Artists are lawyering up against AI slop, and some are even winning
Artists whose work has been co-opted by AI are taking to court. | Image: Alex Parkin / The Verge When The Atlantic published a searchable dataset of works used to train AI, Kirk Wallace Johnson, like a lot of artists, looked for his name out of curiosity. And, like a lot of artists, he found it. Essentially, his books, like The Feather Thief and The Fishermen and the Dragon - nonfiction tomes that he spent "five to six years researching, writing, and investigating" - had been pirated and fed to a chatbot. He says he felt a "cocktail" of emotions: "anger over the brazenness of the theft, worry over what this means for writers, and a healthy thirst for revenge on these massive corporations that have become galactically wealthy" using his … Read the full story at The Verge.
Avoiding Entity Key Drift in a Data Lake: Step 1, Normalization
This is the opening piece of a four-part deep dive series, on building a high-frequency streaming pipeline against a live public API. The data source is openSenseMap, a citizen-science IoT network used for climate research, mostly in Germany. A live public API is what makes it useful: it produces data-quality problems and edge cases that clean sample datasets never show. This article focuses on step-1: Normalization, later pieces cover matching algorithms, adaptive polling and noise filtering, and a vendor-agnostic Apache Iceberg pipeline with Terraform that runs locally in Docker and moves to AWS or GCP with minimal change. The post Avoiding Entity Key Drift in a Data Lake: Step 1, Normalization appeared first on Towards Data Science.

We’re running out of reasons to ignore AI safety
Earlier this month, OpenAI gave several of its AI models a task: complete a test designed to measure their cybersecurity capabilities. It put the systems in a sandboxed environment without an internet connection and set them off to work. What happened next is almost laughably silly - but also, as Adam Gleave, cofounder and CEO of AI safety organization FAR.AI, put it, "a visceral example of how misaligned AI could cause harm." According to OpenAI, the models escaped the sandbox meant to contain them, moved through the company's internal systems, found a route to the internet, and then started looking for a way into Hugging Face. And why was … Read the full story at The Verge.
Xbox outage shouldn’t have affected games on disc, Microsoft confirms
After the recent Xbox outage even blocked people from playing offline disc-based console games, Microsoft is trying to soothe concerns that you don't truly own anything under Xbox's license system. In a statement to The Verge, Xbox technology chief Scott Van Vliet says that while physical game discs are subject to licensing inspections, that shouldn't have prevented them from working during this week's outage, or while consoles are offline. "We're looking into reports that some players were unable to access games using discs as expected during the service interruption. Disc-based entitlement checks should not prevent players from accessing … Read the full story at The Verge.
