Description:
A dad who runs a driveway cleaning business called EasyJetwash is being threatened with legal action by billionaire easyJet founder Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou. <br/><br/>Jozsef Spekker, 43, charges around £100 to pressure wash people's drives, patios, garden paths and conservatories.<br/><br/>He has run his one-man business for three years but is now in hot water with easyGroup, which is owned by budget airline boss Sir Stelios.<br/><br/>The multinational venture capital conglomerate - worth billions - has written to Jozsef ordering him to rebrand his business or face a costly legal battle.<br/><br/>Jozsef, from Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffs., said: “They explained how my branding was very harmful for their business. <br/><br/>“They wanted me to take all the branding off Facebook and social media, and close it <br/>down. <br/><br/>“If I do what they want me to do I have to close the business. I’d have to start again. <br/><br/>“The first two years I spent a lot of money on advertisements. <br/><br/>“I have hundreds of videos on YouTube, a ten minute video takes a long time to edit. I have at least 160 videos. People like to watch them. <br/><br/>“It’s mainly the word easy which is the problem. I call myself EasyJetwash. <br/><br/>“If you go through most of my social posts I higher case Easy and Jet. <br/><br/>“I try and keep it obvious that we are nothing to do with easyJet. <br/><br/>“They are hanging on to the word ‘easy’, saying that I am trying to confuse their customers into believing I am part of their group. <br/><br/>“I look very, very different. <br/><br/>“All the business I do, they don’t offer. <br/><br/>“The whole idea of calling my business EasyJetwash is that I made hard physical work very easy with the right equipment and it is really simple and easy to do.<br/><br/>“They [easyJet) don’t offer any exterior cleaning or building restoration, which I do. <br/><br/>“Which is why my trademark was accepted. They didn’t challenge my trademark. <br/><br/>“I am totally scared. Who am I compared to a multi-billion pound corporation? <br/><br/>“Just a few weeks ago I paid off £800 on my credit card and I have no savings. I can’t fight them in the court.”<br/><br/>Jozsef applied to trademark his company name and was approved in April 2022.<br/><br/>The Hungarian-born business owner, who suffers from degenerative arthritis, says the stress has left him feeling “worried I’ll lose everything”.<br/><br/>He added: \

_billionaires-are-battling-for-the-fate-of-ai-will-the-world-benefit-from-the-outcome-.webp "Billionaire investors of the internet era are now locked in a war of words and influenced to determine whether AI's future will be one of concentrated safety or unfettered advancement. The stakes couldn't be higher.<br/><br/>In May 2023, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman appeared on Capitol Hill for a Senate subcommittee meeting on AI. The substance of his message: Regulate us. For his opponents, this was the mask-off moment they’d been waiting for. Three months earlier, Musk, who had cofounded and bankrolled OpenAI when it was still an open source nonprofit, had taken to X to decry OpenAI’s recent multibillion dollar capital infusion from Microsoft. From its nonprofit roots, OpenAI had evolved into a “closed source, maximum profit company effectively controlled by Microsoft,” Musk said.<br/><br/>For Vinod Khosla and Reid Hoffman—who met with Altman together at least once to talk strategy but otherwise move in separate circles—OpenAI’s willingness to compromise is how to get things done. Whether Hoffman is talking to Biden, Pope Francis or U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, a frequent collaborator in recent months, their questions are similar: How will constituents’ lives change because of AI? What about their jobs? When should they be excited for benefits, or cautious about risks? “You have to show you understand what their primary game is, and that they can trust you to figure it out,” Hoffman says. “If your approach to government is to say ‘get out of my way,’ then you’re not helping with their game.”<br/><br/>Read the full story on Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexkonrad/2024/06/04/inside-silicon-valley-influence-battle-for-ai-future/?sh=44d2570c2dc4<br/><br/>0:00 Introduction<br/>0:59 Where Is Silicon Valley On AI<br/>5:03 Reid Hoffman And The State Of Open AI<br/>7:44 Where Does Social Media And AI Regulation Stand?<br/>9:55 Vinod Khosla's Take On Open AI And The State Of The Industry<br/>13:30 Will Regulations Aid Our Society From AI Going To Far?<br/><br/>Subscribe to FORBES: https://www.youtube.com/user/Forbes?sub_confirmation=1<br/><br/>Fuel your success with Forbes.
