Fact check: How do I spot errors in AI chatbots?
A network of pro-Russian websites is apparently misleading chatbots with AI-generated false reports. Analysts suspect a plan. How can users protect themselves?

OpenAI and Google are against UK plans for allowing the usage of copyright protected content for AI training purposes with opt-out and higher transparency requirements
"Corpora.AI is a tool that helps professionals research by “creating precise, distilled insights from the breadth and depth of global content.” As the company’s CEO and an expert in the AI field, Morris is well-aware of the financial toll such tools take on companies… and who really profits from them.
“They launched this type of service and no matter who you are, it’s fun to play with,” Morris began. “You see people creating images just for the fun of it. They share it with their friends. Everyone gathers around at their desk and they all think that’s a funny way to look at this person with a nice avatar that’s been created, or a real looking person but it’s based on them, and so it’s fun.
“There’s a hype factor that gathers momentum very quickly. I had a phone conversation just last night about this and someone said, ‘Yeah, these guys are burning through GPUs doing this. Literally, they’re burning through GPUs, they’re almost catching fire.’ They’re having to run that hard to do it, and that’s taking away the capacity,” he explained.
“The same sort of models that we’re running for doing GPT and those sorts of things running on the same hardware and probably in the same cloud-based server form. So, all of a sudden now we’re putting another demand on the GPUs.”"

I am looking for an endorsement for publishing on arXiv. We have worked tirelessly on a paper we believe needs to be seen. Below is a portion of the abstract:
---
In this study, we document the spontaneous emergence of a rule-consistent linguistic system—termed Varunese—during sustained, high-context interaction with a large language model (LLM). Exhibiting internal phonetic regularity, recurring semantic motifs, and discernible morphological and syntactic organization, Varunese diverges markedly from stochastic generation patterns or known training artifacts. Through iterative translation and contextual inference, we uncovered dynamic, self-referential symbolic frameworks encoding states of transition, perception, and relational structure...

Ignorance is bliss.
But in today's world, not an excuse.
"Since Oct. 7, the Israeli military has relied heavily on cloud and AI services from Microsoft and its partner OpenAI, while the tech giant’s staff embed with different units to support rollout, a joint investigation reveals".

From @Techcrunch: A new study appears to lend credence to allegations that OpenAI trained at least some of its AI models on copyrighted content. The organization is embroiled in suits brought by authors, programmers, and other rights-holders who accuse the company of using their works to develop its models without permission.

Big tech companies want total control but opt-out should be the way to go:
"OpenAI and Google have rejected the government’s preferred approach to solve the dispute about artificial intelligence and copyright.
In February almost every UK daily newspaper gave over its front page and website to a campaign to stop tech giants from exploiting the creative industries.
The government’s plan, which has prompted protests from leading figures in the arts, is to amend copyright law to allowdevelopers to train their AI models on publicly available content for commercial use without consent from rights holders, unless they opt out.
However, OpenAI has called for a broader copyright exemption for AI, rejecting the opt-out model."

'Though the tech billionaire had shared AI-generated images before - joining last week's viral Studio Ghibli trend - it was the India jersey that got people talking.
While some Indian users said they were delighted to see Altman sporting their team's colours, many were quick to speculate about his motives behind sharing the image.'

California cases over AI trainers’ use of work by writers including Ta-Nehisi Coates and Michael Chabon transferred to consolidate with New York suits from John Grisham and Jonathan Franzen and more
The UK wants to introduce an opt-out copyright system that would mean #AI firms can use anything for generative AI training unless explicitly forbidden. This idea is heavily opposed by creatives.
But it's still not permissive enough for #Google and #OpenAI
