This move is driven by Broadcom acting like a private equity manager. They found a place to extract a temporary revenue stream, they're going to milk it, and then sell it off before it becomes too much of a liability.

Broadcom executives surely saw the negative pushback immediately after they started their rug-pulling licensing effort. If they intended to keep this market and their position in it, they would have adjusted their behavior immediately. Instead they're going to rake everyone as they walk out the door. And until they can walk out the door. They knew that they would lose all of these customers in the medium term, but my guess is they figure that the industry is shifting away from paying so much for VMs so they will squeeze the last bit they can out of this dying market. I think they are fully prepared to spin this off if it decides to be a drain on their balance sheet. So far, there's just a lot of angry, paying, enterprise customers giving them free money for something they didn't even have to build. It's a gravy train, quite literally.

Yes. That is more plausible.

Bloomberg is also a data service with higher level access to the markets. The box and the software on it aren't what they are selling. They're selling access to the info in .. and this is the important part that perplexity will never match... in near real time.

Because the FIFA peace prize is a made up token meant to eliminate friction with an ego maniac?

It's still voting with our wallets. By removing our eyeballs, ChatGPT loses more impressions of advertisements to sell. It is a big deal to them.

Traffic Cams are being installed everywhere in the USA

No, you've just articulated why this tool will actually not be used as a legal solution to anyone's copyright problems.

Lots of people use similar musical constructs in their songs and nobody gets the copyright for any of it. For example, Lean on Me is a C scale. Not everyone who writes a song that walks up and down the C scale, nor even the same portions of it as are used in that song, has copied from Lean on Me. But this is what we are going to get from an AI that detects these kinds of similarities. It will not be able to tell anyone that they copied it specifically from them. More trash, move on.

The term ultra-processed foods is one of those "I'll know it when I see it" definitions so far. Until they can actually define what that term means and use that as a meaningful way to identify foods that have common characteristics that may be bad or good under what circumstances, then anything someone says about his dangerous they are is full of shit because there is no category.

they will be liable for 'errors' because of their guarantee policy. they don't want to deal with it, and I don't blame them. but this rule can't stand for long. once the market is full of only automated agents, they will be missing a market opportunity that others are taking advantage of so I see this as a temporary legal reprieve for ebay.

they aren't criminalizing anything. they are establishing a category of tort (a legal liability for which you can be sued by private entites) and establishing the initial boundary in law. this is a common practice.

this actually helps protect musk because it puts the tort on the user who actually does the thing instead of the company that makes the bot. you are grossly misunderstanding the issue.

Rather than blaming the tool maker for what people do with it, expose the offenders themselves (the person who makes and uses the image, not the person who makes the program that made it possible to make the image) to legal tort. Problem will eventually be solved.

Credit card companies will have to write down their outstanding debt. Even if not in full. It will blow a hole in balance sheets, cause a panic on wall street. contagion is a risk.
