What Meta and Anthropic really won in court | The Vergecast

It's already the heat of summer, and the news keeps coming. Nilay, David, and Jake start the show with a bunch of tech news, including the latest on Tesla's robotaxi launch, some updates on the Trump Phone, new devices from Fairphone and Unihertz, and Meta's shifting strategy for face computers. After that, The Verge's Adi Roberston joins the show to talk about two important AI lawsuits that were both decided this week — one involving Anthropic and the other involving Meta — and what this particular battle means for who will win the AI war. Finally, in the lightning round, it's time for another round of Brendan Carr is a Dummy, some huge news in the HDMI world, and the end of the Blue Screen of Death. #Vergecast #Technology #Podcast 00:00 Intro 00:10 Anna Wintour is Stepping Down from Vogue 04:10 AI, Copyright, and Tech Updates 04:48 Tesla Robotaxis and Safety Concerns 15:15 Trump Phone News 24:40 FairPhone and Modular Phones 34:13 Trump Phones vs. Titans 34:38 Xbox VR Headset Confusion 40:29 Meta's Smart Glasses Expansion 48:31 AI and Copyright Chaos 01:05:47 AI Legal Battles: A Landmark Victory or a Technicality? 01:06:26 The Role of Lawyers in AI Court Cases 01:07:50 The Future of Copyright Law in the Age of AI 01:12:45 The Scale Problem in AI and Copyright 01:13:15 The Romance Novel Community vs. AI 01:13:47 The Moral Dilemmas of Copyright Law 01:17:25 The Future of Creativity and Copyright 01:20:55 The Role of Private Equity in the Creative Industry 01:25:36 Brendan Carr is a Dummy - The FCC and Media Ownership Rules 01:30:08: This is David's Last Friday Show for a while 01:36:29 Microsoft's Black Screen of Death 01:39:28 Conclusion Subscribe: http://goo.gl/G5RXGs Like The Verge on Facebook: https://goo.gl/2P1aGc Follow on Twitter: https://goo.gl/XTWX61 Follow on Instagram: https://goo.gl/7ZeLvX Follow on TikTok: http://bit.ly/42VeCVU Watch The Vergecast on YouTube: https://bit.ly/40RFRkg The Vergecast Podcast: https://bit.ly/3WQDexZ Decoder with Nilay Pate
