Did Mark Zuckerberg steal Richard's Books?

from The Rest Is Entertainment · host Goalhanger

Did Meta use millions of copyrighted books to train their latest AI chatbot? Has Amazon Prime struck gold with its latest comedy format 'Last One Laughing'? Will YouTubers ever crack traditional TV? Richard and Marina delve into the murky world of LibGen, the Russian illegal archive that has ripped both host's back catalog of books and the possibility that Facebook has used it to train their AI chatbot. 'Last One Laughing' is the Jimmy Carr hosted hit for Amazon Prime, have the streamers finally worked out how to make great comedy for TV? And is Bob Mortimer the UK's funniest comedian? Finally, we've been given a sneak peak at HBO Max's Jake and Logan Paul documentary series for HBO. Why can't influencers draw their loyal Gen Z fans to watch their reheated formats on TV?
