UK reverses course on AI copyright position after backlash |
https://www.engadget.com/ai/uk-reverses-course-on-ai-copyright-position-after-backlash-175630732.html?src=rss

Chalk up a win for creative artists against AI companies On Wednesday the UK government abandoned its previous position on copyrighted works It s currently working on a data bill that if unaltered would have allowed AI companies like Google and OpenAI to train models on copyrighted materials without consent Artists and other copyright holders would only have been offered a mere opt out clause After significant backlash the UK backed off from that position We have listened Technology Secretary Liz Kendall said on Wednesday However the government s new stance is well not a stance at all It currently no longer has a preferred option about how to handle the issue Still backpedaling from its previous position is viewed as a win for artists UK Music CEO Tom Kiehl described the decision as a major victory while promising to work with the government on the next steps Elton John and Dua Lipa spoke out against the government s previous stance Photo by Kevin Mazur Getty Images for Elton John AIDS Foundation Kevin Mazur via Getty ImagesLast year some of Britain s highest profile artists objected to the government s position Sir Elton John and Dua Lipa were among those speaking out Even Sir Paul McCartney weighed in warning that the AI industry could rip off artists and lead to a loss of creativity You get young guys girls coming up and they write a beautiful song and they don t own it and they don t have anything to do with it McCartney told the BBC in And anyone who wants can just rip it off The truth is the money s going somewhere somebody s getting paid The government will now weigh its options taking the time needed to balance the wishes of artists and the tech industry We will not introduce reforms to copyright law until we are confident that they will meet our objectives for the economy and UK citizens it wrote in a report This means protecting the UK s position as a creative powerhouse while unlocking the extraordinary potential of AI to grow the economy and improve lives Any reform must ensure that right holders can be fairly rewarded for the economic value their work creates and that they are protected against unlawful and unfair use of their work It must also ensure that AI developers can access high quality content This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

Microsoft will finally let you turn off Quick Resume for individual games |
https://www.engadget.com/gaming/xbox/microsoft-will-finally-let-you-turn-off-quick-resume-for-individual-games-174639730.html?src=rss

Microsoft is rolling out a number of Xbox Series X S updates to those on its Xbox Insiders program and one of them has been requested by the community for years You ll soon be able to disable the Quick Resume feature for specific games meaning they ll boot up fresh each time you launch them As a reminder Quick Resume is a feature that Microsoft introduced with its current generation of consoles It lets you suspend a number of games simultaneously so they re running in the background even when the console is turned off When you want to return to a game that supports Quick Resume it ll drop you back in exactly where you left it within a few seconds often even when it s been months since you last played that game It s a pretty neat feature and still impressive more than five years since the Series X S launched But over the years players have discovered that Quick Resume isn t ideal for every title particularly always online games When you take these out of their suspended state they ll often shout at you for letting them disconnect forcing you to manually close the game down properly and then relaunch it Other games just don t seem to get on with it for a variety of other reasons You can manually close any game you want at any time but it takes a few more button presses than Quick Resume so it s easy to forget The latest Xbox update finally addresses this letting you turn off the feature on a game by game basis by selecting quot More Options quot and then quot Manage Quick Resume quot on a game tile That way you can ensure it s only enabled for single player titles in which the ability to instantly pick up where you left off is very appealing It s a change that has gone down well with ex Xbox icon Larry Major Nelson Hryb who said on X that he first requested it five years ago when still employed by Microsoft Love this I filed a feature request to make Quick Resume per title in Great to finally see it happen ーLarry Hryb Gamer Emeritus 📱 ️🖱️🎮 majornelson March Microsoft is also adding more customization options to the Xbox dashboard in the upcoming update You ll be able to create custom background colors rather than having to select one of the existing color options while the amount of Groups you can add to your Home screen has been increased from two to These can be reordered in the same way you reorder individual game tiles Select Xbox Insiders can start using the new features now before they re eventually made available to everyone This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

The Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer is filled with MCU cameos |
https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/tv-movies/the-spider-man-brand-new-day-trailer-is-filled-with-mcu-cameos-170215452.html?src=rss

We just got our first trailer for Spider Man Brand New Day the next big Marvel film This is the fourth installment led by Tom Holland and follows the multiversal shenanigans of Spider Man No Way Home I m about to get into some spoilers for those still working through the MCU catalog No Way Home ended with the entire world forgetting about the existence of Peter Parker so this new movie will deal with the fallout from that His whole support system is gone though it looks like he still checks in on besties MJ and Ned from time to time Peter Parker may be lonely but he s not alone in the film He s teaming up with the Punisher who is still played by Jon Bernthal after returning to the role in Daredevil Born Again In the comics Spider Man and the Punisher are long time work buddies and occasional sparring partners As a matter of fact Frank Castle made his introduction in a Spider Man comic that was published in Bruce Banner also shows up in the trailer potentially as Parker s professor Mark Ruffalo is returning to the role but we don t have any confirmation that he ll turn into the Hulk It s worth pointing out that this is the regular human Banner and not the hybrid version that s been popping up in recent MCU projects The trailer even highlights an iconic Spider Man villain Michael Mando is playing Scorpion which is a pretty deep MCU cut The character was teased all the way back in Spider Man Homecoming The footage also shows Spidey battling ninjas that look suspiciously like the Hand who were last seen in The Defenders on Netflix This lends credence to rumors that Daredevil could be appearing in the film We don t have all that long to wait Spider Man Brand New Day premieres in theaters on July This is the final MCU film before the long awaited Avengers Doomsday which hits cinemas in December This article originally appeared on Engadget at |
