Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority Most people reading this know that Google Pixel phones are some of the best you can get if you prioritize fast, reliable software updates. Most of the time, you’ll get a notification on your phone within a few days after an update goes live. And, if you don’t want to wait, it’s very easy to pop into the Settings app to see if you’re on the latest version. If not, a quick tap of the Check for updates button will get you there.

How AI companies are secretly collecting training data from the web (and why it matters)

Getty/the_burtons Like most people, my wife types a search into Google many times each day. We work from home, so our family room doubles as a conference room. Whenever we're in a meeting, and a question about anything comes up, she Googles it. This is the same as it's been for years. But what happens next has changed. Instead of clicking on one of the search result links, she more often than not reads the AI summary. These days, she rarely clicks on any of the sites that provide the original

Thousands of Norwegians were mistakenly told they had won life-changing sums in the country’s Eurojackpot draw after an error by the state-owned gambling operator, Norsk Tipping. In a statement on Friday, Norsk Tipping said “several thousand customers were notified of incorrectly high prizes”. The mistake has prompted the resignation of the company’s chief executive.

Anthropic Shredded Millions of Physical Books to Train its AI

Today in schnozz-smashing on-the-nose metaphors for the AI industry's rapacious destruction of the arts: exactly how Anthropic gathered the data it needed to train its Claude AI model. As Ars Technica reports, the Google-backed startup didn't just crib from millions of copyrighted books, a practice that's ethically and legally fraught on its own.

Microchip added a very cool peripheral called the Configurable Logic Block (CLB) to there new PIC16F13145 microcontroller family. It’s essentially a small FPGA (32 LUTs) that can connect to the internals of the chip. However, they don’t document how to configure it yourself, only referring you to their online configurator tool that submits jobs to an API that places and routes to LUTs.

As I read more about the Columbidae, though, I came to appreciate pigeons for more than just their beauty. Their big appetites are crucial to the health of forests around the globe.

Most animals defecate seeds near the parent tree, but pigeons are long-distance fliers who retain seeds in their guts l

Anthropic's AI Training on Books Is Fair Use, Judge Rules. Authors Are More Worried Than Ever

Claude maker Anthropic's use of copyright-protected books in its AI training process was "exceedingly transformative" and fair use, US senior district judge William Alsup ruled on Monday. It's the first time a judge has decided in favor of an AI company on the issue of fair use, in a significant win for generative AI companies and a blow for creators. Two days later, Meta won part of its fair use case. Fair use is a doctrine that's part of US copyright law. It's a four-part test that, when the

In the past week, big AI companies have — in theory — chalked up two big legal wins. But things are not quite as straightforward as they may seem, and copyright law hasn’t been this exciting since last month’s showdown at the Library of Congress. First, Judge William Alsup ruled it was fair use for Anthropic to train on a series of authors’ books. Then, Judge Vince Chhabria dismissed another group of authors’ complaint against Meta for training on their books. Yet far from settling the legal co
