Sounds once again like the usual culprit of most BSOD: drivers.
i.e. sounds like the driver wasn't rigorously tested for sleep states.
err no, I verified all links and the reason for each case cited in each article before posting.
They're valid and AI accurately pointed them out - but it rightly added a caveat to the "Westmoreland v. CBS (1982–1985)" case as it's not a direct news publisher vs TV station, but rather the fact that the TV documentary made use of investigative reporting which resulted in a defamation case.
Someone doesn't have their brain engaged, but I'm fairly sure it's not me.
"Publishers have been suing new tech companies for a hundred years, starting with radio, TV, the internet, social media, and now AI," Jesse Dwyer, Perplexity's head of communications, told TechCrunch. "Fortunately it's never worked, or we'd all be talking about this by telegraph."
I also wondered about this, came across as a fairly good argument, so I checked with AI
Initially it summarised each point, but when I probed it further, including checking its own sources, it came back with: -
* AP v. KVOS (1936): The Associated Press sued KVOS, a Washington radio station, alleging unfair competition for reading newspaper stories verbatim on air; the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the station's favor on a technicality, but the case catalyzed licensing arrangements between news services and radio
* The Press–Radio War and Biltmore Agreement (1933–1935): U.S. newspapers mounted political, economic, and legal campaigns to curb radio's news reading, pressuring wire services to stop supplying bulletins and forcing restrictive terms on radio networks via the Biltmore Agreement
* Red Lion Broadcasting Co. v. FCC (1969): A landmark Supreme Court case upholding the FCC's fairness doctrine for radio/TV, reflecting the intense disputes over broadcast news practices and personal attack rules, even though it wasn't a publisher suing a broadcaster
* Westmoreland v. CBS (1982–1985): A high-profile libel suit by General William Westmoreland against CBS over a documentary, emblematic of television broadcasters facing defamation litigation tied to investigative reporting rather than publisher-versus-TV lawsuits
* Associated Press v. All Headline News (2008–2009): AP sued an online news aggregator for “hot news” misappropriation, copyright, and trademark claims; the court allowed AP's claims to proceed, and the case later settled—an instructive example of publishers suing internet-era distributors over content scraping
* Section 230 context: The rise of social platforms led to extensive litigation over liability for third-party content, with Section 230 providing broad immunity; debates and cases around that regime frame publisher challenges to social media's distribution of news
I've often wondered this, until I came across this story on slashdot whereby authors of browser addons/extensions are approached to generate money from their hard work if they covertly add a javascript file similar to Mellowtel which essentially spies on browser traffic/scrapes webpages so each user unknowingly becomes a bot.
Sadly most addons are never monitored, and even if they have approval, they can just as easily slip in the few lines of code to import the js script in the next minor release.
... critics say the monetization works by using the browser extensions to scrape websites on behalf of paying customers, which include AI startups, according to MellowTel founder Arsian Ali. Tuckner (security researcher) reached this conclusion after uncovering close ties between MellowTel and Olostep, a company that bills itself as "the world's most reliable and cost-effective Web scraping API." Olostep says its service "avoids all bot detection and can parallelize up to 100K requests in minutes." Paying customers submit the locations of browsers they want to access specific webpages. Olostep then uses its installed base of extension users to fulfill the request.

Sadly it looks like memory prices will only increase, making personal computers potentially a thing of the past?
Didn't read the year - this is from last year
Still interesting though, and curious how much more it has increased since then. I believe Microsoft also revealed a similar figure back in April, stating around 30% of code was written using AI.
I've stated previously, I envision a time where most developer will hardly write code, instead just spend hours reviewing endless lines of code, or likely speeding up the drudge by becoming mostly full-time testers.
In that case, Google, YouTube, Facebook/Twitter/etc, should be the worst possible place for you?
It's constantly learning from you, and serving the content that reaffirms your views and biases to keep you engaged.
In essence, living in a filter bubble.
No, I believe that's the re-released non-AI version, which sounds awful.
... for calling themselves out when they think there may be a major issue with their airplanes.

A new study has found that people are more likely to act kind towards others when Batman is present â" and not for the reasons you might assume.
[...]
Psychologists from the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Italy conducted experiments on the Milan metro to see who, if anyone, might offer their seat to a pregnant passenger.
The kicker? Sometimes Batman was there â" or at least, another experimenter dressed as him. The researchers were checking if people were more likely to give up their seat in the presence of the caped crusader.
And sure enough, there did seem to be a correlation. In 138 different experiments, somebody offered their seat to an experimenter wearing a hidden prosthetic belly 67.21 percent of the time in the presence of Batman.
That's a lot more often than times the superhero wasn't around â" in those cases, a passenger offered a seat just 37.66 percent of the time.
[...]
"Interestingly, among those who left their spot in the experimental condition, nobody directly associated their gesture with the presence of Batman, and 14 (43.75 percent) reported that they did not see Batman at all."
The article goes on to speculate about what is causing people to be more generous.
My thoughts exactly!
Switching from something with more privacy and capability to an inferior product, while handing all company data to "do no evil" Google!
Do companies care so little for trade secrets these days?
Thank you @znrt
Finally someone with some geopolitical knowledge and historical perspective to have the guts to point out the obvious, which sadly majority on here refuse to acknowledge or listen, except to the propaganda coming from western msm.
Anyone they disagree with is a "Putin shill", or "Russian propagandist", etc.
I don't understand why people here can't understand that we would never accept Russian/Chinese/Iranian military bases on our border, but we should expect Russia and the rest of the world to tolerate American/NATO bases on theirs?
