DOGE Faces Lawsuit from Over a Dozen U.S. States Over Federal Payment System Takeover
Elon Musk's DOGE operatives have reportedly infiltrated multiple U.S. government departments, including agencies managing data on millions of federal employees and a payment system handling $6 trillion in transactions for Americans.
Now, a coalition of more than a dozen U.S. states plans to file a lawsuit to prevent Musk’s cost-cutting team from accessing these sensitive federal payment systems, which contain personal data on U.S. citizens.

Google Unveils Gemini 2.0: Smarter AI with Research and Action Capabilities
Google has released Gemini 2.0, a more advanced AI model that understands and creates text, images, and audio more naturally. It includes "Deep Research," a feature that gathers and summarizes information from the web. Another major improvement is its "agentic" AI, which can predict next steps and take action with user approval. Google is adding Gemini 2.0 to services like Search, making it better at answering complex questions and helping with tasks.

Apple’s next iPhone SE might be announced “as early as next week” ahead of it being on sale later in February. The next iPhone SE is expected to look like an iPhone 14, meaning it will have a bigger screen, drop Touch ID in favor of Face ID, and come with an A18 chip, which will let it run the company’s Apple Intelligence features. It’s also set to get a USB-C port, which theoretically means Apple can sell an iPhone SE again in the EU.

Unsealed court documents from February 5th, 2024, in Kadrey v. Meta show Meta (formerly Facebook) illegally torrented 81.7TB of data from "shadow libraries" such as Anna's Archive, Z-Library, and LibGen to train Meta artificial intelligence.
Highlights include:
- A senior AI research at Meta says, "I don't think we should use pirated material. I really need to draw a line there."
- Another AI researcher says, "using pirated material should be beyond our ethical threshold" ... "SciHub, ResearchGate, LibGen are basically like PirateBay or something like that, they are distributing content that is protectec by copyright and they're infringing it".
- In January 2023, Mark Zuckerberg attends a meeting which is heavily redacted in court documents. However, he says "we need to this move this stuff forward" and "we need to find a way to unblock all of this".
- Fast forward to April, 2023, Meta employees discuss using a VPN to conceal Meta IP address ranges when torrenting data. Meta employees also discuss the need to involve lawyers if something goes astray. The unredacted court records show a Meta employee saying, "torrenting from a corporate laptop doesn't feel right 😂".

Technically: For anyone who's writing research papers, they don't get much royalty out of it unless it's really that famous. Most of the payments are gobbled up by the publishers/distributors and the authors get almost nothing.
My Science teacher recently published a paper through Elsevier, but is yet to get any royalty whatsoever, even when the paper has gathered quite a lot of traction. He, and the group he worked with, along with a group of other researchers I know say that pirating papers isn't that much of a bad thing, because the authors don't get much overall. So I am fine with Meta using those.
Books, are a different story. Depends tho, quite a section of books are now copyright-free (i.e. World Classics like Dickens or Verne) and that's fine. Some books I'd like to legitimately die (Colleen Hoover, Ana Huang, etc., basically smut writers) and it seems morally fine to me to pirate them.
Pirating books IMO is "fine" if you are just testing out a book before buying (which is what I usually do, I read books and then buy them/buy the series) or if you are too poor to afford them (like, seriously Rowling ₹3k for the whole set?)
But for Meta, I think it's definitely not fine for them to pirate at ALL, because not only do they have the budget, they also have the moral need to do it. I wouldn't mind an individual pirating my books or papers but I would definitely mind a whole ass corporation pirating my stuff.
I mean seriously, you are one of the top-most for-profit organizations in the world. In India, we have a thing enforced by the government on companies called CSR Initiative i.e. Corporate Social Responsibility which states that these companies shall put at least 2% of their into initiatives directed to the common people for their betterment.
I think the US government should, themselves, fight back with Meta and sue them for damages. Although, nothing would really come out of this (and probably Meta would run out of money and call themselves bankrupt if they were charged to pay everyone), it would still be a reminder to many.
Meta could have partnered with orgs like JSTOR (Harvard's e-Library) to make it work too, would have been much more ethical and financially responsible.
Whatever, who am I to tell anything.
(Also I bought the Harry Potter series later in 2021)
