Hollywood Has Midjourney in its Crosshairs

Midjourney, a wildly popular AI image generator known for churning out fantastical mashups, just got itself a hefty prescription for legal headaches.

Disney and NBCUniversal have officially declared war, branding the startup a "bottomless pit of plagiarism."

Here’s what’s brewing:

• Midjourney allegedly generated thousands of unauthorized images featuring blockbuster characters, everything from Marvel superheroes to Dreamworks' cuddlier Minions.

• Despite warnings, Midjourney reportedly doubled down, rolling out further updates instead of halting infringements.

• The company was founded in 2021 and earned $300 million last year, amassing over 20 million users.

So What?

With Disney and NBCUniversal involved, this suit could set major precedents for generative AI regulations.

It’s not merely about a few rogue Avengers, it’s about safeguarding the billion-dollar foundation of the entertainment industry.

The outcome could heavily influence future AI innovation and its integration with copyrighted materials…

Let Codex Handle the Grunt Work in Your Codebase

If you’re anything like us, you absolutely hate the idea of refactoring code or fixing impossible-to-find bugs. Luckily, Codex just hit the Plus plan in ChatGPT.

This is OpenAI’s new cloud-based software engineering agent, built right into ChatGPT. Think of it as a tireless junior dev that understands your codebase and never asks for coffee breaks…

Here’s how to get started:

1. Log into ChatGPT on the Web App and look for Codex in the sidebar.

2. Connect your GitHub repo to set up an environment.

3. You can ask a few flavors of questions like “How should I structure this module?” or even “Refactor this auth package and add tests.”

4. Let Codex go to work. Codex will spin up a secure container, analyze your repo, and send back a diff or task summary in 3–8 minutes. You can review, refine, or ask for more.

Heads up: You will have to set up two-factor authentication to use it. Just make sure whatever you’re giving to Codex right now is safe to share!

Use Perplexity Labs to Turn Ideas Into Action

Perplexity recently dropped some heat, not gonna lie.

If Perplexity’s classic search is your 24/7 answer machine, the new Perplexity Labs is like hiring a whole team. It’s designed to take your to-do list—reports, dashboards, even web apps—and turn them into actual deliverables, not just drafts.

Perplexity Labs can help you complete a variety of work and personal projects. From creating a marketing campaign, to analyzing your business finances, to meal planning for the week.

Here’s how you can get started:

1. Head to Perplexity (you’ll need to have the Pro plan for this).

2. Start with a problem you are trying to solve or check out the Projects Gallery for inspiration.

3. Let Labs handle the work. It runs up to 10 minutes of self-supervised research.

4. Review your assets - everything generated lands in the assets tab. Download and reuse as needed!

When to use Labs vs. Research?

Use Research for fast, deep answers. Use Labs when you need real output: a built doc, coded tool, or detailed analysis.

Some prompts to get you started!

💼 Business – Generate a prospect database and automate company profiling for lead generation.

📊 Analysis – Visualize trends over time using comparative data, with built-in insights.
