Tesla Theater expands with HBO Max, Paramount+ and more via browser-based playback

Tesla appears to be expanding Tesla Theater by automatically launching several streaming sites in a full-screen, chromeless browser, rather than requiring native apps. In testing, HBO Max, Paramount+, Peacock, Apple TV, Disney+, and Plex began opening in Theater-style full screen, joining existing Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Twitch and TikTok. The services are browser-based, so users may need to bookmark them, and rear-screen viewing remains browserless; this change suggests Tesla may add more services and shortcuts in the future.

AI Labels to Flag AI-Generated vs AI-Assisted Music

A coalition of major music-industry and artists’ groups (including the RIAA, IFPI, The Grammys, SAG-AFTRA and the Human Artistry Campaign) unveiled voluntary labels to indicate when a sound recording uses generative AI, distinguishing AI-generated tracks from AI-assisted ones with simple icons. The labeling, designed for adoption by streaming services and distributors, is currently voluntary and does not yet cover AI use in lyrics, videos, or other aspects. Citing Deezer’s finding that AI-generated tracks comprised a large share of new music and Apple Music’s data, the groups say the labeling provides fans with transparency as AI use in music evolves.
