Microsoft is adopting OpenAI's custom chip designs to enhance its own semiconductor development, following a partnership agreement that grants Microsoft intellectual property rights to OpenAI's chip designs.

CEO Satya Nadella explained that Microsoft plans to extend OpenAI's innovations for its own purposes, with access to OpenAI's system-level advancements.

The collaboration allows Microsoft to leverage OpenAI's expertise in AI chip development, a field proving difficult and expensive, while securing access to AI models through 2032, excluding OpenAI's consumer hardware endeavors.

diVine, a new app backed by Jack Dorsey, is launching to revive the spirit of Vine's six-second looping videos. The app provides access to over 100,000 archived Vine videos restored from a backup created before Vine's shutdown.

Users can create profiles and upload their own Vine videos, with suspected generative AI content flagged. The project is financed by Dorsey's nonprofit, "and Other Stuff," focused on funding open-source social media tools.

Evan Henshaw-Plath reconstructed the Vine content from large binary files saved by the Archive Team after Twitter shut down Vine in 2016. The app contains a good percentage of the most popular videos from about 60,000 creators.

Vine creators retain copyright and can request DMCA takedowns or verify their accounts to post new videos or upload missing content. DiVine uses technology from the Guardian Project to verify that new video uploads are human-made.

Built on the Nostr decentralized protocol, diVine allows developers to create their own apps and run their own hosts and media servers. DiVine is available on iOS and Android.

YouTube TV and Disney are locked in a dispute over streaming deals, leaving YouTube TV subscribers without access to Disney-owned networks like ABC and ESPN. This blackout has affected millions, with sports fans and 'Jeopardy!' viewers feeling the impact. YouTube TV is offering a $20 credit to subscribers, but some argue it's not enough compared to past disputes. Disney is estimated to lose millions due to the standoff, while YouTube TV claims Disney's demands would raise prices for customers.

The dispute centers on fair rates for Disney's channels, with Disney potentially gaining revenue from its new ESPN Unlimited subscription. The author humorously laments the inability to watch 'Jeopardy!' and hopes for a resolution to the blackout.
