Courts in Denmark have convicted two unnamed men in an ongoing crackdown on digital piracy. One received a nine-month prison sentence for uploading massive amounts of pirated content to Danish torrent trackers. The court sentenced the other to a year for his involvement in the notorious piracy group ’The Scene.’

The first conviction involved a ”46-year-old man,” who shared 74 terabytes of copyrighted movies and TV shows through torrent sites SuperBits and DanishBytes. Torrent Freak reports that a Hillerød court sentenced him to nine months in prison, with at least three months served before parole eligibility. The judge also ordered the man to complete 120 hours of community service. His specific role within the torrent sites is unclear, but authorities said his contribution to piracy was ”substantial.”

A software developer has proven it is possible to run a modern LLM on old hardware like a 2005 PowerBook G4, albeit nowhere near the speeds expected by consumers.

Most artificial intelligence projects, such as the constant push for Apple Intelligence, leans on having a powerful enough device to handle queries locally. This has meant that newer computers and processors, such as the latest A-series chips in the iPhone 16 generation, tend to be used for AI applications, simply due to having enough performance for it to work.

Hollywood will have to navigate a world in which consumers are increasingly choosing to spend more of their time with creator-driven entertainment and social platforms rather than premium content.

That is a key takeaway from Deloitte‘s 19th annual digital media trends survey, which asks consumers about their media and entertainment preferences.

The survey finds that 56 percent of Gen Zs and 43 percent of millennials surveyed find social media content “more relevant than traditional TV shows and movies,” and roughly half feel a stronger personal connection to social media creators than to TV personalities or actors.

A viral filter which made people appear overweight has been removed from TikTok, after the BBC reported it had sparked a wave of user criticism.

Known as a ”chubby filter”, the artificial intelligence (AI) tool took a photo of a person and edited their appearance to look as though they had put on weight.

Many people have shared their ”before and after” images on the platform with jokes about how different they looked – however, others said it was a form of ”body shaming” and should not be permitted.

Experts have also warned the filter could fuel a ”toxic diet culture” online and potentially contribute to eating disorders.
