As AI moves at breakneck speed, publishers gear up for a clash with Google and Microsoft


“Just Bard it”….not as catchy. Last week Google released its ChatGPT rival, Bard, as the chatbot race heats up (#AI-of-the-tiger). But Google expressed caution with the release, warning “things will go wrong,” and hasn’t integrated Bard into its search engine (unlike Microsoft, which launched a new CGPT-fueled Bing and 365 apps). Google’s cautiousness may be warranted: media publishers are gearing up for a showdown with Microsoft, Google, and OpenAI over their bots, The Wall Street Journal reported.

·       Facebook = no longer media’s biggest threat. In 2019, half of Americans got their news from FB, and publishers wanted compensation for lost ad revenue and traffic.

·       Now it’s AI bots. As you’ve probably heard, large language models are trained on a massive amount of text data. That includes copyrighted articles from the web.

·       Media execs are demanding compensation for use of their content in AI-generated responses. CGPT has been known to plagiarize and tweak human writing.

CGPT feels a connection… Last week OpenAI announced that CGPT can now browse the web to pull info from after 2021 (in some cases). That could pose an existential threat for news outlets. Publishing execs have started examining how much their content has been used to “train” bots, and are said to be exploring legal options, led by the publishing trade group News Media Alliance.

·       News Corp. CEO Robert Thomson said, “Clearly, they are using proprietary content — there should be, obviously, some compensation for that.”

·       “Fair use” law allows portions of copyrighted material to be used without permission in certain cases (think: news reporting, scholarly reports).

·       In the past, techies like Facebook and Microsoft have struck deals to pay publishers for news featured on their platforms. While OpenAI has leaned on fair use, it said it has also paid for rights to certain content.

THE TAKEAWAY

Moving faster than your problems can backfire… Rapid-fire AI releases show that tech titans are taking an “ask for forgiveness, not permission” approach. Industries haven’t yet had time to digest issues that could arise (picture: educators scrambling to detect cheating), from bias to misinformation to copyright infringement. But when issues catch up to the innovation, it could lead to a backlog of problems all at once.

Mortgage Rates Tick Down

MCLEAN, Va.--Mortgage rates moved slightly lower this week, with the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaging 6.56%, Freddie Mac reported. “Mortgage rates are at a 10-month low,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist. “Purchase demand continues to rise on the back of lower rates and solid economic growth. Though many potential homebuyers still face affordability challenges, consistently lower rates may provide them with the impetus to enter the market.” The 30-year FRM averaged 6.56% as of Aug. 28, down from last week when it averaged 6.58%. A year ago at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 6.35%. The 15-year FRM averaged 5.69%, unchanged from last week. A year ago at this time, the 15-year FRM averaged 5.51%, Freddie Mac said. ____________________________________________ Check out NCOFCU's additional features: First Responder Credit Union Academy Podcasts YouTube Mini's Blog Job Board

Wendelville Fire Chief Andrew Pilecki re-elected to FASNY board

Andrew Pilecki, the current fire chief of Wendelville Volunteer Fire Company, has been re-elected to the board of directors of the Firefighters Association of the State of New York. Pilecki has been a member of the fire service for more than four decades, including the past 22 years as a responder with the Wendelville company. Previously he was an active member of Columbia Hook and Ladder Co. He’s also a former assistant director of emergency management for the City of North Tonawanda. FASNY directors serve five-year terms of office. During his first term, Pilecki was instrumental in supporting the association’s pandemic response, championed fire company recruitment and retention efforts, and worked to amplify the needs of Western New York’s volunteer fire service at the state level, according to FASNY. “I’m honored to be re-elected and to continue advocating for the men and women who volunteer their time, risk their safety and serve their communities across the state,” Pilecki said. “...

Many CUs Likely to Face New Operating Challenges "Michael Moebs"

04/08/2024 09:04 pm By Ray Birch LAKE FOREST, Ill.—The trend lines don’t lie: Financial institutions charging high overdraft fees will likely face operating challenges in the near future and may even be forced to merge if they don’t follow the market trend of lowering their OD charge. Michael Moebs, economist and chairman of Moebs $ervices, is offering that forecast following his company’s new overdraft study, which has found overall net OD revenue for 2023 was down 5.7%, with banks dipping by 8.1% to $31.4 billion, thrifts falling by 28.6%. and credit unions actually increasing net revenue 2.2%. The study further reveals the m...
