This lawsuit accuses Meta of utilizing the authors' works without permission to enhance its AI technology, a case that has drawn considerable attention due to the high-profile nature of the plaintiffs. The judge, Vincent Chhabria, expressed frustration over what he perceives as a lack of diligence from the plaintiffs' attorneys in progressing the case, criticizing their approach as passive and inadequate. "It's very clear to me from the papers, from the docket and from talking to the magistrate judge that you have brought this case and you have not done your job to advance it," Judge Chhabria remarked during the hearing, highlighting his dissatisfaction with the legal strategy or perhaps the effort put into managing the case. This judicial rebuke not only points to procedural missteps but also underscores the complexities of navigating AI-related copyright issues through the legal system. The criticism from the bench was not just about the pace of the lawsuit but also hinted at broader implications for how such cases might be handled moving forward. Judge Chhabria suggested that the legal team reconsider its composition, indicating that without a more robust legal effort, the plaintiffs' chances of success could be severely compromised. This moment in court serves as a reminder of the high stakes involved when new technologies like AI intersect with established legal frameworks, where even procedural oversights can significantly impact the outcome. In response to the judge's comments, there was a suggestion from the defense that the situation might not be as dire as perceived, with Meta's attorney indicating that the case could still move forward with a bit more time. However, the overall tone from the judge was clear: a more aggressive and competent legal strategy is needed. "I think what you need, frankly, is to bring in somebody who can help you litigate the case, who has the resources and the wherewithal to move this case forward," Judge Chhabria advised, pointing towards a potential reshuffling of the legal team to better tackle the challenges posed by this innovative yet contentious area of law. Advertisement FBI Alert: China Attacks Critical U.S. Infrastructure [Patriot Power Sidekick and Solar Panel]( National Security Reports China's Attacks On Critical U.S. Electric Grid, Food Supply and Water Systems FBI Director Wray warns China has successfully gained access to companies throughout the U.S. in energy, telecommunications, water and has targeted 23 pipeline operators. Another shocking report reveals there have already been more than 70 attacks on America's power grid in a single year. Security experts have raised the alarm for years about the most vulnerable aspect of infrastructure in the United States that puts you and your family in critical danger: Our crumbling electric grid. Officials report that attacks on just 9 of the nation's 55,000 electrical substations could result in nationwide blackouts for up to 18 months. Your life would be frozen in time right at the moment the power fails. Lights all over the country would go out, throwing people into total chaos and darkness. Our enemies would just sit back and watch as we self-destruct through looting, rioting and the targeting of police officers. Our government is woefully unprepared. Are you and your family prepared to survive as much as 18 months without electricity, food or clean water? It seems like the government has been fixated on taking more and more away from people who worked hard to earn it, while doing virtually nothing to secure our nation's critical infrastructure.

"This product is so versatile, and at only 8 lbs, my grandchildren can get it. We had many trees down from a storm. The guys kept having to refill their gas powered chainsaws. My husband came out with this "little" box and his electric chainsaw. They laughed and said a long electric cord would be too dangerous. My husband calmly hooked up his Sidekick and made short work at lopping off the branches and then walked through the path he made. It lasted longer than the gas 'polluting' machines. Very grateful you have made this available to buy at an affordable price." Steve G. "Peace of mind for years. I purchased this product to provide power to run a box fan in the summer and lights in the winter. I can use this product every day for over four years as it can be recharged up to 2,000 times. It won't make noise that draws attention and can create comfort in a difficult situation. Best of all, it's portable." Thomas B. "Saved my CPAP machine during the winter storms. I just survived the ice storm, the freeze and the power outage in Texas using my 4Patriots products. I was most happy about my Patriot Power Sidekick. It's quiet. It's clean. I was able to deploy the solar panels on the dashboard of my van, it charged up. And then that night I plugged in my CPAP machine and it ran it all night long. With enough to charge my phone in the morning." Jana H. "Portable power was a blessing when the grid failed us. I didn't think I'd need this but I needed it shortly after receiving it. This past February was the worst freeze that we, in Texas, have seen in a long time. Our power grid failed big time. We were without power for a couple of days. This product was a blessing. We were able to have a light and a small portable TV. I highly recommend this product and the company that sells it." Allan D. "Patriot Power Sidekick to the rescue. We brought our new Patriot Power Sidekick with us on our last camping trip and it was a blessing. Our primary use was to power an air pump to easily fill up our air mattress for a comfortable night's sleep. One night we had a pinhole leak in the air mattress, so we just kept the Sidekick inside the tent hooked up to the air pump and ran it for a few minutes about every 3 hours to keep it fully inflated. It's quiet and powerful, and we will have it with us on every camping trip!" Chris S. "Power out, no problem. Recently had a power outage due to some crazy storms. I use my phone for everything. Having the sidekick charged up and charging my nearly dead phone meant I was able to have my alarm and get to work on time. Thank you for this compact, lightweight and fume free portable charging/light station available for when I needed it the most!" Richard B. "Well worth it! This is one of the items that made me a loyal customer. I never was a big fan on solar-powered anything. At the same time I've been in enough situations to know any type of a generator is necessary when you live in a more rural setting. Especially when gas prices go through the roof. I purchased the Sidekick and as soon as it arrived I unpacked it and plugged it into a lamp and left it plugged in all evening. I was impressed how little it took from the battery! After 3 hours the Sidekick was still at 98% fully charged. I'm looking forward to having two Sidekicks!" Frank S. "We have been looking for quite a while for something like this. The deal with the solar panels included was something not to pass up! We both have sleep apnea and use c/bipap machines for sleep. The power went out recently and the sidekick worked great. As a test we ran the Sidekick on the humidifier and it ran about 7 hours! It's a small humidifier. That's not bad for that type of application. Cannot wait till camping season comes along! We highly recommend this product." [Click here to grab our best-selling Patriot Power Generator and get our Mini Solar Generator for FREE!
