U.S. Copyright Office insists that copyright does not apply to works of art created by AI
The US Copyright Office has once again rejected an attempt to copyright a work of art created by an artificial intelligence (AI) system. Stephen Thaler attempted to copyright a work of art titled “Recent Entry into Paradise” by arguing in a second 2019 reconsideration request that USCO’s “human authorship” requirement is unconstitutional.
The work was created by artificial intelligence, which Thaler calls the “Creativity Machine”. Thaler applied for registration of the work done as “work for hire done for the owner of the Creativity Machine”.
However, the bureau said that the current copyright law provides protection only for “the fruits of intellectual labor” that are “based on the creative forces [человеческого] mind.” Thus, a copyrighted work “must be created by a human,” and the office says it will not register works “created by a machine or a simple mechanical process” that lack the intervention or creative input of a human author.
The agency said that Thaler was unable to provide evidence that “A Recent Entrance to Paradise” is the result of human authorship. He also failed to convince USCO to “depart from the age of copyright litigation”—in other words, to change the rules.
Thaler made similar attempts in several countries. In the UK, the patent application was rejected and the Court of Appeal upheld the decision. The European Patent Office rejected the applications because the inventor was not human. The same position was taken by the relevant authorities of Australia and Germany. However, last year a judge in Australia ruled that inventions created with the help of AI could be subject to patent protection. South Africa granted Thaler a patent for one of the inventions last year, noting that “the invention was self-created by artificial intelligence.”

A “completely silent” 1300W power supply. Cooler Master showed two new products, but only the youngest received a passive CO
Cooler Master brought power supplies to Computex that they claim are absolutely silent.
The younger model with a power of 750 W is really silent, because it simply does not have a fan. By the way, this is the company’s most powerful power supply with passive cooling.
There is also a 1300W PSU. It has a fan, but Cooler Master also calls it completely silent.
The secret to successfully cooling such powerful PSUs without too much noise lies in the use of an evaporation chamber. There are no other details yet, as well as no pricing data.
NASA’s SLS super-heavy booster is already over budget by $6 billion and six years behind schedule, according to a recent report.
A recent report generated by the NASA Inspector General’s review indicates that NASA’s spending on the Artemis program will reach $93 billion by 2025, including the $23.8 billion already spent on SLS through 2022.
Despite a successful first run earlier this year, the Inspector notes that the project involves additional costs and a further shift in the schedule. Moreover, if the existing problems are not resolved in time, this may jeopardize the entire mission of Artemis.
As for delays, out of the six years mentioned, five years of delay, and at the same time an additional almost $ 2 billion, fell on Northrop Grumman accelerators. The bottom line is that the SLS project initially involved the partial use of old equipment from the days of the Space Shuttle program. Of course, with the necessary upgrades. Northrop Grumman boosters were one such element.
The inspector blames the situation on the cost-plus pricing method and recommends switching to fixed prices. In general, NASA agreed with all eight of the inspector’s recommendations.

Exynos platforms will appear in a new type of device. Samsung to create SoC for mixed reality headsets
Samsung is going after Apple to release its mixed reality headset. The device will be released either at the end of this year or early next. There are no details about it yet, but it is reported that Samsung is also going to release its own Exynos single-chip systems for headsets.
Considering that these are only plans for now, the upcoming Samsung headset will apparently either rely on some foreign platforms or on existing Exynos SoCs.
However, new platforms for mixed reality headsets may not be entirely new. It is reported that Samsung has not yet decided whether it will develop these SoCs from scratch or simply adapt existing solutions.
