Hollywood groups and major studios are accusing ByteDance’s new Seedance 2.0 AI video generator of enabling widespread copyright infringement and deepfake-like use of real actors’ likenesses.

The tool, now in China and later expected in CapCut, can create 15‑second clips from simple prompts. The Motion Picture Association, SAG-AFTRA, and the Human Artistry Campaign condemned it, while Disney and Paramount reportedly sent cease-and-desist letters.

Simile says many high-stakes decisions, products, policies, legal strategy, are still made with too little testing. Building on research into “generative agents, ” the company is developing a foundation model meant to predict human behavior at scale, enabling simulations of how people might react before real-world rollout.

Customers already use it to practice earnings calls, model litigation, and test policy changes. Simile has raised $100M led by Index Ventures.

A new research paper shows that a particle interaction scientists long believed could never happen actually can occur under very specific conditions.

The team discovered a surprisingly simple formula that works for any number of particles. An AI model, GPT-5.2, first spotted the pattern after simplifying complicated human calculations. Another AI system then independently proved it was correct, and researchers confirmed it using well-known physics rules. The same method is already being applied to study gravity-related particles.
