Anthropic has partly resolved a legal disagreement that saw the AI startup draw the ire of the music industry. In October 2023, a group of music publishers, including Universal Music and ABKCO, filed a copyright infringement complaint against Anthropic.

The new year started out with the worst kind of bang. In the early hours of January 1, an assailant exploded a Cybertruck in front of Trump Hotel in Las Vegas, using firework mortars and gas canisters.

Of course, it’s getting harder to say what’s not got some bit of AI or deep learning in it. AI is seeping into everything, including scientific and technological discovery, with impacts that we didn’t expect. The tendencies of generative AI to hallucinate and defy explanation are already turning out to be a powerful fuel f
