Alphabet spinoff SandboxAQ — an AI and quantum computing startup — added another $150 million to its Series E from the likes of Google and Nvidia. The add-on comes less than four months after the company announced it had raised a $300 million round at a $5.6 billion valuation.

SandboxAQ is looking at the related effects of both AI and quantum — which is where the company gets the “AQ” in its name — to develop commercial products for telecom, financial services, healthcare, security and…

A new study appears to lend credence to allegations that OpenAI trained at least some of its AI models on copyrighted content. OpenAI is embroiled in suits brought by authors, programmers, and other rights-holders who accuse the company of using their works — books, codebases, and so on — to develop its models without permission. OpenAI has long claimed a fair use defense, but the plaintiffs in these cases argue that there isn’t a carve-out in U.S. copyright law for training data. The study, which was co-authored by researchers at the University of Washington, the University of Copenhagen, and Stanford,…

Prompt: A close-up shot captures a small, fluffy dog dressed in a pink ballerina costume. The tutu’s layers of tulle are perfectly arranged, and the satin bodice sparkles under the studio lights. The dog’s head is tilted, its tongue lolling out in a happy grin. Its big, brown eyes are filled with joy and excitement, reflecting the anticipation of the performance. The background is a blur of soft colors, ensuring all focus remains on the adorable canine ballerina. __ Veo creates videos with realistic motion and high quality output, up to 4K. Learn more source
My April’s Fools joke – that I had a sneak preview of GPT-5 —obviously went too far for some people (though hundreds wrote to me to say that they loved it), and I apologize to those who didn’t get the joke.

[As to reality, Sam today just said GPT-5 is coming in “months”; we will see.]All that said, misery loves company, and it turns out that I wasn’t the only one who mocked generative AI on April 1. And…
