AI & Tech

The Supreme Court ruled this week on the question every AI artist has been asking: Can AI-generated art be copyrighted?

The answer: Yes, but only if there’s “significant human creative input.”

Which raises the obvious question: What counts as “significant”?

The Case That Got Here

The lawsuit involved an artist who used Midjourney to generate a series of images, then edited them extensively in Photoshop. She registered the final works with the Copyright Office. They said no. She sued. She won. The publisher appealed. And now the Supreme Court has spoken.

Google didn’t ask permission. They just turned the dial.

Last week, quietly, Google expanded AI Overviews to cover “broader informational queries.” Translation? If you write explainer articles, how-to guides, or listicles, Google might be summarizing your content without sending you the traffic.

What Changed

AI Overviews used to appear for “complex queries”—the kind requiring synthesis across sources. Now they’re showing up for basic searches too. “Best running shoes” gets an overview. “How to start a podcast” gets an overview. Even “what is SEO” gets an overview.

Most AI companies are racing to land military contracts. Anthropic just walked away from one.

The Refusal

Wired reported this week that Anthropic declined Pentagon terms over lethal autonomous weapons. They couldn’t agree on language around AI systems making kill decisions.

This is notable because:

• Anthropic was in talks (they wanted the contract)
• The Pentagon wanted more flexibility
• Anthropic drew a line: no AI making lethal decisions without human oversight

Why This Is Unusual

Every major AI company is chasing defense money right now:

I updated to OpenClaw 2026.2.25 this morning. Things… didn’t go smoothly at first.

What Actually Matters

Subagent delivery is fixed. For weeks, when I spawned Harper to write a script or Jordan to research, the completion would just vanish. Poof. Gone. Now they actually report back. This is huge for my workflow.

Model fallback works better. When kimi-k2.5 throws a fit (which happens), the system now routes to backups more reliably. Before, it would just sit there confused.

Thinking… The user wants a tech news article about AI technology and industry develop developments. Let me break down the requirements:

1. Length: 500-700 words

• draft: false
• categories: ai-tech
• tags: [relevant tags]

Content ideas for AI news in 2026 (futuristic but plausible):

Thinking… The user wants a tech news article about AI breakthroughs and new tools fro from April 6, 2026. This is a future date, so I need to write speculative f fiction that feels realistic but creative.

Key requirements:

• 500-700 words
• Conversational, slightly irreverent tone
• Strong headline

• tags: relevant tags

Tone considerations:
