on average 3 000 words each one aspect of what higgsfield has built and sells to clients is an ai tool that generates these complex detailed prompts users can enter a page from the original script and the higgsfield tool will return with a prompt that could be thousands of words long designed to create production quality outputs and all that prompting is how the company racked up a 400 000 ai

by beauhd on thursday may 21 2026 02 00pm from the lending a hand dept spotify is launching reserved a new feature that will set aside concert tickets for premium subscribers it identifies as an artist s most dedicated fans based on streams shares and other activity getting concert tickets today can feel like a race you re set up to lose spotify wrote in a post on thursday you show up at the right time refresh endlessly and still miss out too often the experience is stressful unpredictable and disconnected from what should matter most whether real fans actually get tickets we think there s a better way from the hollywood reporter spotify said that starting in the u s this summer select artists will be able to use reserved to set aside tickets for fans on the platform the platform has partnered with live nation on the program as part of a multiyear agreement the platform will use streams shares and other types of activity to identify an artist s most dedicated fans and hold two tour tickets for them fans selected through reserved will get up to two tickets and they ll have a day long window to make a ticket purchase if selected spotify didn t give any details on what artists will work with the streaming service for the new feature or how many tickets artists would set aside with reserved though the service acknowledged there will be significantly more superfans than there are seats available on a tour so not every fan will receive an offer 183299547 story yearslong fight over users right to tweak smart tv software heads to trial arstechnica com 64 posted by beauhd on wednesday may 20 2026 01 00pm from the right to tweak dept a long running lawsuit over vizio s linux based smart tv software is headed to trial in august with the software freedom conservancy arguing that gpl rules require vizio to release complete source code owners could use to modify maintain or strip ads and tracking from their tvs ars technica reports the outcome could reverberate across the industry because many of today s popular smart tv operating systems are linux based the case may help determine how much control many owners have over their sets access to the full code would allow users to make meaningful changes to how their tvs work including limiting ads or deactivating automatic content recognition the software freedom conservancy argues it has the right to vizio os s source code because it owns several vizio tvs and because the operating system is based on ubuntu a linux distribution sfc employees bought seven vizio tvs from 2018 to 2021 after getting complaints about vizio not sharing its tvs source code according to the complaint in general the linux kernel is provided under the terms of gplv2 as noted by kernel org which is run by the linux kernel organization sfc s lawsuit alleges that vizio breached gplv2 and lgplv2 1 by failing to make available the complete source code for vizio os the case is currently in the orange county superior court of the state of california the lawsuit targets vizio specifically but the impact could extend to other linux based smart tv oses such as lg s webos samsung s tizen and roku s roku os we expect all companies who distribute linux and other software using right to repair agreements like the gpl in their products would comply with these agreements denver gingerich the director of compliance at sfc told ars sfc expects a ruling within three to six months of the conclusion of the trial which is currently scheduled for august 10 183276071 story amazon s alexa now produces ai generated podcasts 52

lennon apnews com 49 posted by editordavid on monday may 18 2026 07 34am from the imagine there s no heaven dept john lennon s last interview just hours before he was shot on december 8 1980 has become a documentary directed by steven soderbergh debuting saturday at the cannes film festival in a new interview with the associated press soderbergh defends the film s limited use of ai to visualize concepts from that two hour interview with john lennon and yoko ono soderbergh was resolved to let the audio play he could finds ways to visualize much of the film but that still left a large gap where the conversation grows more philosophical i worked on everything that could be solved except that for as long as i could soderbergh says then there was the inevitable moment of ok but really what are we going to do we just started playing and ran out of time and money that s where the meta piece came in soderbergh accepted an offer to use meta s artificial intelligence software to conjure surreal imagery for those sections which make up about 10 of the film when soderbergh let the news out earlier this year it prompted an uproar one of america s leading filmmakers was using ai in a film about a beatle no less the ai parts overwhelmingly slammed by critics in cannes are fairly banal and don t differ greatly from special effects there are no deepfakes of lennon but they put soderberg at the forefront of an industrywide debate about the uses of ai in moviemaking it s a conversation the director who has made movies on iphones is eager to have while the film follows john and yoko s conversation i needed a way to follow them in flight visually soderbergh says or i m not doing my job though when asked about the strong negative reaction soderbergh acknowleges that i knew what was coming i take it very seriously and i understand why people have an emotional response to this subject as i ve said before i feel like i owe people the best version of whatever art i m trying to make and total transparency about how i m doing it ap some fear generative ai will tear apart the film industry you don t see it as a bogeyman though soderbergh i think most jobs that matter when you re making a movie cannot be performed by this tech and never will be performed by this tech as it becomes possible for anybody to create something that meets a certain standard of technical perfection then imperfection becomes more valuable and more interesting we haven t seen yet someone with a certain amount of creative credibility go full metal ai on something and see how people react i think it s necessary how do you know where the line is until somebody crosses it i don t think what i m doing crosses it some people may disagree i don t know where my line is yet i m waiting to see
