OpenAI offers 20 million user chats in ChatGPT lawsuit. NYT wants 120 million.
OpenAI asks judge to drastically limit NYT access to ChatGPT logs.

This is only true for some flavors of "big accounts."
A number of the people I follow with thousands of followers are ONLY on the #Fediverse and most of the rest are only here and on Bluesky. I routinely block people here and on Bluesky (and across the bridge) who pull in the sewage from X and dump it in either place.
I'm not really interested in following people that wa…

Stimulated Brillouin Amplification with Flying Focus
Material damage thresholds pose a fundamental limit to chirped pulse amplification (CPA) in high-power laser systems. Plasma-based amplification via stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) offers a damage-free alternative, yet its effectiveness has been hindered by instabilities that constrain interaction length. In this study, we report the first experimental demonstration of SBS amplification driven by a flying focus in a 3-mm plasma channel. The flying focus is generated using chromatic aberra…
