I did some hacking and wrote a piece for The Atlantic about the complex realities of AI training data. theatlantic.com/technology/arc…

Great response from Margaret E Atwood to my piece in The Atlantic. "...they could at least buy me a coffee." theatlantic.com/books/archive/…

Mauro Javier Cárdenas Alex Reisner The Atlantic New Directions Farrar,Straus&Giroux Good heavens. I hope this doesn't encourage proliferation of 'veritable cathedral of ice' in AI composition

New pieces in my series for The Atlantic on AI training data: theatlantic.com/technology/arc… and theatlantic.com/technology/arc…

A behavior called "memorization" is causing legal problems for generative AI. I wrote about it for The Atlantic. theatlantic.com/technology/arc…

Is generative AI a good thing for our culture? Does it help spread knowledge or does it impede creativity and collaboration? These are central questions in the ongoing lawsuits against AI companies, which I just wrote about for The Atlantic. theatlantic.com/technology/arc…

Wow, Nintendo of America -- guardians of actual creativity -- has more spine that every hollywood studio.

A ground-breaking investigation by Annie Gilbertson and Alex Reisner for Proof News found that subtitles from 173,536 YouTube videos, siphoned from more than 48,000 channels, were used by Anthropic, Nvidia, Apple and Salesforce to train their AI models proofnews.org/apple-nvidia-a…

So the BEST LLMs write functional code — the thing they are apparently best at — less than 50% of the time?????!! And this justifies hundreds of billions in VC investment and cooking our planet with insane compute usage HOW???

Dialogue from more than 139,000 movies and TV shows is being used to train generative AI. I wrote about it for The Atlantic and built a search tool for screenwriters, directors, and actors to find their work. theatlantic.com/technology/arc…

If AI chatbots are getting better, why can't tech companies measure their progress? I wrote about a serious problem with the industry's benchmark testing. theatlantic.com/technology/arc…

Style imitation isn't copyright infringement, but it's potentially disastrous for artists and studios. Can anything stop AI companies from doing it? I wrote about it for The Atlantic. theatlantic.com/technology/arc…
