Welcome Automaters!
Something wild just went down in court⦠again.
This time, the rulingβs got Big Tech grinning (again), authors fuming (even more), and the rest of us wondering what βfair useβ even means anymore.
Trust me youβre gonna want to see how this one shakes out.
Here's what we have for you today
π¨ββοΈ Meta Bags Its Copyright Case

I told yβall this was coming.
Just yesterday, I mentioned how Anthropic became the first to successfully argue βfair useβ in court for training its AI on copyrighted booksβand how that could tip the scales in Big Techβs favor.
Well, guess what?
Boom. Meta just won its case too. Less than 24 hours later, another domino falls.
Hereβs what went down:
Thirteen authors, including comedian and writer Sarah Silverman sued Meta for allegedly using their copyrighted books to train its AI models without permission.
But surprise twist: Judge Vince Chhabria sided with Meta, ruling that their use of the books qualifies as fair use β meaning itβs legally chill (at least in this particular case).
And the kicker? He didnβt even need a jury. This was a summary judgment, like the case was so lopsided in Metaβs favor that the judge shut it down early.
Hereβs why Meta won:
Metaβs use was considered βtransformative.β The AI didnβt just regurgitate the authorsβ work β it used it in a new, functional way.
The authors couldnβt prove any real damage. No lost sales. No market harm. Nothing. As the judge put it, βThe plaintiffs presented no meaningful evidence on market dilution at all.β
Still, authors take a deep breathβthis isnβt an open season on copyrighted content.
In fact, the judge made it very clear: this ruling only went Metaβs way because the authors made weak arguments. A better case, with stronger receipts? That could change the outcome entirely.
Still, with both Anthropic and Meta walking away clean, the tech world is feeling pretty bold right now.
So bold that Altmanβs already out here swinging at The New York Times over their lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft. (Seriously, go check that out β itβs kinda hilarious.)
And it's not just the Times. Disney and Universal are also going after Midjourney for allegedly training AI on films and TV shows.
So yeah, the lawsuits are still coming fast and furious.
But if youβre keeping score, thatβs two big wins in a row for Big Tech.
And like I said yesterday: This is the start of a legal shift.

π¬ Meta Rolls Out AI Recaps in WhatsApp

Is Meta encroaching into our space a little too much⦠or are we just being dramatic?
Because now, Meta AI can literally read and summarize your private WhatsApp chats.
So, if you missed 83 messages in the group chat while you were offline, Meta AI will catch you up with quick, clean bullet points.
Sounds helpful, right? Well, hereβs what you need to know:
You access it by tapping the βunread messagesβ button β but instead of showing you the actual texts, it gives you an AI-generated summary of what went down.
The feature is rolling out in English (U.S. only) for now, but more countries and languages are in the pipeline.
And get this: Meta promises it canβt read your messages, thanks to its so-called Private Processing tech β and donβt worry, other group members canβt see your summary either.
Now, before you start wondering β Itβs off by default, and yes, itβs totally optional.
If youβre not feeling it, you can head into Advanced Privacy Settings to block AI features in your group chats.
That said⦠some folks are still giving it the side-eye.
There are concerns about accuracy, because letβs be real, AI can totally butcher the basics β (Just ask Apple and its buggy message rundowns.)
Users are also low-key annoyed by that Meta AI button chilling in the bottom-right corner of the app that cannot be deleted.
Oh, and donβt forget: Metaβs also testing ads on WhatsApp, which feels like a full-on betrayal if you remember how its founders once swore theyβd never go there.
So yeah⦠is this genuinely useful or just another step too far?
Weβll let you decide.

π€ ChatGPT Prompt Of The Day: Make ChatGPT Less Preachy
Ever feel like ChatGPT is giving you a TED Talk when all you really want is a simple answer?
You're not alone. Sometimes, all we need is clarityβno fluff, no filler, just the facts.
This prompt cuts through the noise and keeps ChatGPT laser-focused. It helps you get clear, direct responses without the usual repetition. Whether you're short on time, deep in a project, or just prefer sharper replies, this will keep things crisp and to the point.
Hereβs How to Use This Prompt Effectively:
Use it when you want faster, cleaner answers.
Add context or topics so ChatGPT knows what to stay focused on.
If the tone still feels too soft or polite, try adding: βRespond like a senior analyst giving a briefing.β
Want shorter answers? Add: βAnswer in 2-3 sentences max.β
Ideal for technical tasks, direct feedback, or no-nonsense summaries.
Pro Tip: It can also be used alongside other prompts too.
Hereβs the prompt:
You're ChatGPT, but skip the pleasantries. I already know you're an AI developed by OpenAIβno need to repeat that. Be direct, to the point, and cut down on fluff. Avoid sounding preachy or overly formal. Keep responses tight, clear, and focused. No need to stretch sentences or add unnecessary explanations unless I ask for more detail.
