NBC News Top Stories | In Musk v. Altman case, judge warns lawyers that AI itself is not on trial by Shanshan Dong, Angela Yang

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

On the third day of Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers intervened to keep the focus on Musk’s claim that Altman betrayed the nonprofit origins of the company for personal profit, while rejecting Musk’s broader warnings that AI could cause humanity’s extinction. Musk, testifying that he contributed only $38 million of his pledged $1 billion and that he gave Tesla cars to OpenAI staff, demanded $134 billion in damages from OpenAI and Microsoft, arguing that the firm violated its founding charter by turning a charity into a for‑profit enterprise. Altman’s team countered that Musk never fulfilled his financial commitment and left after being denied control, and Musk affirmed he uses other AIs to validate his own but does not develop weaponized AI. The four‑week trial could shape the future of OpenAI’s flagship model, ChatGPT, and the broader AI industry.

What To Watch On YouTube Right Now – Part 133

Welcome back my readers, YouTube viewers and all others who followed this series of articles focused on YouTube videos worth watching.

Have you been searching for something fun or interesting to watch on YouTube? Do you feel bored right now and you crave for something to see on the world’s most popular online video destination?

I recommend you check out the following videos I found.

#1 The Ring Reaction Videos – When The Ring (an American remake of the 1998 film Ringu) was released in cinemas in 2002, it had a huge impact on many moviegoers as it scared them and made them think that Asian horror can be adapted by Western filmmakers to entertain a larger, English-oriented audience worldwide. In fact, The Ring sparked a wave of American remakes of established horror films from Asia. The movie also made Naomi Watts a movie star. There are viewers who enjoyed the subtle yet creepy approach to horror by the 2002 film and there are those who find it superior to the Japanese original. How The Ring impacts the following YouTubers through their reaction videos below is a must-see.

#2 Batman versus Predator Revisited – Back in the early 1990s, I saw issues of the huge crossover mini-series Batman versus Predator displayed on shelves on local comic book stores, and each one cost a lot of money! Looking back at the crossover, there definitely is a lot of things about it that justify the high cover price. Some comic book enthusiasts say that Batman versus Predator is the best crossover comic book story to feature the Predator while there are others who said that Batman is the perfect superhero to be matched against the sci-fi movie icon. To understand how Batman versus Predator came to be, watch the retrospective video below.

#3 Project Sylpheed Examined – First released in Japan in 2006, Project Sylpheed was a science fiction shooter game that was released by Square Enix exclusively on the Xbox 360 console. I always wanted to play that game’s English version (released in 2007) but I never had the opportunity to buy it. Project Sylpheed was the third game of its franchise and it was the successor to the original Silpheed game of the 1980s. Believe it or not, the game still looks great by today’s standards and the vibrant colors and stylish visual elements made it stand out nicely among 3D shooters. To see what Project Sylpheed is about and why is it still enjoyable to play, watch the video below.

#4 Ranting For Vengeance Slams Jon Bernthal’s Punisher And The Woke Mob – When I first think about the Punisher who first appeared in comics long ago, I think of a very hard-edged vigilante who wages a dangerous war against criminals on his own terms. In the 21st century, we now have a live-action Punisher who drifted away from his comic book legacy and woke Disney now fully dictates Marvel Comics. Along the way, the current Punisher actor Jon Bernthal is woke and supports the LGBTQ community and its agenda. Ranting for Vengeance recently posted a video slamming Bernthal’s Punisher and the woke mob, and you can find out more by watching it below.

#5 Rice Ball Craze In Japan – In Japan, rice balls are popular and there is nothing like the enjoyment of consuming rice with seaweed wrapping and ingredients mixed in. From time to time, rice balls get discounted and there is always an influx of buyers who pursue them with good taste and better value in mind. Even foreign tourists can take advantage of the discounts of rice balls. Watch and learn from the Nippon TV video below.

#6 Orion Pictures Revisited – When I was very young, there were some notables movies I saw that involved Orion Pictures in more ways than one. Some movies the Orion produced (or co-produced) that were memorable to watch include Caddyshack and Excalibur. Other memorable films distributed by Orion include Platoon, RoboCop, The Terminator, First Blood and The Silence of the Lambs to name some. Before Orion even started as a movie business, there were notable events in Hollywood history that led to its founding. Watch and learn from the retrospective video below.

Kyle Reese is interesting to me.
The opening scenes of The Terminator introduce a few very important themes. One: The future is a dreadful place full of death and destruction, and where humanity's sole goal of survival has a common opposition in the form of murderous machines. Two: Kyle Reese and The Terminator are both out of their element in the world of 1980s Los Angeles, both reasonably desperate, and both dangerous. Three: The Terminator looks a lot less uncomfortable than Reese. Reese is suffering physically and mentally; The Terminator is not. Reese is merely human.

There's a lot to be said for Linda Hamilton's Sarah Connor, and a lot that should be said for and about her. Her acting is excellent, her character arc interesting, and I like how she portrays a figured who rises to meet a challenge. Sometimes the most unexpected people will prove worthy of a position of importance. The story ultimately is about her, and I love that. She broke so many eggs just by being amazing.
But this is about Kyle Reese.

I showed my support worker this film, with very little prior context, continuing an informal project to fill out their missing cultural knowledge from a somewhat abusive and paradoxically sheltered childhood. (They really liked Casablanca and Network.) One thing that was interesting was their initial certainty that Kyle Reese was a villain, just like the Terminator was. Different, obviously, but similar in methods, and surely similar in intentions.

Kyle Reese is like a traumatized, cornered rat throughout the movie. Resourceful, tenacious, never cruel but always in fight or flight. He is plagued by flashbacks and nightmares very frequently.
Never cruel. Never vindictive. Sometimes even almost gentle, especially with dogs.
Always desperate, often a danger to others both out of a need to defend himself and a need to complete a mission of far more importance than any life except one.
He doesn't know nobody will listen to him. He does know he is not safe; he doesn't know how to become safe except by hiding, fighting and stealing for the few scraps of clothing, information and equipment he can get.
He doesn't know how to talk to a normal human being. He does know how to make a pipebomb.

He reminds me of myself.
Which is why I'm slowly lowering him into a boiling vat of estrogen to see what happens.

"Sarah Connor?"

One year ago today I posted this miniature Terminator scene I created using real lighting, figures and miniature sets.
