Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace—what does that mean for the future of technology, venture capital, business, and even our understanding of ourselves? Award-winning journalist and writer Anil Ananthaswamy joins us for our latest episode to discuss his latest book Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI . Anil helps us explore the journey and many breakthroughs that have propelled machine learning from simple perceptrons to the sophisticated algorithms shaping today’s AI revolution, powering GPT and other models. The discussion aims to demystify some of the underlying mathematical concepts that power modern machine learning, to help everyone grasp this technology impacting our lives–even if your last math class was in high school. Anil walks us through the power of scaling laws, the shift from training to inference optimization, and the debate among AI’s pioneers about the road to AGI—should we be concerned, or are we still missing key pieces of the puzzle? The conversation also delves into AI’s philosophical implications—could understanding how machines learn help us better understand ourselves? And what challenges remain before AI systems can truly operate with agency? If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

Vondran Legal® - Sports Infringement Law. Understanding the legal damages you may face for having publicly displayed a boxing match at your commercial establishment without the proper commercial license.There are THREE LEVELS OF DAMAGES you need to be aware of when you are being accused of illegally intercepting a TV signal, and broadcasting and publicly displaying a commercial UFC fight, or other fight in your commercial establishment, without the proper commercial license.LEVEL ONE DAMAGESStatutory damages of 1-10k.LEVEL TWO DAMAGESThese damages are designed to punish and deter. For Cable display, up to 60k. For satellite, up to 100k. Advertising on facebook, twitter, or instagram can really do your business in here.LEVEL THREE DAMAGESIf the Plaintiff wins in a lawsuit (ex., Joe Hand Promotions, J&J Sports, or G&G Closed Circuit - who appears ready to file a slew of lawsuits in Omaha Nebraska federal courts), these are the damages they will likely seek.Vondran Legal® has been handling these cases for years, and our goal is to settle your case for a LOW FLAT RATE (one time) legal fee that avoids the abuses inherent in firms that bill. In this niche area of federal law, there is no substitute for specific legal experience. Call us at (877) 276-5084 if you received a demand phone call or what we call the "love letter" demanding you pay up.All these levels can really add up. We have your back.

VondranLegal.com - PPV Boxing Piracy Defense. Call (877) 276-5084. We have helped many bars, restaurants and business owners defend and settle these cases.Receiving a demand letter from G&G Closed Circuit Events, Inc. for illegally broadcasting a commercial pay-per-view boxing event is a serious matter that requires immediate attention. G&G Closed Circuit Events is a company, similar to Joe Hand Promotions, that holds exclusive commercial distribution rights for certain sports broadcasts, including boxing and mixed martial arts events. The demand letter will usually detail the specific event that your restaurant allegedly broadcasted without a proper commercial license. The letter often includes:The date and time of the event.Information about how G&G obtained evidence of the unauthorized broadcast (such as through an investigator who visited your establishment).Claims under the Federal Communications Act (FCA), specifically sections 605 and 553, which prohibit unauthorized reception and exhibition of cable or satellite signals.Defending Against the AllegationsIf you choose to contest the claims, you’ll need to hire an attorney experienced in handling these types of cases. Possible defenses might include:Proving that you had a valid commercial license at the time of the broadcast.Demonstrating that the broadcast was unintentional (though this can be difficult to prove).Arguing that the event was broadcast by mistake, perhaps by a third-party contractor without your knowledge or consent.However, courts tend to be strict in these cases, as the unauthorized interception of PPV signals is usually considered intentional and difficult to "accidentally" accomplish.

VARA artists rights lawsuit against Vermont Law School loses on appeal 5:28

Vondran Legal® - VARA Copyright Law Firm - Kerson vs. Vermont Law School - the Underground Railroad Mural. If you have a legal issue involving art law, paintings, scultpures or illustrations, call us at (877) 276-5084.The Visual Artists Rights Act (VARA) is a United States copyright law that was enacted in 1990. It was introduced to protect visual artists and their artwork from destruction, mutilation, or modification that could harm an artist's honor or reputation. VARA grants certain rights to artists, including the right to prevent the destruction, distortion, or modification of their artwork, and the right to be credited as the author of their works.The history of VARA can be traced back to the early 20th century when modern art movements like Cubism and Surrealism emerged. These groundbreaking art forms challenged traditional notions of representation and pushed the boundaries of artistic expression. However, artists often faced significant criticism, and their works were sometimes destroyed or modified without their consent, leading to infringement of their artistic integrity.In response to such incidents, artists and art collectors began advocating for legal protection of an artist's moral rights, which had been recognized in some European countries. Moral rights refer to an artist's non-economic rights, such as the right to claim authorship and to prevent the distortion or modification of their work. The concept of moral rights was enshrined in the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works in 1928, which established international copyright standards. Support the show…

Vondran Legal® Free Speech Law Firm [California | Arizona] Call us at (877) 276-5084.To prevail in a free speech deprivation case under 42 U.S.C. 1983 in the Ninth Circuit, a plaintiff must typically prove the following elements:1. The plaintiff was engaged in protected speech or expression.2. The defendant, acting under the color of state law, deprived the plaintiff of that protected speech.3. The deprivation of the plaintiff's protected speech was intentional or willful.4. The deprivation caused an injury or harm to the plaintiff.Additionally, it is important to note that the Ninth Circuit has adopted a four-part test to analyze whether a government action violates the First Amendment:1. Is the action capable of chilling protected speech or expression?2. Does the action in fact chill protected speech?3. Is the action reasonably related to a legitimate penological or governmental interest?4. Are there alternative means to exercise the protected speech?If the plaintiff can establish these elements, they may prevail in their free speech deprivation case under 42 U.S.C. 1983 in the Ninth Circuit. However, it is essential to consult with an attorney to fully understand and navigate the specific legal requirements in a particular case.For more information visit us at FreeSpeechFirm.com Support the show…

Fair Use Findings Episode #1 The Mattel Barbie case 5:03

Attorney Steve® Fair Use Parody Cases - The Mattel Barbie case found to be a fair use for Defendant.This is general legal information only and not legal advice. "A parody is a "literary or artistic work that imitates the characteristic style of an author or a work for comic effect or ridicule." Id. at 580, 114 S.Ct. 1164 (quoting AMERICAN HERITAGE DICTIONARY 1317 (3d. 1992)). For the purposes of copyright law, a parodist may claim fair use where he or she uses some of the "elements of a prior author's composition to create a new one that, at least in part, comments on that author's works." Id. The original work need not be the sole subject of the parody; the parody "may loosely target an original" as long as the parody "reasonably could be perceived as commenting on the original or criticizing it, to some degree." Id. at 580-81, 583, 114 S.Ct. 1164.That a parody is in bad taste is not relevant to whether it constitutes fair use; "it would be a dangerous undertaking for persons trained only to the law to constitute themselves final judges of the worth of [a work]." Id. at 582-83, 114 S.Ct. 1164 (quoting Bleistein v.Donaldson Lithographing Co., (1903))."If you have a copyright fair use issue, contact us at AttorneySteve.com or call us at (877) 276-5084.
