@bugmeyer It’s totally unfair, but we can take action.

I’ve filed a petition with the EU Parliament for a default Opt-In and creator compensation.
Once it’s live, I’ll share the link.

I will need all support to apply pressure!

🚨 AI companies are trying to use their vast, ill-gotten wealth to buy a change to the law in Australia.

They say they will invest in data centers *if* the Australian government hands them the work of Australian creatives. This is a grotesque abuse of power.

'Funds to compensate artists' offered in exchange are a frankly offensive proposition. They would force artists to hand over their life's work for well below what it is worth.

Artists' work is not the government's to give away to the biggest companies in the world.

"It's a different story for the more established studios with an existing following and previous titles. Game Oracle found that the use of AI by these studios resulted in a significant 40% to 60% drop in sales."

Brutal. You slop, you flop.

Reminder that Firefly isn't ethical, Adobe launders copyright with it by training on output from unethical models. This was millions upon millions of images 2 years ago, how much do you think it is now?

1/4 The over reliance of thieving GenAi is so deeply unnecessary. The iterations shown could be a few hours of work. Rendering, if starting from blender, is fast too.

All this work could EASILY be done without relying on models that steal from artists.

🚨 WOW! Anthropic Co-founder Christopher Olah openly confesses elite AI labs are completely compromised by corporate greed and geopolitical pressure!

He admits toxic incentives prevent them from doing the right thing. Tech oligarchs are gambling with humanity's future!

🔴CALL TO ACTION to fight AI! Takes 10 seconds!🔴

Please sign and share this petition to send to legislators in California to support the AI Transparency Act. It would force AI companies to provide a list of work they trained on to IP holders. ANYONE can sign!

Google says artists who upload music to YouTube have already agreed to let the company train AI on their content, according to a new lawsuit filing.

[David Munoz Velazquez @Dmunozvelazquez]

@doctorfrusna Personalmente, yo pongo el límite en no robar a los autores sin su consentimiento para entrenar una IA y que se beneficien unos pocos de ese trabajo. Para mí, el juicio no depende del resultado.

@GabrielValles I think Todd argument are a logical fallacy for 3 reasons:
Category: Confuses a tool with an agent. A pencil doesn't write by itself; AI actually designs for you.
Neutrality: A hammer doesn't plagiarize all of humanity to work.
Scale: Confuses efficiency with substitution.

Stop wasting money on expensive software.

There’s a site with 490+ free tools.

Here’s why it’s a must-bookmark for developers and creators.

It takes literally seconds for me to storyboard a shot, there is absolutely no reason to need AI built on the stolen work of millions of artists to storyboard your vision, have some damn pride and respect your peers

[David Munoz Velazquez @Dmunozvelazquez]

@Variety If the printing press democratized reading, AI democratizes the theft of intellectual property. Because art has never been accessible to just a few

[David Munoz Velazquez @Dmunozvelazquez]

@Variety A system based on the constant, widespread theft of intellectual property, which aims to replace the workers who created that knowledge and charges you a monthly fee for its use, is democratizing? Mass distribution is not democratization.

[David Munoz Velazquez @Dmunozvelazquez]

@THR Another one falls for the "quicker, easier, more seductive" path.

[Reid Southen @Rahll]

Reminder that the work we did here still holds true. These systems very easily plagiarize and regurgitate stolen work, even without a user asking or knowing.

It's referenced in the Disney, Universal, and WB lawsuits, and in the US Copyright Office's report on generative AI.

[David Munoz Velazquez @Dmunozvelazquez]

@Variety The bounds have already been pushed deep enough by creating an AI based on constant mass theft.
I don’t see how this enriches cinema, other than literally enriching AI owners.
I guess nobody has explained to him how this actually works

[David Munoz Velazquez @Dmunozvelazquez]

@daisandconfused It seems like we humans are the problem, let the AI answer you to see if it makes more sense :)
