In this episode, Peter Csathy's co-hosts discuss his new article titled, "Raw Deal: The OpenAI Court Got It Wrong - Raw Story Media's Lawsuit Was Wrongly Dismissed on 'Standing' Grounds". In his article, Csathy discusses the recent dismissal by a federal judge of Raw Story Media's lawsuit against OpenAI on "standing" grounds. Raw Story had alleged that OpenAI included Raw Story's content in its LLM training data set without consent — and stripped out its copyright management information (CMI) in violation of the DMCA (specific copyright provisions related to the digital era). The Court dismissed the case, because the Judge concluded that Raw Story Media had failed to allege any actionable “harm” or “injury.”

Csathy writes that OpenAI’s “big win” is a fleeting one that will be reversed if it gets to that point, because the Judge simply got it wrong as a matter of law. And he lays out in detail why that is the case.

In this episode, Peter Csathy's co-hosts discuss his article of the same title - including the key AI-related content licensing deals to date, and where things to be heading in the epic copyright infringement/"fair use" battles that increasingly fill the courts between major rights-holders and big tech.

Last week, host Peter Csathy wrote not once but twice about Perplexity in his companion newsletter. And for good reason. He first posted an analysis based on The New York Times’ recent “cease and desist” demand to Perplexity. And then News Corp actually filed formal litigation against Perplexity for similar reasons.

Perplexity responded to News Corp's litigation. Not in the actual courts. Rather, in the court of public opinion. It posted its response on its official blog. You can read its full response here. Suffice it to say, it’s exactly what you would expect it to be. And Peter gives his own response to Perplexity's response in this week's newsletter.

In this episode, our two synthetic co-hosts discuss Csathy's response in the overall context not only of the actual litigation, but in the overall Zeitgeist of generative AI and society. (Peter generated it by simply dropping the text of his "Open Letter" into Google's NotebookLM).

PETER'S NOTE: I "authorize" it. I've listened to the discussion. It is remarkably sophisticated in its discussion - and is worthwhile for listening.

This episode gives a comprehensive overview of host Peter Csathy's deep dive article with the same title (link below).

The discussion uses The New York Times' recent "cease and desist" demand and News Corp's new lawsuit against generative AI search tool Perplexity to discuss the concept of RAG processing - and why it matters in the context of GenAI copyright, infringement and "fair use."

Based on Csathy's article (simply dropped into NotebookLM), Csathy's AI co-hosts also discuss the Second Circuit Court of Appeal's critical new copyright decision in the Hachette v. Interactive Archive case -- which relies heavily on the Supreme Court's most recent major copyright ruling in the "Andy Warhol - Prince" case.

Excellent discussion of host Peter Csathy's deep dive article titled, "Are Tech's Generative AI 'Fair Use' Dominoes Starting to Fall?"

Based on Csathy's article (simply dropped into NotebookLM), Csathy's AI co-hosts discuss: (1) the ongoing debate about whether AI training on copyrighted works (without consent/compensation) is "fair use"; (2) how developments in the Courts are increasingly pointing in favor of rights-holders (and against "fair use"); and (3) the best possible solution for both GenAI developers and the content owners and creators.

In this episode, Peter Csathy hands over the podcast to his Google NotebookLM "synthetic" AI-generated co-hosts to discuss his latest article, "Newsom's Hollywood/Silicon Valley Balancing Act: California's 17 New GenAI Laws May Become the Nation's De Facto Standards." The discussion is both surprisingly smart and surprisingly engaging. Csathy listened (and approved this message).

In this part 3 of his Google NotebookLM podcast series, host Peter Csathy enables his "synthetic" AI-generated guest hosts to discuss "the great AI copyright debate: fair use, or not?" Csathy generated this episode by simply uploading the text of his recent article on the subject. The results are fascinating. The conversation smart. But very different than Csathy's original source material (which Google NotebookLM takes ... and runs with it).

In this Part 2 to host Peter Csathy's Google NotebookLM generated podcast series, NotebookLM's "synthetic" AI-generated co-hosts discuss themselves - i.e., what their AI-generated personas mean for creativity, art and society. The result is fascinating. So good - the convers-AI-tion, so smart. It's scary.

Csathy generated the episode simply by pasting the link to his latest newsletter in this "wonder app" - no prompts or instruction of any kind needed. Here is the link to the newsletter itself - https://themediabrain.substack.com/p/googles-notebookllm-something-just
