Microsoft CTO says he wants to swap most AMD and Nvidia GPUs for homemade chips Pivot will hinge on success of next-gen Maia accelerator Microsoft buys a lot of GPUs from both Nvidia and AMD. But moving forward, Redmond's leaders want to shift the majority of its AI workloads from GPUs to its own homegrown accelerators.…

Sora 2 and the end of copyright as we know it Something remarkable is happening online, and I don’t quite know how to explain it, but I’ll try. OpenAI has released Sora 2, the latest version of its video-generating tool, and it has landed with a bang. Before launch, Sam Altman made headlines by suggesting that copyright holders would need to opt out of having their works used for outputs, a statement that understandably set off alarm bells in some circles.

Export controls now a key factor in AI chip development – adding risk for the whole industry The physics of transistors and politics of trading licenses are colliding on the AI frontier Analysis  Few of us would have imagined that national security would play such a key role in AI hardware, even dictating its development, but here we are – in a new era of export controls.…

"IT admins miffed at having their authority usurped by a diktat from Redmond can console themselves with the knowledge that [according to Microsoft] Copilot's level of access "is strictly governed by the user’s work account permissions, ensuring enterprise data remains protected."

A key element missing in this piece is the essential need for not just for a ‘well-designed system’ but also
for one that is ‘well-regulated and well-governed’.

This is crucial for a system that could easily be used for surveillance (not just for identity verification) by many public authorities.

As Gamers Nexus notes, a Forbes article addressing the controversy, which was published in late August, does not appear on Forbes’ official website and can only be accessed via the Internet Archive. [8]

I’m also interested in the relative lack of media coverage of this story, perhaps likely because it involves one of the biggest news organisations in the world. [7]

On the flip side, it looks that like their fund-raising campaign in response to the strike might has been very successful, so they may have generated more revenues that YouTube monetisation of a video ever could. [6]

This chronicling of the whole process gives great insight in how the system of copyright enforcement works (or not). Gamers Nexus says they will share further insights regarding the financial and visibility effects caused by their video’s 10-day suspension from YouTube. [5]

The video analyses the broader copyright enforcement framework, assesses the financial repercussions and stress imposed on creators facing such strikes, and highlights concerns around “free license offers” that some copyright holders extend to alleged infringers. [4]

In the subsequent (expletive-laden) video (linked in this thread), Gamers Nexus provides a comprehensive overview of YouTube’s copyright strike process. [3]

Previously, the video was removed due to a copyright takedown request from Bloomberg, which cited infringement based on a one-minute segment sourced from their broadcast of a press conference featuring President Trump. [2]
