Lawyers Just Discovered Something About Meta's AI That Could Cost Zuckerberg Untold Billions of Dollars

A legal expert found that Meta's AI is able to spit out entire portions of books verbatim — and if he's right, it could be seriously bad news for the company and its CEO Mark Zuckerberg. First, a quick primer. All the AI that's commercially buzzy at the moment, like OpenAI's ChatGPT or Meta's Llama, is trained by feeding in huge amounts of data.

Finally, after 15 years, we have a new 2026 Nissan Leaf coming. As befits the “truckification” of global car markets, it’s no longer a compact hatchback. Now it’s a compact SUV—or, more accurately, a crossover utility vehicle built on passenger-vehicle underpinnings. The new Leaf will offer a range of up to 303 miles, Nissan says, from a 75-kilowatt-hour battery pack powering a 160-kilowatt (214-horsepower) motor that produces 261 pound-feet (354 newton-meters) of torque.

Sycophancy can make AI chatbots respond in a way that’s overly agreeable or flattering. And while having a digital hype person might not seem like a dangerous thing, it is actually a tactic used by tech companies to keep users talking with their bots and returning to their platforms.

You’d assume that the latest game from the studio that made Little Nightmares 2 is going to be a bit spooky and dark, and Section 9’s End of Abyss is that. However, it's also a little easier to describe and explain: an atmospheric sci-fi shooter with Metroidvania-style exploration.
