“One area of focus for my team is helping reporters who have a good problem to have — but nevertheless a problem — which is too much data: reams and reams of documents or huge sets of images of handwritten notes or massive transcripts of an enormous number of videos.

“Over the last 15 years publishers have come to rely on two US tech giants — Meta and Alphabet — for online discoverability…Wilkinson said these companies (as well as Amazon and X) have now repositioned themselves behind Trump’s ‘America first shield’ when it comes to regulation in a move which may put hundreds of millions of dollars of news industry revenue at risk.”

“Palin, 61, who was defeated in her 2008 bid for the nation’s second-highest office, lost her first trial against the Times and former editorial page editor James Bennet in 2022. But last August, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan found the verdict tainted by several rulings by the presiding judge, and ordered a retrial.”

“A lot of the a lot of the hesitation in Hollywood and entertainment in general, are issues of the source material for the training data, and who deserves what, and copyright protection…Anybody that’s an artist, anybody that’s a human being, is a model. You’re a model already, you’ve got a three and a half pound meat computer. We’re models moving through space and time and reacting based on our training data.”

“Despite publisher interest, there’s still no clear path to monetization in Al interfaces. Deals remain rare and exclusive. OpenAl, for instance, has only three people on its global partnership team, signalling the ecosystem’s lack of scale and maturity.”

“It could identify when they were feeling worthless or helpless or like a failure, and [Meta] would take that information and share it with advertisers…Advertisers understand that when people don’t feel good about themselves, it’s often a good time to pitch a product — people are more likely to buy something.”

“That might be because, after years of navigating shifting ad markets, platform changes, and economic headwinds including multiple recessions and the COVID-19 pandemic, they’ve simply grown used to rolling with the punches. It could also just be the calm before the storm.”

“Rather than just doing the writing for you, it will leave comments with suggestions about how you can tighten up an existing draft. I’m familiar with this concept as an editor, and they’re hella useful. If you don’t have access to, you know, a person editor, an Al version might not be a terrible idea. This one will be available ‘later this quarter.'”

“Elon’s nonstop actions against us are just bad-faith tactics to slow down OpenAl and seize control of the leading Al innovations for his personal benefit…Musk’s continued attacks on OpenAl, culminating most recently in the fake takeover bid designed to disrupt OpenAl’s future, must cease. Musk should be enjoined from further unlawful and unfair action, and held responsible for the damage he has already caused.”

“The Economist Group has not signed any content licensing deals with generative Al companies and it is also yet to join any of the lawsuits brought over content theft…’we see our strategy as what I call offensive defense, where we believe we have a moat which exists already and we need to keep on building and making ever stronger. And that’s through spending more on brand marketing, so our brand really stands out.”
