AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified

Copyright class actions could financially ruin AI industry, trade groups say.

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.

well…darn

djotwt is fast becoming gross and unfunny

What? omg

Some of djotwt is doing way too much in the space.

When you continue to obsess about somebody who’s been driven off the app, make comments about them, shade them at every opportunity, there’s going to be a point where the optics shift. And it’s going to read as harassment.

I don’t care how it started, what the slights were, real or perceived. It’s just unnecessary. The band and its management are adults in the industry, and are able to determine if a person is a problem or unsafe. Right now, though, some of you look like the problem.

Take that mess to a discord ffs. There was one acct that sounded like they were at the event trying to goad the person into a fight. If this was the tipping point for the manager, I’m not surprised something was said. Intercepting small drama before it becomes big drama is their job.

All of you are typically a fun, positive group and Djo is lucky to have that support. Keep that positive energy throughout the tour and forget about this other person.

Marmalade (2023) Release Date

Has no one realized the Marmalade film FINALLY got a release date or did this trend and I was the last to know?

Felt like a decade without any news. Well November 9th--now we know!

[titans4evr]

Does anyone know what other project is being referenced in this Joe Keery NME article or is this a case of poor wording?

What makes me suspect another unaccounted project is that the article states the interview takes place two weeks after Joe’s Lollapalooza event. So at this time (Aug 2022), Stranger Things S4 has concluded, Marmalade wrapped production in early July, and Fargo plus Cold Storage had been publicly announced. The article references most of these projects. Finalmente L’alba was also announced around this time and is referred to in the line about the fall project. This is where the author fumbles a bit with the description as they describe the Italian indie as one of two “top secret projects” Joe is working on but Finalmente L’alba had press and crew members posted pictures during the production of that film.

And it still doesn’t account for the timestamp in the interview:

Production for the indie took place in Oct-Nov, Fargo began in December, and Cold Storage was scheduled in May 2023. All other projects were completed.

With all known projects and their timelines accounted for, what was Joe Keery filming during this interview in August 2022 that he could not disclose and hid through a zoom meeting?

Going through some weird insomnia of late... might dust this account off and post some stuff. Two weeks of interrupted sleep is making me a mess.

Fargo S5: All 10 Episode listing now up on IMDb

For any Joe Keery fans curious about his upcoming work in Fargo S5, all 10 episodes now have IMDb pages. No descriptions just yet, but there is potential for minor spoilers in terms of cast list per episode. It does appear like he and co-star Jon Hamm will have substantial parts in this storyline.

Out of the several projects Joe has coming out over the next year, this is the one I am most excited about. Noah Hawley is a phenomenal writer, he will not let you down.

Just a little PSA but if you want to retain an element of surprise when Stranger Things finally premieres, I would stay off twitter for the next 48 hrs. The amount of spoilers coming out of the ST4 premiere party is rather significant. Some accounts are posting detailed scenes and they give no shits.

I was just searching up cast photos and came across a big one. So scroll wisely.

IGN S4 Trailer Breakdown with the Duffers !

[dailystrangerthings]

OFFICIAL FULL STRANGER THINGS 4 TRAILER!

[that-thing-that-feeling]

So I watched the panel live, but you can find it online. No exclusive footage so some fans are disappointed but I liked it. Finally we heard Winona talk (briefly) about Joyce, she also mentioned Jonathan twice. I just love her :) and what the Duffer brothers said wasn’t uninteresting either.

Just watched and ooh that’s actually really interesting imo. Both to hear her talk about Joyce and her strength and what’s going on with her in Cali. (for instance, not having friends). And that one of her first thoughts about what Joyce is thinking about in the season is “what’s going on with Jonathan?” That def seems like he’s changed so much and she’s just like ??? or like she doesn’t really know what’s going on w him (and prob doesn’t know he’s smoking pot etc. or going thru it?). Like she notices something is up but doesn’t know what (and has to leave before she finds out)? And interesting how she also said she was over relying on Jonathan in s1, which is def true. Also the bit about her being in survival mode or survival of her whole family was interesting. It’s just great to hear her talk. Anyway for anyone still wanting the link, here it is:

I also think the hint from the Duffers about explaining the upside down (so maybe it’s origins more?) is v interesting. Altho Idg why they’re comparing s4 to GOT lol.

I just heard Winona Ryder may be filming ST4 press material this weekend with the Duffers. Idk, but there's something about her actively being involved in the show's promotional works that makes any new season feel real and just around the corner. This officially feels like the home stretch to me.

Despite how dormant this blog has been, I'm actually quite excited about ST4. I think breaking up the format was a good call and the trailers have this sharp 'first season' look to them.' I'm liking what I see so far.

I may do some ST meta or post some thoughts on the upcoming season. I have the downtime right now, but that may be short-lived, so we'll see.
