    • Dappier provides a path to thrive in the new paradigm - check out our CTO Krish Arvapally’s blog post on Dappier x Cloudflare.
      

• Last week we covered Anthropic’s partial victory in one of several ongoing lawsuits around AI, copyright, and training data. Later that same week Meta won a similar case, though the presiding Judge took note to call out legal hurdles AI companies might face in future lawsuits. - source

  • Meta has also drawn plenty of attention for its hiring practices in recent weeks, building a ‘Superintelligence’ Lab and poaching large numbers of OpenAI leaders with promises of major-sized salaries.
