Here’s the kitchen sink for September 13, 2024 of ten stories that I didn’t get to this week – with another brand-new meme from Gates Dogfish!
Why “the kitchen sink”? Find out here! 🙂
The Kitchen Sink is even better when you can include a brand-new eDiscovery meme courtesy of Gates Dogfish, the meme channel dedicated to eDiscovery people and created by Aaron Patton of Trustpoint.One (which is a partner of eDiscovery Today!).

Here is the kitchen sink for September 13, 2024 of ten stories that I didn’t get to this week, with a comment from me about each:
New AI standards group wants to make data scraping opt-in: Yeah, good luck with that in an environment where companies operate under the “better to ask forgiveness, then permission” standard with our data. Nonetheless, the Dataset Providers Alliance has released a position paper outlining its stances on major AI-related issues.
FBI busts musician’s elaborate AI-powered $10M streaming-royalty heist: Interesting article. Michael Smith allegedly used AI to create hundreds of thousands of fake songs by nonexistent bands, then streamed them using bots to collect royalties from platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music. Prosecutors say his scheme ran for seven years. Wow. Clever – for a while, at least.
Apple’s Glowtime Event: Advancing AI with iPhone 16 Series and Beyond: Rob Robinson details the unveiling of the iPhone 16 series, which includes the much-ballyhooed A18 and A18 Pro chips to support Apple Intelligence’s machine learning capabilities.
How to Turn Your Old iPhone Into an A.I. Phone (and Skip the Upgrade): Of course, if you’re a poor schmuck like me who just paid for his iPhone 12 that he got three years ago, this NYT article tells you how to get similar features through other apps. The author (Brian X. Chen) suggests several apps that can give you similar capabilities. 🙂
AI ruling on jobless claims could make mistakes courts can’t undo, experts warn: Leave it to the state most known for legalized gambling to gamble on letting AI rule on unemployment claims. Here’s the problem – courts may not be able to undo AI mistakes. 😐
Avis Data Breach Exposes Critical Shortcomings in Corporate Cybersecurity: Avis is known for their slogan: “We try harder!” Apparently, not hard enough, as they faced a significant cybersecurity breach that exposed the sensitive personal information of nearly 300,000 customers. Rob Robinson breaks down the breach and its implications.
What is ‘model collapse’? An expert explains the rumours about an impending AI doom: Yet another article about how the increase of AI-generated data on the internet will eventually make the models “progressively dumber” until they collapse. At least now we have a name for it.
OpenAI reportedly in talks to raise at $150B valuation: And that’s not even their big news of the week – this is. Can we still call a company worth $150B a “startup”? 😉
The AI Risk Repository: A comprehensive database of risks from AI systems: MIT has developed an AI Risk Repository that has identified 43 AI risk classifications, frameworks, and taxonomies, from which 700+ risks were extracted into a living AI risk database that can be easily accessed, modified, and updated. Intriguing!
Is a Court-Ordered ESI Protocol a Trap?: Michael Berman writes about a case on the EDRM blog, where apparently Meta has learned nothing from the StubHub case on how to go about pushing to modify an ESI protocol when it becomes difficult or impossible to comply with. StubHub eventually figured it out, we’ll see if Meta does too. Even better is to figure out what you can and can’t do before agreeing to the ESI protocol. Putting aside my soapbox now. 😀
Hope you enjoyed the kitchen sink for September 13, 2024! Back next week with another edition!
