Me in a comment below why you clicked on this video and whether me baking fresh cookies a few minutes ago had anything to do with it. Everybody loves the smell of fresh cookies. I just thought Anyway, tech News Time Google has admitted in a court filing posted on Friday that the open web is already in rapid decline. Finally, someone said it as Google, of all people, as spotted by Jason Kint on Twitter. Google submitted the filing after crashing into a courthouse dressed in a hot dog costume and assuring everyone that like them, Google is just trying to find the guy who caused this rapid decline. Okay, Google's statement here reeks of just trying to get an even weaker punishment in its antitrust case, because the statement conflicts with everything else they've publicly said recently about how AI search isn't destroying the web by leading to less click throughs to publisher websites at all. And in fact, the web is thriving, according to Nick Fox, Google's Senior VP of Knowledge and Information. Pretty sure you have to be pretty smart to get that job. Probably won Jeopardy. At least a couple times. Move over Ken Jennings. I forgot I would not win Jeopardy. So it's jarring to hear Google say something that seems to agree with recent research saying that AI tools are negatively affecting traffic to publisher sites, decreasing the ad revenue they can collect and imperiling the already fragile economic model of the web. Now obviously Google doesn't want people to get the wrong idea here. As explained on Twitter by Google VP of Global Ads Dan Taylor, what Google meant to imply in the filing is that open web display advertising is in decline, not the open Web as a whole. The open web isn't going anywhere. It's just that the only people who will make any money on it is Google. Wait, wait, aren't they in charge of the display advertising too? Hope this helps. One and a half billion dollars. That's the amount that Anthropic just agreed to cough up in a first of its kind copyright settlement with authors Andrea Bartz, Charles Graeber, and Kirk Wallace Johnson. Because writing a book is so hard and they just deserve it. It was like a tip, but also because they initiated a class action against the company, claiming it used tons of pirated books to train its Claude chatbot. So many tokens. Bling bling bling. The settlement is particularly interesting because back in June, a US District judge ruled that using legally obtained books to train AI software is not actually a violation of US Copyright law, which implied that you could just buy one copy of a book and train your AI on it and it's fine. But in the settlement filing, the plaintiffs state that if approved, this landmark settlement will be the largest publicly reported copyright recovery in history, setting a precedent for the future of training large language models using just about anything they can find online, as long as they pay for it. Because the big takeaway here is that training AI on copyrighted stuff you actually bought might still be fair use. But pirated books? Well, that's gonna be a billion and a half dollar oopsie Damage to subsea cables in the Red Sea is wreaking havoc on Internet performance across Asia and the Middle East. On Saturday, multiple critical undersea fiber links decided to cosplay as spaghetti just on their own near Jed, Saudi Arabia, triggering widespread latency spikes in India, Pakistan and the uae. Microsoft confirmed that its Azure cloud services were also affected. Though traffic wasn't halted, many users experienced noticeable delays as Microsoft rerouted network traffic via longer alternative paths. It's actually worse, I think going the long way around. Status updates later indicated that Azure services in the Middle east have been restored by though ongoing high latency lingers for some users. Cable operators and monitoring group NetBlocks reported that telecom networks across the UAE also felt the pinch, with disruptions continuing as repair efforts ramp up. The worst part of all of this is that repair timelines are still up in the air, partly because the Red Sea isn't exactly the friendliest neighborhood for weekend cable fixing parties right now.

I found them. Back in March, Neuralink tried trademarking telepathy and telekinesis, promising a future where you could move stuff with your mind or whisper secrets without opening your mouth. Elon should try thinking, but last week the US Patent and Trademark Office denied those applications. Turns out they were snagged way back in May 2023 and August 2024 by Wesley Berry, founder of a lucid dreaming startup called Prophetic, which is building a matrix style headset you wear while sleeping to trigger lucid dreams, sex dreams you can control, or any other kind of dreams. Riley. Still, neuralink's own filings make it clear they want telepathy on the market, a brain computer interface for thought based communication and device control. But if you ask me, maybe Elon should try trademarking empathy instead. You know people have feelings. And that one's also taken. Amazon's Starlink competitor Project Kuiper is finally showing off what it can do, hitting speeds of up to 1.28 gigabits per second in Test 3 last week. That's faster than a lot of ground based ISPs, but you know they have to go through the ground. It's a little harder than space. Riley. It's space. It's space. And now it's not just a lab demo either. JetBlue has signed on as the first airline partner. Starting in 2027, about a quarter of their fleet will get Kuiper powered wi fi, which JetBlue says will be free for passengers only two years. Yes, finally streaming Netflix at 35,000ft without watching the buffer wheel do laps. Although that can be entertaining when there's nothing else going on. Just use it to focus when there's a baby crying. Microsoft has open sourced Bill gates and Rick Whalen's 1976 version of 6502 Basic, the code that once powered icons like the Commodore 64, Apple II and VIC 20. With nearly 7,000 lines of hand tuned assembly now free on GitHub free lines of assembly, researchers can dig into the DNA of early personal computing, seeing how software was optimized when every bite mattered. They have souls for historians. It's a rare glimpse into Microsoft's scrappy garage era roots for Redditors, it's a great way to see Bill Gates sense of humor in the Assembly. Comments he's such a little, you know, he's a little sassy guy, Very rich and globally hollow. Silksong is basking in very positive Steam reviews, but in China, not so much. Over 14,000 negative reviews have dragged the simplified Chinese version of the game's rating down to mixed. Why? Players say the translation makes it read less like a game and more like your buddy's D and D campaign notes after three Red Bulls if they were tossed into an Anime girl dating simulator Sounds fun, but one localization expert even compared it to a high school drama club's Elizabethan improv. Imagine trying to fight bosses while everyone's talking like Shakespeare Again, doesn't sound horrible. Team Cherry quickly apologized, promising to fix the translation in the coming weeks. But thanks to Valve's updated review policy, the fallout is mostly quarantined to China. Global players still see very positive, so the angry reviews are less world ending bomb and more localized explosion. Speaking of free things, which is a segue leftover from when there was a different story there. Come back on Wednesday for more tech news.
