On today's AI Roundup, we plunge into The New York Times' latest move to block AI content scrapers, raising questions about the future of content accessibility. As Google serenades the music industry with its AI deepfake melodies, we ponder: is this innovation or imitation? Then, the curious case of Nao Medical - is this NYC clinic's weird web presence a symptom of AI gone wild? LabGenius in South London presents a bright spark in the medical world with AI-imagined antibodies. With the rise of AI deepfakes, a new platform offers hope for victims, but will it truly safeguard our digital identities? Lastly, from Barbies to biases, a video essay unravels the twisted realities of AI image generators.

On today’s AI Roundup, we dive into the heated debate over AI-generated art as Dungeons & Dragons fans express their disdain, leading to a ban by the franchise. OpenAI makes strides in data transparency by allowing site owners to block its web crawler, while virtual AI influencers are fashion's new million-dollar babies, posing as real humans and striking mega deals. Meanwhile, Meta's recent move from the scientific realm of protein folding AI to profit-driven projects is making waves. Amid the rising AI content crisis, digital watermarking emerges as a potential solution, but is it enough? Lastly, is the internet falling victim to the AI revolution? AI's role in bypassing traditional captchas and flooding the web with potentially fake content might be leading us to the "dead internet".

Matthew F. Fox, MMN's Creative Director, joins Aaron for episode ten of 38 at 38 to share and bond over some of their worst job experiences (and movie references.)

Matt takes us on a journey through paintball gun-induced run-ins with the cops, data centers in Chinatown NYC, why he has a triforce-shaped scar, and chicken nuggets (of course.)

Not to be outdone, Aaron gives us the skinny on the beeper store wars of the 90s, his famous "Cuban's sandwiches" - and even a recurring bad boy in multiple episodes of COPS.

New episodes of 38 at 38 release every first Friday of the month.

It's time to elevate your MSP game and secure your place in the cybersecurity conversation.

In an industry where attack vectors are constantly changing and becoming more advanced, it is key that MSPs are equipped with the right tools to protect themselves and their customers. What most will fail to do, however, is effectively communicate why cybersecurity is so vital, and how being proactive may be the most important solution

Tune in live for a thought-provoking discussion hosted by Jimmy Hatzell, VP of Revenue at Quickpass and our CEO Ray Orsini to learn:

• How to effectively communicate the latest cybersecurity trends, threats, and solutions to your customers.

• Increase demand and improve end-user adoption by learning from industry leaders on the most effective communication strategies.

Take control of the conversation on cybersecurity and set yourself apart from your competition. Don't miss this chance to expand your knowledge and improve your communication skills.

The event will be hosted live on February 8th at 2:00 pm EST on our YouTube Channel and Facebook Page!

Be sure to follow our guest on LinkedIn and ask some questions about the event!
