The New York Times is suing OpenAI, and it's a huge deal for the future of LLMs.

Plus, major developments in AI from LG's new smart robot, Sam Altman, Alibaba, Anthropic, Assistive, and 8 new AI tools.

Here's the thread of everything you need to know:

The New York Times is suing OpenAI/Microsoft for copyright over unauthorized use of millions of articles to train AI systems like ChatGPT.

If NYT wins, it could cause tech giants to strike content deals and slow AI — a major blow to the future of ChatGPT.

LG just announced a new AI-powered robot assistant referred to as the ‘smart home AI agent’.

The robot features autonomous mobility to help manage smart homes — and can recognize humans, pets, house objects, and gather data like temperature and air quality.

Sam Altman and Jony Ive have reportedly recruited Apple's outgoing iPhone design chief to work on an AI consumer hardware startup.

The startup, LoveFrom, is still early-stage but aims to build advanced AI products for the home.

Alibaba researchers just released a lifelike AI avatar-maker.

Make-A-Character (Mach) is an AI system that turns text prompts into realistic 3D avatars by utilizing LLM and vision models.

OpenAI competitor Anthropic is projecting $850M in annualized revenue by the end of 2024, per The Information.

This is a significant increase over the OpenAI competitor’s previous $500M forecast.

Claude is still underrated.

Assistive launched Assistive Video.

The tool is a new early alpha generative video platform that creates 4-second videos from text and image prompts.

8 new AI tools & 4 new jobs.
