OpenAI’s viral Studio Ghibli moment highlights AI copyright concerns
It’s only been a day since ChatGPT’s new AI image generator went live, and social media feeds are already flooded with AI-generated memes in the style of Studio Ghibli, the cult-favorite Japanese animation studio behind blockbuster films such as “My Neighbor Totoro” and “Spirited Away”. In the last 24 hours, we’ve seen AI-generated images representing […]

- Storms can interfere with GPS signals and communications, affecting navigation and data links
- Satellites that rely on precise positioning can drift or lose sync
Here’s how: (2) electronic damage
- Charged particles from the Sun can damage satellite electronics, especially if shielding is insufficient
- This can lead to temporary outages, malfunctions, or even permanent failure of systems like communications, power, or control
- Charged particles from the Sun can damage satellite electronics, especially if shielding is insufficient
- This can lead to temporary outages, malfunctions, or even permanent failure of systems like communications, power, or control
Here’s how: (1) Increased atmospheric drag
- Geomagnetic storms heat and expand the Earth’s upper atmosphere
- This increases air density at LEO altitudes, causing more drag on satellites
- Satellites can lose altitude more rapidly, may reenter the atmosphere prematurely and burn up
