Oh man, I’m breaking out the popcorn for this one. Can’t wait!

and I was right. highly disappointing to see in the Olympics, especially since at the beginning of the ceremony they had a performance celebrating art made by humans.

olympics: don't change our logo at all, or our lawyers will kill you with hammers

also olympics, showing ai slop during the opening ceremony:

😭😭😭

Yep. So sad 😣

One of the most inspirational things in my work is how many of you respond to me at random with incredibly specific and consistent grievances you’ve acquired against companies like CoreWeave or OpenAI. It’s very obvious that a remarkable amount of people can get a handle on this stuff

Hahahahahahahahahahahah hahahaha. Hahahahahha. Haaaaa. Good luck with that

Very proud of Reddit.com/r/betteroffline - it’s grown into a genuinely large and loud community for the tech skeptic. A great community where the vibes are incredible and the posts are generally pretty good. Grew it from nothing somehow. The Zitronverse

Their cash burn has left equity investors in the firms undaunted, however. Anthropic as of mid-December expected to lose about $5.2 billion, based on its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, last year, according to its most optimistic projections. OpenAI earlier projected a loss of $21.2 billion before interest and taxes, though its projected cash burn was less than half that amount.

Oh my god. All year people have been saying again and again that Anthropic would “only lose $2.8 billion” and it turned out it actually lost $5.1 billion.

Also the hell is that comment about OpenAI lmfao what are you on about

"The question is not simply whether copyright law applies to AI. It is why the law appears to operate so differently depending on who is doing the extracting and for what purpose." 🎯 www.schneier.com/blog/archive...

This sounds more like a second resort than a last one. 😁

There’s an opportunity to make a killing in tech products right now by just advertising no AI or even giving the users the ability to easily turn all “AI features” off and I have no idea why more companies aren’t taking advantage lol

AI’s Memorization Crisis Large language models don’t “learn”—they copy. And that could change everything for the tech industry.

"Sam Altman has defended the technology’s “right to learn” from books and articles, “like a human can.” This deceptive, feel-good idea prevents the public discussion we need to have about how AI companies are using the creative and intellectual works upon which they are utterly dependent."

AI’s Memorization Crisis Large language models don’t “learn”—they copy. And that could change everything for the tech industry.

"In a 2023 letter to the U.S. Copyright Office, OpenAI said that “(#AI LLM) models do not store copies of the information that they learn from.”

Alex Reisner in the Atlantic points out, guess what, they do and if it is proven in court the result could be very expensive for the Theftbot industry.

99.9% of the art on Pinterest wasn't uploaded by its creator. Most isn't even credited. I'm sure that's why it appeals to OpenAI.

I have never once published my art to Pinterest, yet I find pins of my work there constantly. They aggregate work from public sites and pin them without permission, so how does OpenAi acquiring them give them rights to those works? Hate it here.

Trump signs AI executive order pushing to ban state laws States with AI laws could lose federal broadband funding

yes this EO cannot actually preempt state law but it calls on withholding a lot of critical funding if states don’t bow down to sacks and carr, which, well, theyre dunmies www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Doctorow's essay (was a public lecture) is probably the best thing on "AI" and where we are and where we ought to try to go that I have yet read. I learned something important in here about copyright as well, and how creatives and authors need to think about all this. Well worth your time.

Everyone hates this shit so much. It’s a bipartisan issue. AI sucks. It’s intrusive. It isn’t magical nor is it changing the world other than in the amount of money being wasted on it. Consumers are increasingly offended by its presence

Looks like shit

First things first. Generally speaking, AI models not trained in walled gardens with copyright-free sources are stealing work. Nobody denies this. Using them to make the art for your game comes with an acceptance that you may well be taking someone else's work without crediting them, or paying them.

"... Which means that the companies, to avoid liability for copyright infringement, will generally need to pay copyright holders for the right to use their materials."

8/n

Most of the AI companies used far more than lawfully acquired copies of books so this could present a major issue going forward. We'll need to see how lawsuits involving scraped material off the internet play out to see how AI companies will fair under copyright law.
