Delhi HC clears OpenAI training on ANI content
x/india
— Jul 24, 2026
The Delhi High Court ruled that OpenAI’s storage and use of ANI’s content to train ChatGPT falls under the fair-dealing exemption and does not amount to copyright infringement, with judges noting that ChatGPT’s outputs are not substantially similar to ANI’s reports and there is no demonstrated memorization or reproduction. It also refused to grant interim relief, saying such relief would cause irreparable harm and that the public interest favors allowing OpenAI to continue using ANI’s content during the suit.

UC Davis Study Finds Three-Minute Equine Interactions Ease Teen Distress
x/university-of-california-davis
— 3d
A UC Davis study finds that spending just three minutes with miniature horses and donkeys can quickly improve teens’ mood, reducing loneliness, sadness, and anxiety, with stronger effects when teens notice the animals’ body-language cues and even when the animals walk away. The research emphasizes a two-way interaction, arguing that animals’ active participation helps shape the human benefits and should guide the design of animal-assisted interventions.

Memphis groomer charged after four dogs die; 36 seized from Florida man
x/memphis-blues
— Sep 9, 2026
Two separate animal-cruelty cases emerged: in Memphis, groomer Keaton Stuckey is charged with four counts of aggravated cruelty after four dogs died from heat stroke while in his care, with necropsies confirming heat exhaustion and no veterinary care provided; in Melrose, 67-year-old Mark Plosila had 36 husky-mixed dogs seized after months of neighbor complaints, resulting in the euthanization of 15 dogs and criminal charges alongside a civil order that previously restricted the number of dogs he could possess. The cases highlight ongoing enforcement actions against suspected animal neglect and the complexities of civil and criminal proceedings in multi-dog welfare disputes.

EU suspends Brazilian meat imports pending animal-health audit results
x/the-european-union
— Aug 31, 2026
The EU has suspended imports of Brazilian meat and related products for failing to prove compliance with its antibiotic and safety standards, with audits underway to determine whether the ban will be extended or lifted. The move, part of pressure on Brazil under the EU-Mercosur framework, comes as the country remains a major supplier and amid parallel safety concerns referenced in the UK and US contexts, including a Trump tariff waiver that opens U.S. beef markets and renewed calls for a UK-wide ban.

Funny how the US waives tariffs for Brazilian beef while the EU pumps the brakes over antibiotics. Whose standards are we trusting here?
