It's been about 18 months since Netflix started enforcing its password-sharing ban, and the move was highly profitable for the company. While some subscribers canceled their accounts in anger once the streamer announced the measures, many others chose to keep their Netflix subscriptions. Back in June 2023, I told you that Netflix would not do anything to you while enforcing its password-sharing ban. No one had to worry about being blocked or banned. Instead, you get Netflix household verification requests from time to time. You then have 15 minutes to complete the checks for people outside your household sharing your passwords. Netflix has now ramped up its game when it comes to enforcing household verification checks in an effort to further punish people for sharing their passwords. Netflix appears to be much more aggressive with its checks, making it almost impossible to share passwords outside of your household. Continue reading...

OpenAI's upcoming AI-powered video maker, Sora, appears to have leaked. At least, this is what X account @legit_rumors posted. According to them, HuggingFace found OpenAI Sora's access through Discord channels and shared some of the use cases of this AI video maker tool online. While OpenAI hasn't given Sora a proper release date, some people have had access to this tool for a while. According to the company, Sora is an "AI model that can create realistic and imaginative scenes from text instructions. Sora can generate videos up to a minute long while maintaining visual quality and adherence to the user’s prompt." However, only a few visual artists, designers, and filmmakers have access to this tool, which allows the company to "gain feedback on how to advance the model to be most helpful for creative professionals." That being said, it seems hackers have leaked OpenAI's Sora as a protest. Those people believe they're being lured into "art washing." They write: "Hundreds of artists provide unpaid labor through bug testing, feedback, and experimental work for the program for a $150B valued company. While hundreds contribute for free, a select few will be chosen through a competition to have their Sora-created films screened – offering minimal compensation which pales in comparison to the substantial PR and marketing value OpenAI receives." This is why, they say they are "releasing this tool to give everyone an opportunity to experiment with what ~300 artists were offered; a free and unlimited access to this tool." They continue: "We are not against the use of AI technology as a tool for the arts (if we were, we probably wouldn't have been invited to this program). What we don't agree with is how this artist program has been rolled out and how the tool is shaping up ahead of a possible public release. We are sharing this with the world in the hopes that OpenAI becomes more open, more artist-friendly, and supports the arts beyond PR stunts." These are some of the examples of what OpenAI's Sora can do at the moment: https://twitter.com/legit_rumors/status/1861431242639470835 https://twitter.com/legit_rumors/status/1861434539916001523 https://twitter.com/legit_rumors/status/1861441186491150672 https://twitter.com/legit_rumors/status/1861442114690658461 The platform has been offering the ability to use Sora through the HuggingFace website but it doesn't seem to be working anymore.
