Summary:
Universal Music Publishing Group issued a DMCA takedown notice against Youtuber Grandayy for using an AI-generated version of Eminem’s voice to sing a ChatGPT-generated song about cats, claiming that the video infringes on its copyright. Copyright laws allow for parody works as long as they’re transformative. Some AI researchers believe that copyright law is the way forward in the debate between AI-generated art enthusiasts and artists.
ByteDance's revenue surged over 30% in 2022 to surpass $80 billion, matching arch-rival Tencent's tally, thanks to the popularity of TikTok and Douyin. ByteDance's growth outpaced most global internet leaders, including Meta and Amazon. Despite Washington's threat to ban TikTok and a growing number of government agencies across the world wiping the app from official phones due to security concerns, ByteDance's resilience is attributed to the twin video platforms siphoning ad dollars from other social media platforms. The growth could boost investor confidence in the Chinese social media giant.
Swedish startup Stilride has unveiled an electric motorcycle inspired by the Japanese art of origami. The Stilride 1 is made from a single piece of stainless steel that is folded into shape using a technique known as industrial origami, resulting in minimal emissions. The motorcycle is also designed to be sustainable during production, with a minimal number of parts and locally sourced materials. The Stilfold technology used in production combines intelligent design and engineering in a digital value chain, reducing material and labor costs while increasing efficiency. The motorcycle has a range of 120 kilometers, a charging time of four hours, and various features accessible through an app, including theft protection, GPS, and battery status. The motorcycle is set to be available for purchase in Europe in 2024, with a starting price of €15,000.
