Along with 1,000 musicians, today we're releasing an (almost) silent album protesting the UK government's plan to upend copyright law to benefit AI companies. It's an album of recordings of empty studios & performance spaces, representing the effect the govt's plans would have

RT @palomamcclain: An exec discarding employees and telling them to cope with AI is very par for the course isn’t it.

cc @Spotify - can you do something about this please? Asking for a million friends.

Spotify is not only allowing AI music and actively recommending it to users - it is allowing it to be monetized. Great reporting from @Knibbs reveals one unheard of AI music uploader making $200/mo from Spotify. Now consider:. 1. He says this isn’t much, he makes much more

If you can pay individual employees $300 million, it seems reasonable to ask that you pay for your training data.

Cloudflare will block AI crawlers by default. This is the way. Stands in stark contrast to companies like Squarespace, who opt you in to AI training by default. If Cloudflare adds a drag-and-drop website builder, Squarespace's days are surely numbered.
