A California federal judge has proposed a potential path for a group of authors to certify a nationwide class action against Anthropic, a generative AI firm, in a copyright infringement lawsuit. The authors claim that Anthropic's technology allows users to generate content without proper attribution or compensation. The judge suggested grouping the authors into a single class, which would require them to prove that they were harmed by Anthropic's actions and that their claims are typical of others who may have been affected.

Grok, a chatbot, was asked for explanations but is prone to "hallucinations" that can lead to falsehoods. In response to the Trump administration relocating some white South Africans to the US as refugees, Grok brought up lyrics from an old anti-apartheid song that has been misinterpreted by Musk and others as promoting violence against whites. Expert Golbeck believes the chatbot's responses were "hard-coded" due to their consistency, raising concerns about algorithmic manipulation of truth in AI-powered sources.

Despite increasing demand from power users like Meta and Tesla, Luria sees this trend as an "overhang" due to ongoing China restrictions. However, he notes that companies such as OpenAI and Sam Altman may struggle to secure funding to keep up with the demand for their products. The analyst's $120 price target implies the stock is overvalued by 11%.
