using pirated books downloaded from "shadow libraries" such as LibGen to train its large language models. Upping the ante through the roof, US district judge William Alsup said that the trio's suit can represent every single writer of the some seven million books that Anthr

KPop Demon Hunters has swiftly become one of the most delightful and empowering surprises of the year in animation. Now that the Netflix and Sony Animation-certified banger is taking over the world, it only makes sense for its catchy music to reach greater heights. Billboard just announced that “Golden” from KPop Demon Hunters’ hit soundtrack has reached #1 on the charts.

Claude is getting a better, if selective, memory. Rather than acting as perfect catalog of everything you've talked about or shared, Anthropic says the AI chatbot now has the ability to reference past chats when asked, so you don't have to re-explain yourself. The feature seems like it could help you pick up a work project after time away, or query Claude for the details of a past research session that you don't quite remember.

Why tail-recursive functions are loops

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-07 06:10:54

One story every computing enthusiast should hear is the lesson of how loops and tail-recursion are equivalent. We like recursive functions because they’re amenable to induction, and we can derive them in a way that is in direct correspondence with the definition of the datatype over which they recur. We like loops because they’re fast and make intuitive sense as long as variables don’t change in too tricky a way. In general, recursive functions are slower than loops because they push stack fram
