The FOA hired independent tech experts who began reverse-engineering Fisker’s proprietary software patches. Members taught each other how to flash firmware. They organized bulk purchases of replacement parts — negotiating the price of key fobs down from roughly $1,000 each to a fraction of that through coordinated group buys. They hosted free global key fob pairing events, saving each owner $100 to $250.
In Europe, they created what they call the “Flying Doctors” program — a mobile repair network where technically skilled members travel to help other owners keep their vehicles running.

The Chicago Cubs are one step closer to proving that Wrigley View Rooftop is breaking the law by selling access to a rooftop building where fans can watch Cubs games in person without actually paying the Cubs.
...
Judge Coleman concluded the Cubs have an established property right in the product of live Cubs games produced at Wrigley Field. She emphasized a ruling from 1938 in Pittsburgh Athletic Co. v. KQV Broadcasting Co. The case involved a radio station paying “observers” to watch Pirates games from the rooftop of a building adjacent to Forbes Field.
Through those observers, the radio station provided a play-by-play of Pirates home games
(At least from that snippet, seems like the obvious difference is the broadcast)
Expert Review feels like having trusted expert reviewers by your side. This AI agent provides high-quality, domain-specific feedback based on publicly available expert content, helping you meet the expectations of your field with confidence.
...
Open a doc in Grammarly’s AI writing surface and click the icon for the Expert Review agent to check your text.
In practice it supposedly works like this:
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.
And speaking of intellectual property and privacy:Using Grammarly for the first time in forever ... WHAT?
As a non-native speaker writing primarily in English, I used to use it to check prepositions, point out too long/convoluted sentences etc.
It now offers to summon colleagues both living and dead to "expert review" the piece???

IGN:
The AI-"enhanced" versions, which appear on TikTok as if posted directly from the official Finji account
...
The offending image depicts an edited version of the official cover art, the original version of which is pictured above. In the seemingly AI-edited version, the main character June (center in the image above) is depicted alone, but the image extends down to her ankles. She is depicted with a bikini bottom, impossibly large hips and thighs, and boots that rise up over her knees
...
Finji also says it is unable to view or edit the AI-generated versions of its own ads, and is only aware of them via numerous comments on the ads as well as users in its official Discord reporting the problem and sharing screenshots
...
Since this incident took place, Finji staff have made efforts to follow up and get answers, only to be shut down by TikTok support repeatedly
Here's what TikTok has been doing to our work & art without our consent.

Posting this here for reasons 😒 If you happen to see any Finji ads that look distinctly UN-Finji-like, send me a screencap. If you are someone who writes intelligently about something like "massive company running ai versions of paid ads without small company's consent" idk, maybe reach out.

Amazon has itWe were saddened to hear about the death of legendary artist and friend to Hard Case Crime Drew Struzan at 78. Drew illustrated A BLOODY BUSINESS, his wife Dylan’s historical novel, for us—not just the cover but copious interiors. He was a gentleman and a genius. He is missed. pic.twitter.com/c8CLJwlPFg

Look at the wraparound artwork Struzan did for the Indiana Jones books in the early 90s, complete with hand-drawn titles and author blocks! 16 year old me would stand in a mall B. Dalton and could feel the thunder & hear the music with one of these books in my fat little white suburban hands.

Apparently trueMy favorite Struzan story is that he was doing the poster for Indy at Disneyland, but they didn't have the rights to Ford's likeness. Fed up with working around the problem, Struzan just called Ford and was like, "hey, can I use your face for this," and Ford said, "if it's for you, absolutely."

NPR:
[Seattle Public Library's collection services manager] pointed to Brittney Spears’ 2023 memoir "The Woman In Me" as a prime example of the budget challenges that e-books pose. [SPL] paid the book’s publisher $17.81 for each physical copy it bought, a few dollars cheaper than what an individual would pay in a bookstore.
Electronic copies were a totally different story. The e-book and e-audiobook are about $17 for a consumer, but the library paid more than three times that price: $64.99 for an e-book and $59.99 for a digital audiobook.
...
That price tag is only the start of the story. Publishers largely don’t allow libraries to own digital books outright — they have to license them for a set period of time or a set number of checkouts.
In the case of "The Woman In Me," each copy is only rented to the library for two years, then they have to pay again to keep using it.
The [US Copyright Office]’s notice granting [the human author] copyright registration of her book does not recognize her as author of the whole text as is conventional for written works. Instead she is considered the author of the “selection, coordination, and arrangement of text generated by artificial intelligence.” This means no one can copy the book without permission, but the actual sentences and paragraphs themselves are not copyrighted and could theoretically be rearranged and republished as a different book.
(The activist author is also famous for other reasons.)

(Mentioned in Robin Sloan's newsletter.) From 2019,
Francis Spufford has taken a break from writing award-winning adult literature to fill in the details of what exactly went on in Narnia before The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. But he isn’t expecting his novel, set in CS Lewis’s magical world, to be published any time soon.
Spufford, who has been writing for the past three and a half years without the permission of the Lewis estate, began Narnia story The Stone Table on a family holiday to entertain his daughter Theodora.
...
The much-loved world of Aslan is under copyright until 2034. After finishing the novel, Spufford made a “tentative” approach to ask the Lewis estate if they might agree to publication, but did not receive a reply. Eventually he printed up 75 copies and started giving them to friends.
For legal reasons, all I can say is: watch this space. Possibly for the next 11 years.
I read a great one last week: The Stone Table by Francis Spufford.
This is, in short, the perfect time to devour one more Chronicle of Narnia, a book that so uncannily captures the tone and flavor of the original seven that it’s only fitting Spufford has printed it up with the same interior design and even bound it in a fabric very similar to the binding of the hardcover copies I bought with my saved-up allowance and birthday money.
From what I could tell, some excerpts were briefly posted, but even those are unavailable online.

AFP:
The variety of juicy grape ... took scientists 33 years to develop and can sell for $100 a bunch in Tokyo department stores.
...
According to the Japanese government, China and South Korea took Shine Muscat seedlings out of Japan and grafted them onto local vines to produce fruit that looks and tastes -- almost -- as good.
...
Japan cannot stop China or South Korea from growing the fruit because Tokyo -- some say naively -- failed to register the variety overseas within the six years required under international rules.
...
Japan cannot export grapes to China itself because of Beijing's quarantine rules, so Chinese growers are not technically cannibalising Japanese sales.
