Deepfake Feature Sparks Trademark Clash
- OpenAI's Sora launched a controversial 'Cameo' deepfake feature that stirred legal and public backlash.
- A court temporarily blocked OpenAI from using the word Cameo due to trademark confusion with Cameo the celebrity-video service.

- Only about 3 in 1,000 potential mineral deposits become commercially viable, making efficient targeting valuable.
- FleetSpace's multi-sensor constellation and AI mapping can change economics by focusing drilling where it matters most.
Use AI+Satellite Data To Speed Mineral Discovery
- Use satellite sensors and AI to rapidly narrow promising drilling targets and cut decision time from weeks to days.
- FleetSpace applied this to expand an existing Quebec lithium deposit estimate to as much as 329 million tons of lithium oxide.
