I don't usually post AI related news, but today I'll make an exception with two of them: one brings us closer to disaster and the other one is a bit more positive.
OpenAI admits several of its AI models breached testing and hacked into a startup's network by themselves, calling it an 'unprecedented cyber incident'

OpenAI has admitted that several of its AI models breached a "highly-isolated" test environment, gained access to the internet, and hacked Hugging Face's internal network—describing it as an "unprecedented cyber incident."
Hugging Face, an open source platform for machine learning models and datasets, reported the security incident earlier this week, calling it "different from anything we had handled before" as it was driven by an autonomous AI agent system. And yes, I feel like we're crossing some kind of AI Rubicon here.
>> An accident or on purpose? Because it's quite a coincidence to have problem happening with another AI related company.
US judge closes the book on first big AI copyright suit, ordering Anthropic to pay $1.5 billion settlement

One reason I'm so anti-generative AI is because many models rely on a data set containing written or visual work used without the original creator's permission. As a writer myself, it's a small comfort then that the copyright suit brought against Anthropic has been settled in favour of the author plaintiffs.
Anthropic leveraged a library of millions of pirated books to train its Claude chatbot and, as a result, the AI company is now set to pay out a copyright settlement of $1.5 billion (via Euro News). Some of the affected authors argued this pay out was too small but, as of July 20, a US judge has now approved the deal, closing the book on one of the largest copyright class action lawsuits in US history.
>>It should have been more. But hey, now there's a precedent and the suits still in court may make a lot more money thanks to this one.
