Midjourney wants the Hollywood studios that sued it to show the court how they use AI
Midjourney wants to see how Warner Bros. Discovery, Disney and Universal Studios use artificial intelligence technologies in their shows and movies, and according to Variety it wants the companies to submit that information to court. Midjourney argued that training AI with publicly available images is fair use and that the studios themselves use the same training practices for their own AI models. Specifically, Midjourney is asking for the studios' AI business plans, research reports, training datasets, model weights and even the presentations about AI the companies used for their board meetings. However, in mid-June, a magistrate judge allowed the studios to withhold most information involving their AI use and to hand over only information related to consumer-facing AI applications. Now, Midjourney is asking the federal court to overturn that judge's order. According to litigation publication Mealey's, Midjourney's reasoning is that the evidence it's asking for is related to its fair use defense.
Where NASA Posts Its Best Space Photos, and How to Find Them
Explore decades of incredible images and videos of stars, planets, moons, and galaxies--most of which are free to use and share. The recent mission to the moon by Artemis II astronauts was memorable, inspiring, and scientifically important for so many reasons . It also brought us a treasure trove of new images and videos ready to be added to NASA's vast library of content. Consider this photo of Earth from more than 250,000 miles away, for example, taken from the other side of the moon.

Ukraine hits oil and military facilities near Russia's St Petersburg
Is the war entering a new phase? A wave of Ukrainian long-range drones has struck the St Petersburg region overnight, hitting an oil terminal and a Baltic Sea port in one of the largest deep-strike operations targeting President Vladimir Putin's home city. Leningrad region Governor Alexander Drozdenko said air defences shot down 72 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) over the region on Saturday. Russian authorities briefly halted flight operations at Pulkovo Airport and throttled municipal mobile internet networks to jam the drones' cellular-backed navigation systems. St Petersburg Governor Alexander Beglov said that one drone crashed in the grounds of the 18th-century Peterhof Palace complex, and another hit an oil terminal in the city's Kirovsky district.
Could the next great novel be written by AI (and would you even be able to tell)?
Could the next great novel be written by AI (and would you even be able to tell)? Can you tell which, if any, were AI generated? "The hotel is in a great location for everything. Lots of places to eat and drink. The hotel itself is always abuzz. The tavern located on the ground floor is definitely a must. Food, service, prices and atmosphere were great." "A good hotel, though the room had the proportions of a well-appointed lift.
