Artists who left Spotify after boycott calls
ALBAWABA - Popular music streaming platform Spotify has recently been subjected to massive boycott calls from human rights activists after reports revealed that its CEO, Daniel Ek invested around $600 million in Helsing, a German tech company specializing in AI weapons. Additionally, beyond its CEO's investment in the development of AI weaponry, individuals are boycotting the music streaming platform for barely paying its artists a fair share for the music they upload. According to several reports, Spotify pays its artists $0.003 to $0.005 per stream, which, in contrast to competitors like Tidal, Anghami, and Apple Music, is low. Moreover, several other activists are shedding light on the increase of AI content flooding the platform. Following the mass boycott calls, several artists have joined the movement by taking down their music from Spotify. This list will not include artists who left Spotify after the platform signed a $250 million agreement with controversial media personality Joe Rogan. Several artists have responded to the boycott calls, including Xiu Xiu, Deerhoof, and just recently, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. American indie-rock band Deerhoof recently responded to Ek's investment in Helsing and said, "We don't want our music killing people." American experimental rock band Xiu Xiu was featured in a YouTube video by the Internet's busiest music nerd, Anthony Fantano. Xiu Xiu band member Jamie Stewart revealed to Fantano that several smaller records were difficult to remove from Spotify due to label implications. Xiu Xiu took to Instagram with a statement that they are taking down all of their music from what they described as a "garbage hole armageddon portal," while urging their listeners to unsubscribe from the streaming platform. Last but not least, in a jaw-dropping move, experimental rock band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard also removed most of their records from Spotify. King Gizz released a statement on Instagram which read, "We just removed our music from the platform. Can we put pressure on these Dr. Evil tech bros to do better? Join us on another platform. F*ck Spotify."

Maserati Corse announces 'Sparco X Maserati fan collection': the new collection dedicated to racing enthusiasts
The collaboration between Maserati and Sparco continues, as part of Maserati Corse. The two brands, outstanding Italian undertakings in the world of performance and innovation, have launched the new 'Sparco X Maserati fan collection' line of clothing and accessories, to convey the Trident's competitive racing spirit even away from the track and into its fans' everyday lives. The collection is made foe fans and inspired by champions; there could be no better setting for its launch than the GT World Challenge 2025 stage at the Misano circuit, the perfect venue for the Trident's 'home race' as part of the GT2 European Series calendar, between the Maserati GT2s that have racked up successes and the MCXtrema that has captured the attention of all comers to the paddock. The new capsule collection forms an integral part of the partnership launched last year, which has already led to the creation of the 'Maserati Corse Replica' and 'MCXtrema' Racing Kits, complete with suits, helmets, shoes, gloves and technical accessories. Therefore, having kitted out drivers and teams, the two brands have now decided to involve the general public by creating the 'Sparco X Maserati fan collection', to transfer the spirit of the track into everyday life. Specifically, the new line offers distinctive and functional garments that adapt perfectly to every season: from blue and white T-shirts to blue and yellow sweatshirts, from the technical softshell jacket to the ultra-resistant backpack with adjustable shoulder straps and external and internal pockets, all the way to the inevitable baseball caps. The basis of the partnership is the shared principles that mark the excellence of both brands, including artisanship, constant research, the quality of materials and the prestige of Made in Italy. All the products in the new collection bear the colours and logos of Maserati Corse and feature a high level of design and quality, exclusively reflecting the identity and design of the House of the Trident and that unmistakable technical elegance that distinguishes both Maserati, synonymous with high-performance Italian luxury globally, and Sparco, a world leader in the field of technical clothing and motorsport equipment. From the stands to the starting grid. Each garment and accessory in the 'Sparco X Maserati fan collection' thus serves as a bridge between spectators and team, between performance and identity, as a tangible sign of belonging for all those who share the same passion for racing and who wish to proudly wear a genuine emblem of a legendary brand that for almost a century has echoed the roar of its cars on circuits all over the world. Maria Conti, Head of Maserati Corse, stated: 'As Maserati enthusiasts are well aware, our brand was founded on the racetrack and is characterised by an intrinsic vocation for performance. With Sparco, we share a vision based on excellence, innovation and Italian style. To follow the professional racing kits, we wanted to offer garments and accessories that maintain the same spirit of our racing cars and our drivers. This collection represents an authentic extension of the Maserati Corse world, in its natural environment of the track for almost 100 years." Niccolò Bellazzini, Sparco Brand Manager, added: 'Together with Maserati, we share a vision deeply rooted in Italian tradition and common values of design, performance, comfort and elegance. With the new fan collection, we wanted to reflect the meeting of these two personalities, bringing back the visual identity of Maserati Corse in a line tailor-made for anyone wishing to express their passion in everyday life, even off the track."

From OpenAI to Meta: ChatGPT architect joins Zuckerberg's billion-dollar AI bet
Published July 26th, 2025 - 12:37 GMT ALBAWABA - Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has appointed Shengjia Zhao, a founding figure behind OpenAI's ChatGPT, as Chief Scientist of Meta's newly established Superintelligence Labs, the company's latest venture into advanced artificial intelligence research. Also Read Israel launches a new wave of airstrikes on southern Lebanon The announcement, reported by CNBC, marks a significant step in Zuckerberg's aggressive AI hiring and investment campaign, which includes a $14 billion investment in Scale AI and the launch of Meta Superintelligence Labs — a division dedicated to building cutting-edge AI models and infrastructure. Though Zhao's name was listed in Meta's internal June hiring memo, Zuckerberg confirmed on Friday that Zhao co-founded the Superintelligence Labs and has served as its Chief Scientist "since day one." He will work closely with Zuckerberg and Alexander Wang, the former CEO of Scale AI and now Meta's Chief AI Officer. In a social media post, Zuckerberg praised Zhao's leadership in AI innovation, writing, 'Shengjia has led several breakthroughs, including a new approach to scaling models. He has established himself as a leader in the field, and I look forward to working closely with him to bring his scientific vision to life.' The new Chief Scientist of Facebook's Superintelligence Labs is Chinese. Shengjia Zhao did his Bachelor's at Tsinghua University and then came to the US to study at Stanford. He was also the co-creator of ChatGPT. How China and immigration make America great again! — S.L. Kanthan (@Kanthan2030) July 26, 2025 A Track Record of AI Innovation Zhao's AI credentials are extensive. At OpenAI, he played a key role in developing ChatGPT, GPT-4, and several advanced iterations such as GPT-4.1, O3, and a range of compact AI models. He also headed OpenAI's Synthetic Data Division, contributing foundational work to model training and scalability. His recruitment is part of Meta's broader ambition to dominate the next generation of artificial intelligence. The Meta Superintelligence Labs will be responsible for developing foundational AI models, such as the LLaMA open-source model series, alongside conducting high-level AI research. Billions Poured Into AI Infrastructure Zuckerberg has recently declared that Meta is prepared to invest 'hundreds of billions of dollars' into building the computing infrastructure needed to support its superintelligence ambitions. The company's goal is to position itself at the forefront of AI development, competing with major players like OpenAI and Google DeepMind. With Zhao now leading the scientific front and Wang overseeing strategy, Meta is positioning its Superintelligence Labs as a major force in the race toward artificial general intelligence (AGI). © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (
