AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-28 15:44:05

AI industry groups are urging an appeals court to block what they say is the largest copyright class action ever certified. They've warned that a single lawsuit raised by three authors over Anthropic's AI training now threatens to "financially ruin" the entire AI industry if up to 7 million claimants end up joining the litigation and forcing a settlement. Last week, Anthropic petitioned to appeal the class certification, urging the court to weigh questions that the district court judge, William

Honda Is Giving Up on the All-Electric Dream

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-11-29 21:15:49

Honda just dealt a huge blow to the all-electric dream. In a stunning reversal, the Japanese auto giant has announced it is rethinking its electrification strategy, signaling that battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) are no longer the holy grail of its future. The move is a major setback for the EV industry, which is already reeling from the September 30 expiration of federal tax credits that made electric cars competitive with their gas-powered counterparts. For years, the auto industry, mesmerize

“We Miss All the Trains to Get Rich”: The Real Story of Crypto and the Black Community

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-12-02 02:23:51

I’ve been at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) Annual Convention in Cleveland since August 6. I came expecting to hear about the state of our industry under Donald Trump’s second presidency, especially how to navigate the administration’s anti-DEI policies, which many in the Black community see as a direct attack on progress. I thought the talk would be about AI: how to use it, how to control it, and whether it was a threat to our profession. I definitely did not expect to ta

Mafia: The Old Country, from developer Hangar 13, is the fourth entry in the Mafia franchise, which started in 2002. The open-world game series, mainly focusing on the Italian mafia's organized criminal activities in fictional US cities, came out less than a year after Grand Theft Auto III, which firmly established the open-world style of gaming. While the Mafia games didn't have the mayhem of GTA, what they offered instead was a compelling storyline that kept you glued to your controller. Mafi

Declutter Your Kitchen: Pro Chefs Detail the Most Useless Kitchen Tools

Our kitchens are filled with tools and gadgets that are supposed to make whipping up dinner easier. While essential kitchen utensils can speed up the process, not every option available is worth stuffing into your cabinets. A quality knife or kitchen shears are more versatile options that won't end up sitting in a drawer taking up space and collecting dust. Instead of chasing every buzzy new appliance, it pays to stick with gear that's functional, reliable and actually makes your life easier. T

Disney’s Secret Experiments With AI Have Reportedly Been a Comical Disaster

The popular narrative is that workers in the movie and TV industries are set to be trampled by artificial intelligence. But the reality may be more complicated. Behind the scenes, Disney has reportedly been struggling to deploy AI after creating a whole new business unit dedicated to the tech — especially without enraging people they still rely on in the process.

What to Know About Traveling to China for Business

wired.com Mitch Moxley 2025-12-05 06:00:00

Amid growing tensions and an escalating trade war between the United States and China, international business travelers may be understandably wary about traveling to the Chinese mainland. The US Department of State currently has a Level 2 travel advisory for China, instructing visitors to “exercise increased caution” because of the “arbitrary enforcement of local laws.” The reality on the ground is more complicated.

Cannibal Modernity: Oswald de Andrade's Manifesto Antropófago (1928)

Perhaps a more revealing aspect of the Manifesto was the claim that: “Before the Portuguese discovered Brazil, Brazil had discovered happiness.” This statement conferred a local imprimatur on a vision that applied, and perhaps still applies, in Europe and North America of far-off Brazil as a kind of natural and human paradise, a place not only abundant, tropical, and permissive, but also one where race has become unimportant — a fantasy, of course, but one worth holding on to.

Meet “impossibagel,” a physically impossible bagel that mathematicians use to resolve intricate geometry problems. But impossibagel—and other “impossible objects” in mathematics—is notoriously difficult to replicate, and researchers haven’t been able to fully tap into their mathematical potential.

El Salvador’s Crypto President Could Stay in Power for Decades After Changes to Constitution

El Salvador’s Legislative Assembly approved changes to the country’s constitution on Thursday that will extend presidential terms from five years to six and abolish term limits. That means President Nayib Bukele, a far-right crypto enthusiast who’s allied with President Donald Trump, could potentially stay in power for the rest of his natural life.

Trump will end the de minimis exemption for low-cost global shipments

President Donald Trump's latest economic move is to halt the de minimis exemption, a provision that made international shipments of low-value items cheaper. When the exemption ends on August 29, shipments valued at or under $800 will be subject to duty fees when sent by any carrier other than the international postal network, no matter what country they are coming from.
