NBA executives remain divided on a fair contract for Jalen Duren as the Pistons and the restricted free agent sit at an impasse, with proposed five-year deals ranging from about $180 million to $230 million and a commonly cited $204.5 million figure. Detroit has offered a $9.6 million qualifying deal and sign-and-trade discussions have surfaced, but the Pistons appear hesitant to move, while other teams like Sacramento have cooled on pursuing him amid broader CBA-driven realities that inflate value beyond teams’ budgets.

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.

Volkswagen Engineers Charged in Rivian Insider Trading
x/united-states-department-of-justice
— Jul 24, 2026
The U.S. Department of Justice has charged two Volkswagen engineers, Michael Stamp and Marcus Plank, with securities fraud for insider trading tied to Volkswagen and Rivian’s joint venture, alleging they profited over $300,000 by buying Rivian stock and options on information about the project codenamed “Project Climb” before public announcement. Investigations note that Stamp and Plank sought illicit advantage despite knowing it was illegal, with Stamp researching insider-trading statutes days before the deal and a relative of Plank inquiring about punishment, as prosecutors underscore that such actions undermine fair markets and investor trust amid Rivian’s 23% stock rise following the announcement and Volkswagen’s investment plans moving up to $5.8 billion.
