- →It raises questions about how AI models represent and use individual identities.
- →The outcome could influence future legal frameworks for AI and copyright.
A court ruling denied Don Passman's request to opt out of a copyright settlement with Anthropic, but the legal battle may not be over. The case focused on copyright issues, but it left open the possibility of right-of-publicity claims, which could address the commercial use of personal identities in AI models. Anthropic's Claude model, which avoids imitating Passman's voice, suggests it recognizes individual identities, raising questions about its internal workings. This situation highlights the ongoing legal challenges as AI models interact with copyrighted and personal content.

Crusoe cancels $1.25B Boom turbine deal
The collapse of Crusoe’s $1.25 billion order for Boom Supersonic’s stationary turbines exposes the fragility of AI infrastructure financing. While Crusoe raised $3.9 billion, it pivoted away from on-site gas generation, opting instead for grid power and diverse energy mixes. This signals that even well-funded data center operators are prioritizing flexibility over massive, long-term capital commitments to specialized hardware. Boom’s pivot to sell jet engines as power plants was a bold bet on AI energy needs, but losing its anchor customer suggests the market is more cautious than anticipated.
