⚖️ Meta wins in court - authors lose to “fair use”

🎓 Dropout to $1B AI CEO and why college might be dead

Meta Raids OpenAI’s Talent Pool 😮‍💨

Meta just hired three top OpenAI researchers, even though Sam Altman teased Zuckerberg for throwing money at talent like confetti.

🚨 Breaking News:
Meta poached Lucas Beyer, Alexander Kolesnikov, and Xiaohua Zhai from OpenAI to join its superintelligence team. Big brain heist!

⚡ Wire Simplified:

• Zuck’s offering over $100 million to top AI researchers (yes, you read that right)

• He’s personally WhatsApping folks and throwing dinner parties to woo them

• The latest hires built OpenAI’s Zurich office, which is a big deal

• Some top talent still saying “nah,” but Meta’s definitely scoring points

• Altman says none of the best people have left... yet

✔️ Straight to the Point:
Meta’s AI hiring looks more like celebrity recruiting. Zuck’s charm and billions are working, but not on everyone.

Meta Wins in Copyright Court Battle ⚖️📚

Meta just beat 13 authors, including Sarah Silverman, in court over training AI on books. Judge called it fair use.

🚨 Breaking News:
A federal judge ruled Meta’s AI training on copyrighted books is legal in this case. A win, but not total.

⚡ Wire Simplified:

• The authors claimed Meta used their books without permission

• Judge said Meta’s use was “transformative,” not straight-up copying

• The authors didn’t show how it hurt their book sales

• This doesn’t mean all AI training is now legal

• Each case still depends on details like market harm and content use

✔️ Straight to the Point:
Meta wins this round, but copyright fights over AI are just getting warmed up. Next up: movies, news, and more lawsuits.

Bernie Wants a 4-Day Workweek, Thanks to AI 🧓🏽🖥️

Senator Bernie Sanders told Joe Rogan that if AI boosts productivity, workers should get shorter workweeks, not pink slips.

🚨 Breaking News:
Bernie says tech CEOs shouldn’t hoard AI benefits. Instead, let workers enjoy 32-hour weeks without losing pay. Sounds dreamy, huh?

⚡ Wire Simplified:

• He argues AI boosts should help workers, not just make CEOs richer

• Wants a 4-day, 32-hour week with same pay

• Says it’s already working in places like the UK and Japan

• Microsoft Japan saw a 40% boost in productivity from 4-day trials

• His message: Let tech give us time back, not just take jobs

✔️ Straight to the Point:
Bernie’s 4-day workweek pitch is simple. If AI does more, humans should work less, not just get replaced.
