Introduction:
Today’s episode covers five compelling developments shaping the tech landscape. First, a landmark court ruling grants AI models the right to train on copyrighted books under fair use, though some legal complexities remain that could impact the industry’s future. Next, we examine why major tech companies, including Meta, are withdrawing their support from San Francisco Pride, triggering financial struggles for the event and signaling a broader retreat from LGBTQ+ advocacy. Then, we dive into Tesla’s debut of its robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, where early tests reveal significant safety and scalability challenges. Following that, we explore how the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority is preparing to challenge Google’s overwhelming dominance in online search by introducing measures to increase user choice and transparency. Finally, we reveal Meta’s aggressive AI talent acquisition strategy, highlighted by a failed attempt to acquire Runway before making a massive investment in Scale AI.
