George Carlin’s estate settles lawsuit over AI comedy special: George Carlin’s estate reached a settlement with the creators of a reportedly AI-generated comedy ...
washingtonpost.com/entertainment/2024/04/03/george-carlin-ai-comedy-lawsuit-settlement/
Quick Glance: George Carlin Estate Triumphs Over AI Version
- An agreement has been reached between the George Carlin estate and Dudesy, the podcast that allegedly used a "comedy AI" to produce an hour-long stand-up special in the style and voice of the late comedian.
- Irrespective of the actual author of the special, Dudesy was also criticized in the lawsuit for leveraging the name, reputation, and likeness of George Carlin to create, promote, and distribute the special.
- Joshua Schiller, attorney for the Carlin estate, viewed the settlement as a victory for any "artist or public figure whose rights were violated by AI technology" and called for stricter regulation of AI software companies.
- According to court documents, Dudesy had taken prompt actions to remove the special and any references to Carlin from all online accounts after the lawsuit was filed. The settlement prohibits the Dudesy podcast (and those associated with it) from reposting the special and from using "George Carlin’s image, voice, or likeness" in any online content.

The US is right to target TikTok : Chinese control of a powerful ‘persuasive AI’ tool cannot be tolerated
ft.com/content/69caf324-2ac0-4b53-a0b4-1f2ecae6e29e
Quick Glance: The US is right to target TikTok
- The US House of Representatives in March overwhelmingly passed a bill to force divestiture of TikTok from its Chinese parent.
- This TikTok divestiture is about preventing a foreign adversary from controlling a platform to deploy what I call “persuasive AI”.
- TikTok is a tool that has proven so valuable that ByteDance is spending money hand over fist on an intimidation campaign.
- The proposed legislation targets TikTok’s foreign ownership, not its content, and does not violate the First Amendment of the US constitution.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' homes raided by law enforcement as part of investigation, reports say
usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2024/03/25/sean-diddy-combs-federal-investigation-homes-searched/73098430007/
Quick Glance: Firearms Discovered at Sean 'Diddy' Combs' L.A. and Miami Properties, Sources Say
- During searches of Sean 'Diddy' Combs' properties in Los Angeles and Miami, federal agents found firearms, as confirmed by three informed sources on Tuesday. Homeland Security Investigations executed search warrants from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on Monday and confiscated the music mogul's phones in Miami before his planned trip to the Bahamas. According to a source familiar with the matter, Combs is under a federal criminal investigation due to multiple lawsuits filed against him in recent months.
- Reportedly, Combs has been involved in numerous civil lawsuits since November, following a lawsuit from his former romantic partner Cassie, who accused him of physical and sexual abuse over several years. Combs has denied each of the sexual assault allegations, calling them 'sickening.' In February, a former employee who worked for Combs from September 2022 to November 2023 filed a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment, drugging, and threats.
- The cases are ongoing, and Combs has maintained his denial of the allegations. A man arrested on drug charges at a Miami airport on Monday is said to be an associate of Combs. Brendan Paul, 25, was arrested at the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport on suspicion of possessing suspected cocaine and suspected marijuana candy. Court records indicated that Paul was released on bond on Tuesday.
