🎭 OpenAI's ChatGPT Ghibli-style image generator creates copyright controversy

• Users have been delighting in transforming photos and memes into Studio Ghibli-style artwork using ChatGPT's new image generator tool, with even OpenAI CEO Sam Altman changing his social media profile to a Ghibli-style portrait.

• The trend raises serious ethical concerns as Studio Ghibli founder Hayao Miyazaki, 84, has previously expressed disgust with AI animation, stating in 2016 that he would "never wish to incorporate this technology into my work" and calling it "an insult to life itself."

• Legal experts question whether OpenAI has proper licensing for training its model on Ghibli's work, with attorney Josh Weigensberg noting that while "style" generally isn't copyrightable, specific elements from films like "Howl's Moving Castle" or "Spirited Away" appearing in AI outputs could be problematic.

🤖 NVIDIA unveils comprehensive "three computers" strategy for physical AI development at GTC 2025

• NVIDIA's approach combines three interconnected systems: one for training robot brains with real and synthetic data, a simulation computer powered by Omniverse, and deployment hardware for real-world implementation.

• The company is releasing not just models like GR00T N1, but also synthetic data, simulation frameworks, and training blueprints—making them an essential infrastructure layer for physical AI while emphasizing "safety is born in simulation."

• NVIDIA announced cross-industry partnerships with General Motors (manufacturing), GE Healthcare (autonomous imaging), and Uber Freight (logistics), positioning itself as the potential "operating system for the physical world."

🧳 Google rolls out new travel planning features across Search, Maps, and Gemini for summer vacation prep

• Google's AI Overviews in Search now create travel itineraries for entire regions or countries (not just cities), allowing users to search queries like "create an itinerary for Costa Rica with a focus on nature" and export recommendations to Docs, Gmail, or save them as custom lists in Maps.

• The company is introducing hotel price tracking similar to its existing flight alerts, automatically notifying users via email when prices drop substantially for hotels matching their selected filters and location preferences.

• Google Maps can now scan your phone's screenshots to automatically identify and organize travel destinations you've saved, displaying them on a map for easy planning, while Gemini's free Gems feature lets users create a customized AI travel expert for destination ideas and packing suggestions.

📱 WhatsApp gains key support in €225 million EU privacy fine challenge

• An adviser to Europe's highest court, CJEU Advocate General Tamara Capeta, has backed WhatsApp's challenge against a €225 million ($242.2 million) fine imposed by Ireland's Data Protection Commission in 2021.

• WhatsApp's legal argument centers on claims that the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) overstepped its authority by ordering the Irish regulator to increase the penalty amount for alleged mishandling of user data.

• The court adviser's opinion that "WhatsApp's challenge of the EDPB decision is admissible" could be significant, as the Court of Justice of the European Union follows its advisers' recommendations in approximately 80% of cases.

💰 Nvidia to anchor CoreWeave IPO with $250 million investment at $40 per share

• Nvidia is planning to be a cornerstone investor in cloud infrastructure provider CoreWeave's initial public offering, targeting a purchase at $40 per share (down from the initially filed range of $47-$55), according to a source familiar with the matter.

• CoreWeave, which rents access to computers powered by Nvidia's AI chips, has seen explosive growth with its 2024 revenue jumping more than 700% to $1.92 billion, though the company posted a net loss of $863.4 million.

• The cloud provider is heavily dependent on just two customers, with Microsoft accounting for 62% of its revenue last year, while Nvidia already owns approximately 6% of the company and CoreWeave operates 32 data centers housing over 250,000 Nvidia GPUs.
