UK arts and media reject plan to let AI firms use copyrighted material

The UK arts and media industry, including writers, publishers, musicians, photographers, movie producers, and newspapers, have rejected the Labour government's plan to create a copyright exemption for artificial intelligence (AI) companies to train their algorithms.
The Creative Rights in AI Coalition (Crac) representing various creative bodies, including the British Phonographic Industry, the Society of Authors, and newspapers such as the Guardian and Financial Times, stated that existing copyright laws should be respected and enforced.
The proposed system would allow AI companies like Open AI, Google, and Meta to train their AI systems on published works, unless owners actively opt out. Tech UK, an industry lobby group, supports a more open market, while objections have been raised by prominent British creatives, including Paul McCartney and Kate Bush.
The creative industries argue that the onus should be on generative AI developers to seek permission, obtain licenses, and pay rights holders if they want to train algorithms with the ability to create content.

Microsoft lays out reasons Windows 10 gamers should upgrade to Windows 11, but I can pick a few holes in these arguments

Microsoft is encouraging gamers using Windows 10 to upgrade to Windows 11.
AutoHDR mode, DirectStorage tech, Compact Mode for Game Bar, Dynamic Lighting, Windows 11 optimization are some major features which Microsoft says Windows 11 offers for gamers.
Auto HDR is a great feature for those with HDR monitors, while DirectStorage requires an NVMe SSD and is supported on about 20 games only.
Compact Mode for Game Bar is only useful for gaming handhelds.
Upgrading to Windows 11 doesn't have any downsides, either.
Windows 11 doesn't run games appreciably faster than Windows 10 in the main.
One compelling reason for upgrading to Windows 11 is for those having AMD Ryzen 7000 or 9000 processors that boost the speed of the CPU for gaming by around 10 percent.
Linux gaming is a bit of a minefield, albeit less than a few years ago.
Windows 10 will hit End of Life in October 2025.
Microsoft will continue promoting the upgrade to Windows 11 as next year progresses.

The unseen beauty of Antelope Canyon!!

Exploring Antelope Canyon is a treat. A group of five chose to celebrate a friend's birthday by taking a 13-hour tour. They chose the Whynn Hotel as their meeting point with plans to start at 5:00 AM on December 7, 2024. Unfortunately, one of the group members did not respond to calls, leaving the team with a choice to split into two groups and find the missing friend. Ultimately, everyone got together, but they missed the bus by merely five minutes. The team chose to explore Vegas with a hop-on and hop-off bus tour for the day. The birthday boy was generous enough to take responsibility for the missed tour and pay back all his friends, but the team refused the money. In the end, the group spent quality time together, taking group photos and making cherished memories.
The team's reaction to the missed bus: Even in tough times, the team stood by each other, taking timely decisions and acting swiftly, reflecting true leadership and excellent coordination. No one lost their cool to yell at someone or accuse someone of being late or not running, reflecting mutual respect and earned trust. The team's willingness to share the loss showed maturity and support.
The lessons learned from the missed bus situation: Vivek's ownership and accountability to quickly transfer the money are commendable. The crew's trust, respect, simplicity, ownership, and leadership showed great maturity.

Tikhnadhi Kamlakshya on Mastering Cloud Migration from Legacy to Ultra-Modern Systems

Enterprises are moving beyond basic cloud adoption toward ultra-modern systems that leverage AI technologies, automation software, and advanced integrations. Strategic cloud migration is vital, as business owners are likely to encounter challenges like compliance gaps and data loss.
Legacy systems rely on on-premise infrastructure and manual processes, making operations less efficient overall. Modern systems are cloud-based platforms designed to replace legacy systems and provide process automation and better scalability. Ultra-modern systems are significantly more advanced than modern systems, with cutting-edge technologies built into their architecture.
Tikhnadhi Kamlakshya, a senior manager at Citizens Bank with over two decades of experience, led many successful large-scale migrations across public and private sectors, including financial services and government entities.
Challenges in cloud migration include technical complexities, compliance and integration issues, leadership dynamics, and organizational resistance. To tackle these challenges, Tikhnadhi implemented a microservices framework and document automation and encouraged his team to get on board with the switch through strategic leadership.
Successfully migrating to a new ultra-modern system enabled efficient delivery of court invitation notices, balancing the traditional and digital communication needs of everyone involved. Tikhnadhi advocates for a human-centric approach to technology by providing teammates with the training and tools they need to navigate change confidently.
Cloud platforms should not just be tools, but collaborative ecosystems that enable businesses to respond quickly and dynamically to market shifts. Tikhnadhi envisions a future that will have cloud systems evolve towards hyper-automation & AI Integration that drive innovation, scalability & lasting impact for businesses.
