Book authors made the wrong arguments in Meta AI training case, judge says

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-02-27 06:45:41

Soon after a landmark ruling deemed that when Anthropic copied books to train artificial intelligence models, it was a "transformative" fair use, another judge has arrived at the same conclusion in a case pitting book authors against Meta. But that doesn't necessarily mean the judges are completely in agreement, and that could soon become a problem for not just Meta, but other big AI companies celebrating the pair of wins this week. On Wednesday, Judge Vince Chhabria explained that he sided wi

gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2026-02-27 11:45:45

Dean Fleischer Camp’s summer blockbuster hit Lilo & Stitch has officially been given the Disney green light for a sequel. It makes sense for Disney to make the move official today, on June 26—the date co-opted by the company to be an unofficial Stitch holiday inspired by his experiment code from the film, 626. The first film was a blockbuster hit for the studio, which made $920 million globally after being made for a mere $100 million, which is small considering Disney’s usually oversized budge

Researchers develop a battery cathode material that does it all

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-02-27 16:08:01

Battery electrode materials need to do a lot of things well. They need to be conductors to get charges to and from the ions that shuttle between the electrodes. They also need to have an open structure that allows the ions to move around before they reach a site where they can be stored. The storage of lots of ions also causes materials to expand, creating mechanical stresses that can cause the structure of the electrode material to gradually decay.
