AI music generator Udio just admitted in a court filing that it trained on audio scraped from YouTube videos. It’s already being sued by labels & artists for what they say is copyright infringement on an “almost unimaginable scale”. Will be interesting now to see whether YouTube also takes action, given the YouTube CEO has previously said that scraping videos for training would be a “clear violation” of their terms of service. musicbusinessworldwide.com/files/2026/05/…

You know that feeling when something feels like AI but you can't quite say why? Delve, "let's dive in," markdown formatting, em dashes, "it's not just X, it's Y." We want to help train your eye for signs of slop, so we identified nine common patterns of AI writing using our corpus of millions of documents. Now, when you scan a piece of writing in Pangram, you'll see those patterns highlighted in the text. Hover over any of them for the breakdown. These patterns aren't used in our detection, but studies show that learning to recognize them can make you a robust detector yourself.

More than four years after a Boeing 737-800 passenger jet plunged 29,000 feet and crashed into a mountain in southern China, killing all 132 people on board, newly released data appears to indicate that someone in the cockpit intentionally switched off the fuel supply. cnn.it/4eZawog

For more than 70 years, British broadcaster and naturalist, Sir David Attenborough has brought nature to our screens. At 100, he reflects on one unforgettable moment - coming face to face with mountain gorillas in Rwanda. Here’s that encounter from 1979.

A Canadian LGBTQ+ Pride leader has been found guilty of 7 counts of sex trafficking. Jake Tucker, who also performed as a drag queen under the name "Anita Goodickyn," was said to have drugged and tased the women he forced into prostitution. reduxx.info/canada-innisfi…

A little cave lion carved from mammoth ivory some 40,000 years ago! 🦁 Imagine the #IceAge artist at work, sitting by the warmth of a fire, creating what is one of the world’s oldest known works of figurative art. Excavated in the 1930s, from the Vogelherd Cave, Swabian Jura, Germany 📷 by me #FindsFriday #Archaeology

this makes me tremendously sad.

Himachal govt installs a charging point in Manali for tourists to charge phones and gadgets, and within hours people turn it into a dustbin. No Swachh Bharat or any scheme can fix this nation, only an iron fist policy can bring change.

Wrong, Ai is trained by scraping people's work. It cant think, it cant reason, it can only copy and spew an average estimate from what it was trained on. Quit with this idea that AI is some sentient thing, its stupid.

“Han prefers to use the women's restroom when they are dressed femininely to avoid harassment or discomfort in the men's, according to the lawsuit.” Oh, FFS. Women’s spaces aren’t a shield for men who want to wear skirts.

@hecheateddotorg @UN_Women Also, a woman being discriminated against can simply assert "I'm not a woman" - and hey presto!

@UN_Women According to you, anyone can be a "woman," so this post is utterly meaningless.

Can you edit AI writing to sound like you? In collaboration with Pangram, researchers at the University of Maryland found that even after editing, LLM text remained more similar to AI writing than to human — despite editor's reports that the edited text reflected their voice.

Something happened to me and I still think about it… one night my water stopped running completely. I waited but it didn’t come back, and I couldn’t wait till morning because I had an early day, so I called a repair guy late at night. Halfway into the work he suddenly

With student A.I. use/abuse now ubiquitous, professors and teachers are killing off take-home essays and papers. Students are writing inside the classroom, often by hand. It's part of the big rethink happening on tech and learning. My new report here: nytimes.com/2026/04/30/us/…
