🌐 Elon Musk vs OpenAI heats up in court as Tesla CEO targets ChatGPT-maker's shift to for-profit model

Elon Musk just filed a preliminary injunction to stop OpenAI’s planned transition to a fully for-profit business structure, escalating the ongoing legal battle and marking the fourth legal action from the former co-founder and AI rival.

Insights for you:

  • The injunction seeks to prevent OpenAI from converting its structure and transferring assets to preserve the company’s original ‘non-profit character.’

  • Multiple parties are targeted, including OpenAI, Sam Altman, Microsoft, and former board members — citing improper sharing of competitive information.

  • The action also points to OpenAI’s ‘self-dealing,’ such as using Stripe as its payment processor, in which Altman has ‘material financial investments.’

  • Musk also alleges that OpenAI has discouraged investors from backing its competitors like xAI through restrictive investment terms.

  • OpenAI called Musk’s fourth legal action a “recycling of the same baseless complaints” and “without merit.”

Adobe
😲 Adobe unveils AI-powered sound generation system

Adobe researchers just revealed MultiFoley, an AI system that automatically generates synchronized post-production sound effects for videos through text prompts, reference audio, or existing sound clips.

Insights for you:

  • The system produces high-quality 48kHz audio that precisely syncs with on-screen action, achieving a synchronization accuracy of just 0.8 seconds.

  • MultiFoley was trained on a combined dataset of both internet videos and professional sound effect libraries to enable full-bandwidth audio generation.

  • Users can transform sounds creatively — for example, turning a cat's meow into a lion's roar — while still maintaining timing with the video.

  • MultiFoley achieves higher synchronization accuracy levels than previous models and rates significantly higher across categories in a user study.
