Leaked materials shared with 404 Media suggest that AI music company Suno assembled a vast training library by copying audio and lyrics from platforms including YouTube Music, Deezer, Genius, Pond5, Jamendo, Freesound, the International Music Score Library Project, and podcast feeds delivered through RSS. The hacker who accessed the company’s systems also claimed to have obtained user information linked to hundreds of thousands of Suno customers, along with Stripe-related payment data.

Character.ai users have taken to Reddit in a wave of frustration, pleading with the company to stop “fixing” the app after a string of updates they say has made it significantly worse. The backlash has been unusually unified: across threads and comment sections, people who normally disagree about features and moderation are instead echoing the same complaints and urging the company to roll back changes.

Η επιστολή επιβολής της κυβέρνησης των ΗΠΑ προς την Anthropic, η οποία ουσιαστικά ανάγκασε την εταιρεία να αποσύρει offline τα πιο πρόσφατα μοντέλα AI της λίγο πριν το Σαββατοκύριακο, θα έπρεπε να λειτουργήσει ως καμπανάκι για κάθε αμερικανική τεχνολογική εταιρεία — είτε είναι εργαστήριο AI είτε όχι.

Στο πρόσφατο commencement του Stanford, εκεί όπου ο **Sundar Pichai** επέστρεψε ως ομιλητής με το κύρος του CEO της Google και την παλιά του ιδιότητα ως απόφοιτος, το αμφιθέατρο δεν έμεινε στο καθιερωμένο χειροκρότημα: περίπου 200 τελειόφοιτοι αποχώρησαν, ενώ ακούστηκαν έντονες αποδοκιμασίες, σε μια διαμαρτυρία που στόχευε ευθέως τους αμυντικούς δεσμούς της εταιρείας και ειδικά το *Project Nimbus*.

Every time artificial intelligence comes up at a dinner table or in a group chat, I can almost predict the next line: “So… is it going to take my job?” It’s the modern version of an old anxiety—only now it moves at software speed. That’s why I paid attention when Jensen Huang, the upbeat CEO of Nvidia, tried to pour cold water on the fear that AI is a conveyor belt to mass unemployment.

I keep hearing the same confession from executives who have already “done AI”: the pilot worked, the demo dazzled, the board nodded—and then reality arrived. The model that sounded so confident in a sandbox suddenly had to live inside a business where mistakes cost money, lawsuits, reputations, and sometimes people’s lives. That’s when the conversation stops being about innovation and starts being about a less glamorous word: reliability.

I’ve been watching smart speakers drift into the background for years—still useful, still perched on kitchen counters, but rarely exciting. So when Google turns around and says, in effect, “No, wait—this category isn’t done,” I can’t help but lean in. After a long run of incremental updates, the company is betting that Gemini can breathe new life into the form factor. The result is a new $99.99 device called the Google Home Speaker, built specifically with Gemini in mind.

Before the much-anticipated Odyssey by Christopher Nolan even hit the theaters, the Greek Times published “A Letter to Hollywood and Nolan’s Odyssey Cast from Us Greeks”, which states clearly and unequivocally a simple fact: Greeks exist. Yes, the same people who created the myths of Helen and Achilles, or Agamemnon and Odysseus, of Zeus and Athena - they are still here. They speak the language that Homer would have recognized. They look like their ancestors. They have survived persecution, genocide, the cruel Islamic occupation - and yet, they refuse to be obliterated.

Every so often, a lawsuit shows up that feels less like a legal dispute and more like a mirror held up to the internet’s worst habits. This one started with a familiar modern wound: a person seeing their name discussed in a private-ish online group, described with words like “clingy” and “psycho,” and deciding that the right response was to take nearly everyone to court.
