4 d. ago Big content is taking on AI – but it’s far from the David v Goliath tale they’d have you believe | Alexander Avila

Deals between media conglomerates and tech companies serve both sets of interests, while leaving artists by the waysideThe world’s biggest music company is now in the AI business. Last year, Universal Music Group (UMG), alongside labels including Warner Records and Sony Music Entertainment sued two AI music startups for allegedly using their recordings to train text-to-music models without permission.But last month, UMG announced a deal with one of the defendants, Udio, to create an AI music platform.

What the Tesla tycoon wants his billions can’t buy: being able to get a true laughAs I’ve written before, the world is being burnt down around us by some of the biggest losers in history. It is painful to watch. In difficult times like these, it is important to try to find silver linings.For me, the brightest of these linings shines from Elon Musk, who is one of the worst contributors to today’s “world vibe”. He has an unbelievable amount of money, and therefore power. He has the president’s bandaged ear. He bought Twitter, made it horrible, and now spends a concerning amount of time on there, like a guy who brought alcohol for the party so you have to let him hang out.Then they said, look, wait a second.
