“AI” is a marketing term, not a technical term of art. “AGI” is a marketing term overlaid w quasi religious symbolism. Be very wary of profit driven corps using the AGI patina of mysticism to market centralized tech always ultimately developed in service of profit/growth.

Tragic on so many levels. People generally fail to recognize how current genAI models—by using creative works without consent, effect a massive value transfer from a diverse creative community to a handful of Silicon Valley companies & VC’s.

Looks like I've #ruined the #dog #class in this #CLIP #AI #model, trained on #wilddogs images #poisoned with #Nightshade. DOGS 🐕 are now DUCKS 🦆! 😳☠️ But cats are still cats..🤔 Note: Initial finding, still computing "CLIP opinion" from vanilla model / 300 images. #AIart

Today was a dark day at Riot games. I was unaffected by the layoff that reached so many of my peers, friends and colleagues. None of this is fair, and everyone at Riot is amazingly skilled and has fought hard to be here. I hope to help in anyway I can to support my fellow artists

This week I find myself, like many game devs of late, in search of a new job. I'm reaching out to my network and beyond in search of roles such art director, illustrator, or art management. If you know someone who might be looking, I'd love to get in touch! #gameart #gamedev

Fantastic article by morgan sung at TechCrunch. Accurate, and says everything that needs to be said about Nightshade. Thank you Morgan!

I love how succinct this is. And accurate.

An incredibly clear, concise, and sharp summary of all the issues around big tech’s headfirst dive into generativeAI, from the amazing Karla Ortiz. If you work in the tech industry or research and don’t yet know about the challenges with genAI, I urge you to take a look and dig in

I have been told to stop stealing muffins from the bakery. Unfortunately, it’s the only way to keep my lucrative muffin stand in business. Everyone is fine with this.

Everyone should read this fantastic paper by esteemed copyright lawyer J C Charlesworth, in which she explains why gen AI training is not fair use under US law. Among many excellent points, here are some that stand out: AI models don't function like humans. "Anthropomorphic
