I've got some actually incredible news.
Generative AI slop cannot be copyrighted
under US law. This is massive. Uh
Facebook is also apparently um spying on
people on the toilet with their smart
glasses. Oh dear. Chat GPT and Open AI
are losing millions of subscribers. And
the fallout from this is actually
insane. And it's it concerns data
privacy and absolutely everything. And
also just straight up lying. It is
insane. We've got some more details from
Anthropic as well. There is tons to
cover in this video, but we're going to
start with the copyright stuff first
because this is awesome. So, check this
out. AI generated art can't be
copyrighted after Supreme Court declines
to review the rule. Now, this is
massive. This means that in the US, you
cannot copyright any art that has been
created with a generative AI model.
Obviously, these generative AI models
have been trained on actual artists work
and they're just regurgitating different
forms of it and different guises of it.
It doesn't matter what the AI model is
doing. None of it can be copyright
protected, which means it's going to be
very difficult to generate something out
of one of these slog machines and then
try and sell it. It's going to be very
hard and also you won't be able to
protect whatever IP you've just created.
Now, this is absolutely amazing. I love
this because I AI has got a lot of
legitimate uses. What is a wholly
illegitimate use is the mass theft of
artists work and then just spewing out
absolute slop. Whether it's music,
video, um, images, anything you can
think of that should be created by a
human. These models cannot organically
create them. They just steal and they
just combine. That's all they do. And I
hate it. It is one of the worst uses of
AI that we see everywhere and it
proliferates everything we do and I hate
it. So this is a massive milestone. This
is really, really, really, really good.
We'll go over this article. So, this is
from Emma Roth over on The Verge, and
she says, "The US Supreme Court has
declined to hear a case over whether AI
generated art can obtain a copyright as
reported by Reuters. The Monday decision
comes after Steven Faler, a computer
scientist from Missouri, appealed a
court's decision to uphold a ruling that
found AI generated art can't be
copyrighted. In 2019, the US copyright
office rejected Thala's request to
copyright an image called a recent
entrance to paradise on behalf of an
algorithm he created. The copyright
office reviewed the decision in 2022 and
determined that the image doesn't
include human authorship, disqualifying
it from copyright protection. This is
great. This is actually great. After
repealed the decision, the US court
judge Barl A. Howell ruled that in 2023
that human authorship is a bedrock
requirement of copyright. That ruling
was later upheld in 2025 by a federal
appeals court in Washington DC. As
reported by Reuters, asked the Supreme
Court to review the ruling in October
2025, arguing it created a chilling
effect on anyone else considering using
AI creativity, which is just crazy,
right? This isn't this this that is not
using AI creatively. This is, if
anything, it's creatively bankrupt
people typing a prompt into a machine
and going, "Wow, I've created this
awesome spaceship design. This must be
art." It's not. It's not. Trust me,
mate. It's not. You know what I mean?
Anyway, last year, the copyright office
issued new guidance that says AI
generated artwork based on text prompts
isn't protected by copyright. The
Supreme Court's decision follows several
attempts by Fowler to to copyright and
patent the output from his AI systems.
The US Federal Circuit Court similarly
determined that AI systems can't patent
inventions because they aren't human,
which is the US patent office reaffirmed
in 2024 with new guidance stating that
while AI systems can't be listed as
inventors on a patent, people can still
use AI powered tools to develop them.
The UK Supreme Court made a similar
determination in a case brought forward
by Fowler. So honestly, this is good
news, right? I mean I I I think that key
element of human authorship being
required I think is key. Now obviously
when you start looking at the I guess
the last line of that article um where
the they're saying like look you can
still use AI tools to help assist this
but it must be fun fundamentally made by
human. I think this is going to be a
very murky area that we're going to need
to work out uh as a as a species to be
honest but I think this is a good sign.
Right. So
it's one sort of win in the fight
against generative AI slop art. So, are
you worried about your data security and
privacy when it comes to using AI
assistants? Well, let me introduce Lumo.
This is Lumo, the private AI assistant
built by Proton that you can trust. Lumo
is an alternative to big tech to the
likes of ChatGpt, Gemini, and Copilot.
And you, the user, have total control
over your data. Lumo is also built and
it is based in Europe which means there
is no US government oversight. It means
there are no privacy issues that could
come from big tech surveillance because
it is outside of US jurisdiction. Lumo
has four key factors that make it stand
out. No logs policy, zero access
encryption, private AI that you can
trust and it is based in Europe. So the
no logs policy simply means Proton keeps
no logs of your chat and none of the
data is used to train any kind of
advertisements. You control the data.
Not even Proton can see the data. Lumo
also runs on transparent open-source
models. So again you can check this and
verify. Now I don't think you guys need
me to tell you this but AI is just going
to get bigger. So there is a serious
security concern here when it comes to
your privacy and your data. Do you
really want all of your data being held
by companies like OpenAI, by Google,
your intimate data when you're chatting
to these models when there are
alternatives you can speak to that are
fully private like Lumo? I think this is
pretty much a no-brainer. So, Lumo is
the best way to protect your privacy. Go
over to proton.me/stylosa,
create a free account, and check this
out for yourself. There is a link in the
video description below as well. Thank
you to Lumo from Proton for sponsoring
today's video. So, we've got to talk
about chat GPT and Sam Alman and OpenAI
because this is getting mental. So,
Forbes is reporting 1.5 million users
have left Chat GPT. Now, this article
just goes on to say like, you know, this
is it just basically quickly briefs the
situation and explains that you can very
easily copy your memory over from
ChatgPT whether it's going to be to
Anthropic or whatever. You can see here,
look, click on your profile icon in the
bottom left corner, select settings from
the pop-up menu that appears, click data
controls, click the export button that
appears uh alongside the export data
option in the bottom of the screen and
follow the on-creen instructions. Um,
there is also a system over on Claude
where you can import your memory because
of course if you've been talking to
these AI bots for a long time, um, it it
kind of gets to know you and and it
understands the type of responses you
want, whether if you're using it for
work purposes or whatever. Uh obviously
just starting a completely fresh account
might be a bit jarring but actually you
can just transfer them across. But again
the big takeaway from this article is
this 1.5 million users have left. This
is because of the major gaffs that Sam
Alman has been making especially in
regards to the department of war
contract. So talking of the department
of war contract right remember remember
what Sam said now read the article. This
is from Bloomberg and it says, "Alman
tells staff, Open AI has no say over
Pentagon decisions." This is after he
said, "No, no, no. We won't let them um
use our tools for mass surveillance and
autonomous weapon systems. It has to be
legal within the law." And then he says
this, "Well, we ain't got no decision."
You've got to remember as well, and I've
said this before and I'll say it again
and I'll keep saying it. The very same
day he supported Dario from Anthropic
saying I support your position, he then
took over his contract and will let them
do whatever he want they want with his
AI model. This guy is insane. This just
this is absolutely insane. We'll read
their AI takeaways because I always find
this quite funny.
OpenAI chief executive officer Sam Alman
told employees that the company doesn't
get to make the call about what defense
department does with its artificial
intelligence software.
The defense department will listen to
OpenAI's expertise about the
technologies applications but does not
want the company to express opinions
about whether certain military actions
were good or bad ideas.
Doesn't this sound like Doesn't this
sound like you're just Doesn't Doesn't
Doesn't this sound like Just give us
your AI system. We're going to do
whatever we like with it. You can go out
in public and say, "Oh, yeah, we don't
like uh mass surveillance or fully
autonomous weapons, fully autonomous
kill chains." Um, but we're just going
to use it for that anyway. So, you we're
going to tell you that. We don't want
your input as well. We don't need to say
that's a good or bad decision. And uh
here's some money.
This Sam Orman guy is an idiot. I keep
saying this now. I feel like I'm getting
quite aggressive towards this, but this
is just crazy.
Orman said, "You don't get to make
operational decisions. You do not get to
make operational decisions." And is
continuing to push for the Defense
Department to abandon its designation of
Anthropic as a supply chain risk. So,
it's just crazy, isn't it? It's like,
yeah, you can use my [ __ ] for anything,
but I'm going to try and still stand up
for Anthropic, but all of this doesn't
really matter cuz he doesn't really
care. He's already now becoming
embedded. So, come with me over to the
Wall Street Journal because again, the
fallout continues. and OpenAI are losing
staff as well as a result of this. So,
OpenAI CEO Sam Alman defends Pentagon
work to staff cause backlash really
painful. OpenAI CEO Sam Alman defends
his or defended his decision to allow
the Pentagon to use its tools for
classified work, fielding questions from
staff at an all hands meeting Tuesday
about the principles behind the
decision. Open AI announced its defense
department deal on Friday, hours after
defense secretary Pete Hexf designated
rival Anthropic, a supply chain risk, a
move rarely used against a US company
after backlash against the potential for
OpenAI's deal with the Pentagon to allow
for mass surveillance. The company
changed its agreement to explicitly
state that domestic surveillance isn't
allowed. But then remember, he says, "We
don't get a saying what they use our
systems for."
Orman said that while he didn't regret
signing a deal with the defense
department, he wished he hadn't
announced a decision so quickly, telling
staff that it looked opportunistic, no
[ __ ] [ __ ] and not united with the
field.
According to remarks viewed by Wall
Street Journal, his remarks echoed a
memo he shared with staff and on X
Monday in which he said the deal looked
opportunistic and sloppy. Again, no
[ __ ] Like, it's insane. And the guy was
saying, "I stand with my competitor on
this. It's an ethical issue." And then
the hours later, "Fuck them. We'll take
the contract." Crazy. A ground swell of
AI researchers at the company and across
Silicon Valley spent the past few days
criticizing Alman and the company for
what they saw as capitulation to the
Pentagon by essentially agreeing to a
deal that allowed AI to be used in all
lawful cases. Some publicly peppered uh
the CEO with questions on X while
employees made their case on OpenAI's
Slack channel. Anthropics Claude
overtook Chat GPT is the most popular
app in Apple store for the first time.
Many Open AAI employees had called for
the company to sign a deal that
explicitly banned the use of its
technology for mass surveillance and
fully autonomous weapons. Anthropic
previously rejected the agreement that
OpenAI
sorry accepted it had been unusual in
opposing some of the Trump
administrations policies. Orman said in
the all hands meeting that it had been
an unpleasant few days to try so hard to
do the right thing and get so absolutely
like personally crushed for it. And I
know this is happening to all of you
too. So I feel terrible for subjecting
you to this. It's really painful. What
the [ __ ] You know what I mean? What the
[ __ ] Holy [ __ ] I think this was an
example of a complex
But the right decision with extremely
difficult brand consequences a very
negative PR for us in the short term.
No, I don't think it is short term. I
don't think this is originally.
Originally I thought it's going to be
hard but like to get traction for this.
Then you started seeing things like
quick GPT popping up and I think what's
happened is you know again it's that
cliche thing. It's that mask off moment.
Sam Alman is showing that he is just
doesn't care. He will say one thing and
do completely the opposite. And he's
done it in such a public way here. I
think it's actually broken through into
the mainstream and he's he's [ __ ] in the
bed. Basically, that's what's going on
here. News caught the owner of Wall
Street Journalist uh content licensing
partnership with OpenAI. So, at least
they've given a bit of disclosure there.
So, I mean, are they being critical?
We'll see. Open Air's Friday
announcement blew open a long simmering
debate about AI researchers, many of
whom come from academic backgrounds um
about whether they can be tr can trust
business leaders to responsibly deploy
their technology. Open AAI employees
Pepman during the Tuesday meeting with
questions about the boundaries of the
agreement and the implications of
working with the defense department.
Orman said the government was willing to
give OpenAI influence over how its
technology was deployed. But remember,
he's just literally said they we ain't
got no decision. We we've got no input
in what they do and they've just said we
don't want it. we don't want your input
and that he wanted his company to have a
seat at the table in shaping future
decisions. We have built a technology
that is going to be the be the
fundamentally most important tool for
the government and governments around
the world. He said a strong US military
had been a great benefit to all of
humanity over the last 250 years. Alman
said adding that he respects that the
military gets to make decisions. Clearly
the military has done things that I
extremely disagree with and I am sure
will do more in the future. So the guy
like you can't make this guy upright.
just says both things at the same time.
Like what? This is mental.
In the meeting, Ortman said that OpenAI
was looking at at a contract to deploy
on all North Atlantic Treaty
Organizations classified networks. An
OpenAI spokeswoman later said Alman
misspoke and that the NATO opportunity
was for unclassified networks.
Representatives for NATO didn't respond
to requests for comment. I mean like you
have to like deploying these systems
across all like all of NATO militaries.
I mean when they fully don't know what
they're doing as well just seems insane.
Open AAI has largely embraced President
Trump's domestic AI strategy since Trump
took office. The company has announced
large investments with the
administration to build data centers
across the country. Open AI president
Greg Broman and his wife donated 25
million to a Trump aligned super PAC uh
committee last year and are spending
millions more to promote his AI agenda
in the midterm elections. Well, well,
well. Anthropic's week-long feud with
the Pentagon over the startup's effort
to limit the agency's ability to use the
technology for mass domestic
surveillance and autonomous weapons
created an industry firestorm over how
AI is using the military and who should
call the shots. After Claude played a
role, you see, we'll get on to Claude
again in a minute, but after Claude
played a role in the January military
operation that captured Venezuelan
President Nicholas Maduro, an anthropic
employee asked Palanteer uh as a
Palanteer counterpart how Claude was
used. The journal previously reported
defense department officials found out
and were upset. People familiar with the
matter said Anthropica has said it was a
routine call between partners. Emil
Michael, the under secretary of defense
for research and engineering, said
Tuesday at an event hosted by venture
firm Anderson Horowitz in Washington
that a a chill goes up your spine when a
company asks questions like that.
The soul of their model, their
constitution,
which is not the US constitution, can't
be dictating our command and control
environment, telling generals and war
fighters what to do and not to do and
and not to do. Michael said, "If you
don't believe in the system, as
imperfect it is, then what do you
believe in?" Michael said strikes in the
ran over the weekend were also planned
with the involvement of anthropics cord
models the journal reported.
So I don't even like I don't even know
what to say to be honest with Sam Alman.
It's just crazy. It's like he wants to
say everything all of the time come
across like he's doing this he's doing
that but actually he he does the exact
opposite. And this is this is an
extremely untrustworthy individual to be
running a company like OpenAI. Now, I
know most CEOs are generally
untrustworthy individuals, but the way
Sam Alman conducts himself, the way this
is doing brand damage to Open AI, it's
got to be a worry, right, for people
invested in that and all of that stuff.
To me, who gives a [ __ ] You know what I
mean? But it's just insane to see the
way this guy operates. So, talking about
the way this guy operates, look at this.
It's damage control GPT 5.3 instant in
chat. GPT is now rolling out to
everyone. More accurate, less cringe.
And I was like, "Hold on, less cringe.
Are they saying their older model was
cringe?" Like, what what are these guys
doing? I mean, that's how I'm reading
this. It's like our old model was cringe
that you were paying for
again. It just seems cra like I don't
think these guys know how to market
their stuff. It's great. Yes. Yes. Not
just um instant. What about 5.4 major
model update? And I like what this guy's
put in case of massive cancel
subscriptions. Break glass most likely
generated with chat GPT as well that
image. But yeah, they're just trying
anything. So this is Max Schwarza. Now
I'm going to say um this is something
which happens a hell of a lot. These AI
researchers, AI scientists, AI
engineers, they move around all of these
companies all of the time. They are some
of the highest paid jobs available. They
are on incredible contracts. Um, but
they move around all the time. You can
see that Max, he was uh the VP of
research and head of post training at
OpenAI. Well, he says, "I've decided to
leave Open AI. I'm incredibly proud of
all the work I've been part of here from
helping create the reasoning paradigm
with milliona" and goes on. But I think
the news here is this is just a major
guy stepping away, which is interesting.
There's no direct attack in this on open
AI or I don't believe in what they're
doing and all of this stuff, but the
timing. Yeah. Know, it is suspect, isn't
it? So, this is again absolute comedy
gold. These guys are terrible with
communication. Like look at this, right?
So, Gnome Brown, this is research and
reasoning at OpenAI.
um puts a nice post up says no uh we
will not be deploying to NSA and other
department of war intelligence agencies
for now. Uh so there's time to address
potential surveillance loopholes through
the democratic process. Now we go down
to the bottom here and you'll see Sam
Alman with this is internal memo that he
posts right and look at the look at the
look at the community note in an all
hands meet with OpenAI employees on
Tuesday. CEO Sam Alman said his company
doesn't get to choose how the military
uses technology, which we've covered in
this video from the Bloomberg article.
This is the opposite of what Sam Alman
is claiming in this post.
So again, you know, you've got Gnome
saying, "No, no, no. They won't be
deploying this and we're going to
address potential surveillance
loopholes." But then we've got, "No, no,
no, no. Actually, the Department of
Defense can do what they like with our
system." So, I'm just going to be
honest. They just can't be trusted,
right? anyone with any kind of uh
following of the recent news, anyone
watching this video, anyone interested
in AI in any kind of level beyond just
using it to generate a funny picture of
themselves or the cats or the dogs or
whatever, they're probably now becoming
aware that Open AI is a little bit
shitty. And should they really be using
their systems, maybe they're going to be
looking at other competitors. So, of
course, we've seen Anthropic do really
well. Claude rushing up to rank one on
the app store just because of all this
absolutely negative terrible I mean
well-deserved negative PR that open AAI
has thrust upon itself but but remember
it's painful for them and and for Sam.
So if you want to get worried right I
mean Washington Post reports anthropics
AI tool claude central to US campaign in
Iran amid a bitter feud advanced AI
technology is identifying targets in
Iran and quickly prioritizing them
supporting the massive military
operations carried out by the US and
Israeli forces. I thought they were
cutting all ties with with Anthropic.
Apparently not. We know they've got a
six-month um runoff period where they're
trying to move their systems over, but
this just shows you how even right now
these systems are so integral to these
military campaigns. Now, this is a big
worry for Anthropic though because, you
know, while we can sit here and go,
"Yeah, they're doing well on the app
store, they have been deemed a supply
chain risk, which means they can't work
with any American government body
effectively." Now, CNBC reports this.
Defense tech companies are dropping
Claude after Pentagon's anthropic
blacklist. A number of defense tech
companies are telling employees to stop
using Claude and to switch to other AI
models following the defense
department's ban last week. This is in
no way reflected a perceived shortcoming
of Claude. Alexander Harstik, managing
partner of J2 Ventures, said regarding
companies in his portfolio making a
switch. While the Trump administration
says it has blacklisted anthropic, most
of its messaging has come through social
media rather than official channels. So
the official channels note, the thing to
be aware of here is um is this legal?
Has there been all of the required
legal, you know, bits and bobs put
together to make this actually happen?
Is it just the administration and Trump
and Hexth and who else ever just making,
you know, claims out there, we're not
going to use this. Get it out of our
system. Now it's it is deemed a supply
chain risk and so I'm sure whatever the
legal uh systems are that need to be in
place will get put in place. But the
issue for Anthropic here is Claude
obviously powers a lot of different AI
tools and if they can't work with the
government that's going to affect them.
Now remember I'm not sitting here going
Anthropic are great whoever else is
great but this is clearly going to
affect them in a negative way. Um so I I
mean it's probably a little bit of a
worrying time for Anthropic. On the
other side they are generating more
money now from their business to
consumer side rather than their business
to business or their business to
government side which clearly has been
damaged in the United States. So I just
I just want to say I [ __ ] hate these
things, right? I hate these things. The
worst stuff on social media are those
videos where people are walking around
with these smart glasses and speaking to
people who don't realize they're being
filmed and trying to get them into
compromising situations to then get
views. It is [ __ ] horrific. Them
people should be banned off those
platforms. But this is shocking. Like,
so this is Endgadget and they're
reporting Meta's AI display glasses
reportedly share intimate videos with
human moderators. The company's terms of
service allow AI annotation by workers
in Kenya and elsewhere. Users of Meta's
AI smart glasses in Europe may be
unknowingly sharing intimate video and
sensitive financial information with
moderators outside of the block.
According to a report from Sweden's
I can't I can't speak Swedish, but
whatever. Doug Blet Doug Betett I can't
say it whatever released last week
employees in Kenya doing AI annotation
told the journalists that they've seen
people nude using the toilet engaging
sexual activity along with credit card
numbers and other sensitive
informations. What the hell the hell?
What? What? I heard you liked co-pilot
and Microsoft. Well, check this out. So
Microsoft is rumored to be planning
launch of new modular Windows 12
operating system with a floating taskbar
later this year and it's going to be
absolutely injected with AI. Now there
has been some discussion on this
potentially being a subscriptionbased
operating system probably tied to your
co-pilot subscription. So now you can't
just use Windows, you're going to have
to pay monthly because you're going to
get all of these fantastic AI
sloppification systems that Microsoft is
known for. Now the thing is we're not
sure and I'm definitely not sure. I've
not seen any confirmation on this. I
think it's just rumors at the moment uh
if it's going to be a subscriptionbased
system, but I think irregardless of any
rumors, whatever the next version of
Windows will be will be absolutely like
full of co-pilot like you would not
believe. I want to leave the video with
this though. Uh so this is a a nice
summary of Sam Alman and this will kind
of get you into the uh will give you an
idea of the person right so George Puh
says this
Sam Alman was fired by his own board his
co-founder Ilia left his top researchers
left to start anthropic his head of
alignment quit he dissolved the safety
team in its replacement he converted a
nonprofit into an 850 billion forprofit
he removed safely from the mission
statement His employees begged him to
stand with Anthropic. He said he would.
That night he took the deal. They
refused. Then announced it on X like a
victory lap. And you still think this
man is building AI for all humanity. So
there we go. I think actually some
decent like news today. The fact that
the uh copyright laws look like they're
going to at least protect uh human
created uh content or allow it to be
copyrighted where where completely
generated AI stuff won't be, which is
good. And but apart from that, yeah,
we're still seeing a lot of fallout from
this Open AI situation from Sam Orman
from Anthropic, and I think it's just
getting worse. Where this goes, who
knows? All right, guys. Thanks for
watching today's video. Let me know what
you think about this in the comments
below. And if you've got any meta smart
glasses, I'd put some tape over the uh
the cameras, and I'd do it right now.
All right, guys. I'll catch you on the
next video.
