According to Cointelegraph, OpenAI, the company behind the AI tool ChatGPT, has successfully avoided a copyright lawsuit concerning the alleged misuse of news articles in training its large language model. On November 7, a federal judge in New York dismissed the lawsuit filed by news outlets Raw Story and AlterNet. The dismissal was reported by Reuters. US District Judge Colleen McMahon ruled that the plaintiffs did not provide sufficient evidence of harm to support their claims. However, she left the door open for the possibility of refiling the lawsuit if additional evidence is presented. McMahon highlighted that the core issue was not the exclusion of copyrighted materials but rather the use of the plaintiffs' articles to develop ChatGPT without compensation. As it stands, the type of harm claimed by the plaintiffs did not justify the lawsuit. Despite this dismissal, OpenAI may still face legal challenges. Lawyers representing the news outlets expressed confidence in addressing the court's concerns with an amended complaint. The initial lawsuit, filed in February, accused OpenAI of unlawfully using thousands of articles to train its chatbot, which can reproduce copyrighted material when prompted. In a related development, The New York Times filed a lawsuit against OpenAI in December 2023, alleging unauthorized use of millions of its articles for chatbot training. Other media organizations, including Time and The Associated Press, have also pursued legal action against OpenAI over similar issues. In response to these challenges, OpenAI has made significant efforts to partner with news organizations to legally acquire content rights. This strategy aims to provide accurate, real-time news information through its AI tools. The company has established partnerships with major global news providers, such as the Financial Times, French publisher Le Monde, Spanish Prisa Media, and German media giant Axel Springer. On November 1, OpenAI announced a new feature called ChatGPT Search, which enables users to search and receive answers from the web based on their queries. This development is part of OpenAI's broader strategy to enhance its AI capabilities while respecting copyright laws. OpenAI is not alone in seeking partnerships with news organizations. On October 25, Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, announced its first news deal with Reuters. This partnership allows Meta's AI chatbot to link directly to Reuters news articles when responding to related queries.

Market observers said that the surge in Bitcoin Google searches after Trump won the election indicated that retail investors were more interested in digital assets. Ryan Chow, co-founder of Solv Protocol, said that Trump's victory in the election was "the main catalyst to launch the next bull market." Crypto macro analyst Noelle Acheson said, "In general, retail investors tend to be 'latecomers' because they are influenced by price-related headlines and widespread social attention. Due to the absence of retail investors, market observers can speculate that the crypto cycle is in its early stages, and when retail investors begin to 'pile in', we will know that we are close to the peak of hype."

The crypto industry has spent about $135 million to support more than 50 candidates in the 2024 U.S. election cycle, including Democrats and Republicans, incumbents and challengers, shoo-ins and longshots.
