Comedian Sarah Silverman and two writers are suing Meta and OpenAI for copyright infringement, accusing them of using their material to train chatbots. The programs use A.I. to digest content so computers can respond in a humanlike manner. A professor at Santa Clara University says the case makes a reasonable argument, but thinks ultimately the court will most likely decide in the companies' favor.

Florida snake hunters have caught the largest Burmese python ever measured. It's 19 feet long and was caught Monday at the Big Cypress National Preserve, and it's now being studied at the Conservancy of Southwest Florida in Naples. The previous record for a Burmese python was 18-feet ten-inches long, and that snake was also found in southern Florida back in 2020. Snake hunter Jake Waleri says it's actually a bit concerning because, in his words, "these snakes are getting bigger every year."

Burger King Thailand has introduced a unique new cheeseburger. The global fast food chain announced a new entree called "The Real Cheeseburger," which will feature 20 slices of American cheese inside a sesame seed bun. A Thai travel expert said putting cheese on everything is a popular trend in Thailand, but he struggled to eat it. Burger King hasn't publicly addressed whether the 20-slice cheeseburger will be included on menus in the U.S.
