Sora Leaked: Artists Rebel Against OpenAI's "Unpaid R&D"

OpenAI's secretive Sora video model just got an unexpected preview, courtesy of some rebellious artists. A group of beta testers claim they've leaked early access to the text-to-video AI, accusing OpenAI of exploiting them for free labor and "art washing." These digital Davids are throwing stones at the AI Goliath, demanding more transparency and fair treatment. OpenAI's response? A corporate shrug, insisting participation is voluntary. Meanwhile, Sora remains in its research cocoon, with promises of a year-end emergence. Will this artist uprising force OpenAI to change its tune, or will it be business as usual in the AI art world?

Nvidia's AI Turns Saxophones into Barking Dogs

Nvidia's new Fugatto AI is like a mad scientist's sound lab. It can make saxophones bark, flutes meow, and cellos shout in anger. This "world's most flexible sound machine" mixes and morphs audio in ways that'll make your ears do a double-take. Want to hear a train transform into an orchestra? Or a banjo play in the rain? Fugatto's got you covered. But before you get too excited about creating your own cacophony of craziness, there's a catch – it's not available yet. So for now, we'll have to settle for imagining what a whispering typewriter might sound like.

Google's Legal AI Fishing Expedition

Google's getting nosy about its AI rivals' secrets. In a bold move, the search giant has subpoenaed OpenAI, Perplexity, and Microsoft, demanding juicy details about their AI tools. It's all part of Google's antitrust trial defense, trying to prove it's not monopolizing search. They want everything from ChatGPT usage data to AI training secrets. But the targets aren't exactly rolling over – OpenAI's crying "trade secrets!" while Microsoft's only spilling some of the tea. Is Google genuinely curious, or just stalling for time to beef up its own AI game? Either way, this legal chess match is getting spicier than a jalapeno-flavored algorithm.

LinkedIn's AI Love Affair: Corporate Babble Goes Robotic

Looks like LinkedIn's gone full robot romance! A new study reveals over half of longer English posts on the platform are likely AI-generated. But let's be honest, could you tell the difference between AI corporate-speak and human "thought leader" drivel anyway? LinkedIn's embrace of AI tools has users churning out algorithmically-polished career brags faster than you can say "synergy." While some worry about the ethics, others see it as just another tool, like spellcheck for your ego. So next time you're scrolling through LinkedIn's sea of buzzwords, remember: that inspiring post might just be from a very ambitious chatbot.
