TAKING “GHOST”-WRITING TOO LITERALLY

Drake releases new song with AI Tupac and AI Snoop Dogg

Drake is taking “ghost”-writing too literally and using AI to recreate the voices of the late rap legend, Tupac , and Snoop Dogg.

In his new diss track, Taylor Made Freestyle, nearly 50% of the song is AI-generated. The question is, how did he do this legally?

This is bigger than it seems as it makes the first time a major recording artist potentially paid to acquire the voice rights from a late artist’s estate and a living artist, and use them in their own song 👻.

Alternatively, he could have used Tupac’s likeness illegally - which is why Drake hasn’t released his new track on Spotify yet.

WELL WELL WELL, LOOK WHO CAME CRAWLING BACK…

Bitcoin Halving pushes miners to AI

The “Bitcoin Halving” is an event where Bitcoin mining rewards are cut by half. Faced with reduced rewards, Bitcoin miners are moving to AI. They’re transforming their mining rigs into pseudo-AI rigs, renting out compute to businesses to train their AI models.

But it’s not going to be easy.

This change would involve upgrading their infrastructure and buying completely new equipment - despite both Bitcoin mining & AI training both using GPUs. We’ll see if they can successfully make this change 👀

Guide to the current generation of humanoid robots (2024)

Between Tesla’s Optimus and Figure’s 01, humanoid robot investment is all the rage in 2024 - and too many to keep track of. So here’s a handy reddit post about all the latest robots that will end us all help us with cleaning dishes 🤖🧼.

It’s a huge deal, considering Amazon has over 750,000 active robots working in their warehouses. For perspective, that’s more than 4x the employees that work at Ford.
