Warner Bros Discovery has filed a federal lawsuit accusing Midjourney of pirating Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Scooby-Doo, and Bugs Bunny to train its AI models.
The details:
Copyright Infringement → Warner says Midjourney used its works to train image/video tools
Profit Motive → Claims protections were lifted to boost features
Case Scope → Includes DC, Hanna-Barbera & Cartoon Network characters
Industry Trend → Follows similar lawsuits by Disney & Universal
Why it matters:
With 21M+ users and $300M revenue at stake, the case could set a precedent for how copyright law applies to generative AI.
OPENAI

Fidji Simo, OpenAI’s CEO of Applications, announced a new Jobs Platform to connect employers with AI-skilled workers, plus certifications built directly into ChatGPT.
The details:
Jobs Platform → Matches employers with AI-skilled candidates, with local gov & SMB tracks
Certifications → Walmart + partners help validate AI fluency at multiple levels
Big Goal → Certify 10M Americans in AI fluency by 2030
White House → Initiative aligns with U.S. AI literacy push
Why it matters: Bridges the AI talent gap while giving workers career-ready certifications.

OpenAI researchers say LLMs often hallucinate because benchmarks reward guessing instead of honesty.
The details:
Hallucinations = confident but false answers
Accuracy-only evals push models to “guess”
GPT-5 reduces errors but can’t eliminate them
Fix → penalize wrong answers, reward “I don’t know”
Why it matters: Smarter evaluation could cut AI misinformation — and make users trust AI more.
