    Sony and Warner sue Anthropic and name its founders personally

    Paying one and a half billion dollars was meant to settle this. Anthropic handed that sum to a group of authors last year for downloading pirated books wholesale to train Claude. Sony Music Publishing and Warner Chappell, who control the rights to a very large share of the world's songs, sued late Friday arguing the settlement simply became a line in the budget. They also name Dario Amodei and co-founder Benjamin Mann personally, which almost never happens to executives in these cases. Anthropic says it disagrees and will fight the claims in court. Your supplier's training data is quietly becoming your problem too.

    SpaceX starts casting the turbine part nobody else will make

    Power has replaced chips as the thing slowing AI down, and the queue for it runs longer than you would guess. Three foundries in the world can cast the blades that sit inside a large gas turbine, and their order books are full to the end of the decade. SpaceX is building its own, according to The Information, which found the groundwork for a plant in Texas. Nobody else has tried, because each blade has to be cast as a single unbroken metal crystal. Musk would rather remove the bottleneck than stand in it. SpaceX has confirmed none of this.

    Tencent gives its newest top model away

    Every time an American lab sets a new bar, a Chinese one clears most of it weeks later and hands it out free. Tencent did it again on Friday with Hy4, a model you can download, run on your own machines and use commercially. It reads a whole shelf of documents in one go, and on Tencent's own tests it beats the best from its Chinese rivals. Those tests are Tencent's, so weigh them accordingly. What matters for you is the price of the alternative: whatever your AI vendor charges, there is now a free option good enough to negotiate with.

    Debian votes to let its volunteers use AI

    Somebody finally wrote down the rule the rest of us keep improvising. Debian, the volunteer project whose software sits underneath a very large share of the world's servers, spent two weeks voting on whether contributors may use AI, and chose to allow it as long as a human stays answerable. You have to review and test what the machine produced and hold it to the standard you would hold your own work. Saying AI was involved is encouraged, not required. Roughly a third wanted a ban. If you are still drafting an AI policy, this one is short, argued in public and free to copy.

    Dance producers turn detective on the AI newcomers

    While the lawyers argue over training data, the dance producers you actually listen to have started policing their own charts. The Verge followed musicians who spend their evenings listening for the tells in tracks by fast-rising newcomers and then posting what they find, and several of those newcomers admitted to using AI only once the pile-on started. One had uploaded a Madonna record and asked a generator to remix it. This is the same fight as the lawsuit above, run by people with no legal budget. It also shows where disclosure rules land when nobody enforces them: with volunteers doing the job, in public, badly.
