New week, new website, new work for you to have a look at... https://t.co/gJMVAGZytd

@rcbregman This is brilliant. Media Capture Watch has a full dataviz of relationships between media & tech firms & why it matters. I get why Axios & News Corp made purely capitalist decision to take $ but independent progressive news orgs should be nowhere near this https://t.co/ApAu7SYuKq

The UK government is hugely overstating how many people their new ‘AI Growth Zone’ will employ. They announced that it will create 800 full-time jobs. I submitted an FOI request for their calculations, and the real number is probably below 300. Their headline figure was even

Artist-washing (verb): to intentionally distract from AI models’ exploitation of creators’ life’s work by finding individual artists willing to use those models

I've identified industrial-scale copyright violations on my content by Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, X, and more. These companies created thousands of crawlers incorporating the text of all my blog posts, open source code, and books into their paid AI models to profit exorbitantly.

I have a website about Traditional Chinese Medicine that I spent literal years building. When I asked questions to Claude about the topic, it parroted almost word-for-word what I myself wrote. So please spare us the gaslighting about training AI on others' work...

He’s just flat out lying. Hollywood writers hate AI and have been fighting against it. They want you guys to think this stuff is being normalized by the masses when it’s not

@lisanandy If you think we lead the world in film, TV, music and the arts, why has your government proposed handing our film, TV, music & arts to AI companies for free? And, as Culture Secretary, why haven’t you objected to this?

The UK’s Culture Secretary @lisanandy has never tweeted about AI. Not once. This is the person the creative sector needs to stand up for them - while AI companies steal their work, and while others in government entertain legalising this theft. Why is the Culture Secretary not

Creatives in the UK - please fill out this government survey about generative AI. It is a chance to affect their thinking. (It officially closed yesterday but seems still to be accepting responses.) https://t.co/HbzYJWcnLz

He's not just defending AI energy use. He is smuggling in a whole anthropology where humans are basically inefficient meat computers that you have to pour food and years into before they become useful. And once you accept that, the next move is obvious. If people are just costly

The UK’s AI minister is boosting AI companies that exploit British citizens’ copyrighted work without permission, calling them “superstars”. Why is Culture Secretary @lisanandy not standing up for the creative industries? Is this now just a government of pirates?

The CEO of ElevenLabs blocked me for asking what they train their models on. I’m told he also explicitly told employees not to reply to me when I asked this. Execs at billion-dollar AI companies have a very thin skin when asked about their training data. This is because it

@KanishkaNarayan @OpenAI @Microsoft Partnering with companies that build their products by stealing creatives’ work is a bad way to build trust.

"The asbestos of the internet" is the best description of AI I've heard yet. Always knew Jervis was a real one

this is making me cry. he could cure cancer, he could cure fucking cancer and spare millions the agony of the disease and he has to beg on TV for funds instead of gold falling right into his lap.

Truly vile that @Adobe are opting to kill Animate/Flash with no contingencies in place for the thousands of animators (including EVERY SINGLE ONE I work with) who are going to lose access to the program they've been mastering for up to 3 decades. This is an industry-killing move.

Hope you’re watching @UKLabour are you pleased with yourself @peterkyle 🙄

i made this film for everyone posting AI slop

It’s a year since Suchir Balaji, the former OpenAI employee who spoke out on copyright, died. In the brief time in which I got to know him, it was immediately apparent that he was an incredible person. By all accounts one of the most well thought of researchers at OpenAI, he
