At NeurIPS this year, I was invited to talk about my perspective on generative AI. I spoke on the parallels between AlphaGo’s impact on professional Go, how that connects with what’s happening in creative industries today, & a bunch of musings on art, AI, and meaning. 1/🧵

Interesting for a developer to say that ultimately, chatbots are just seen as “enormously popular publishers” that can monetize their display content.
Google also claims AI has changed everything since this case was brought. This is Google's "jazz hands" that succeeded in the Search case (5yrs). But this case was filed 2yrs ago. WTF. Google claims we have "entirely new enormously popular publishers, such as AI chatbots" !!! /11

I’m still a plaintiff in ongoing class actions so I can’t share my personal opinion on the settlement. But I feel like these info should have been covered in the news to provide more context for those unfamiliar with the industries. So just mentioning them here.

Cuz if startups can pay $1k per question for engineers to solve bug problems for AI training. It feels like surely, an entire book is worth much more. For context, the commercial piracy of a movie carries a fine of up to $250,000 and 5 years in prison. 3/

No doubt there were probably those who did take up those offers, and it makes me curious if the AI industry got to set that as a point of reference and was able to use it as a basis for the numbers here. 2/

Some observations/context on the Anthropic and authors’ settlement: It’s been known that AI companies have offered publishers $2.5-3k per book for licensing requests in the past, and that some authors rejected those requests. 1/

Great thing about debilitating back pain is that I am online a little less and have no more doomscrolling problems 🫠

Like wow yes definitively ask a person who’s in a lot of pain and having trouble living day to day whether they’re grateful for their condition. Seriously, please do not do this.

Wrote that ADD makes it so difficult to live day to day I��m wondering if I’ll just pass away from back pain cuz I can’t make myself go through all the steps needed to find and seek medical help. Someone responded by asking if I’d even be where I am without it

I wrote about how someone released a deepfake model of me recently. And while it’s illegal to post graphic deepfake images of someone, it’s not yet clear if it would be illegal to publish & distribute deepfake AI *models* of someone. These are things states can look into now.
Someone released an AI model that makes deepfakes of me without my consent. It's not just a few pictures, but a whole custom model that anyone can download to generate thousands of pictures of me—saying or doing things I’ve never said or done. And yes, it produces NSFW images. 1/

State level bills get passed more quickly—as we’ve seen the revenge porn law which arrived 21 years ahead of federal. So while it’s not perfect, it’s the best thing regular people can hope for in terms of protection right now. 6/

Imagine today, without AI-specific regulations, if you come to new harms due to AI that’s not yet in the law books, you might have no recourse as a victim because whatever happens to you may not yet be considered illegal, as was the case for revenge porn victims in the past. 5/

This means that up till now, depending on the state you live in, it was legal for someone to share explicit photos of you, and there would be nothing you can do if it destroyed your life. 4/

An example: the US recently criminalized revenge porn. This federal law comes 21 years after the first state passed protection in 2004. Twenty-one years later! 3/

While regulations at federal level is ideal so that laws can be standardized nation-wide, in reality, it takes an extremely long time to happen—sometimes decades—which could leave people with no recourse if they experience new harms due to AI in the meantime. 2/

The US was proposing a ban on AI regulations at state levels in a new bill—it’s been officially struck down. This is good news because now states can pass regulations to protect people from potential Al harms quickly, which we all need today. 1/

It was interesting to see og Gundam kept pliable in design and animation like in the original series. I thought they would get rid of the bendiness, but it was surprising to see it depicted! #GQuuuuuuX

GQuuuuuuX was an interesting take on Gundam. It didn’t go how I expected, but I loved them giving some characters their happy endings. Was very charmed by a lot of the designs, & quality of the animation was so gorgeous. Thank you to all the staff for your hard work! #GQuuuuuuX
