I think I need to start 2021 with a new policy, any of the newly un-credited tweets of my images with my logos cropped out I'll need removed.
Adding a reply tweet sadly isn't enough because too many people Pin the pic on Pinterest, where credit is lost, and spreads further.

@hive_ai your website says "Our Image Generation model is built for prime image quality with a training set of billions of images, the largest training set among
its competitors."
What's in your dataset, is it opt in or opt out? Do you use LAION? Can artist styles be prompted?

[Fancy Fairy Wings @FaeryAngela]

@Cara_HQ What dataset does Hive use for its own generative text2image models? I can't find any info on that at all

[Fancy Fairy Wings @FaeryAngela]

@heygabimara @zemotion There's a new TOS this year, there's a couple areas that seem contradictory, like lumping 'Customers' into the 'users' definition. They also reserve the right to change their terms without notice, & you can't bring any class action claims against them

A released Palestinian prisoner says in Arabic that Israel held them in the cold w/o electricity, "sprayed us w/ pepper spray" & "left us to die."

She never mentioned Hamas or a word like it. Yet @BBC translated to: "No one helped us. Only Hamas cared...We love them very much."

@WIRED @Knibbs Also, judge's scathing footnote on pg 14
"I will not be as generous with leave to amend on the next, expected rounds of motions to dismiss and I will expect a greater level of specificity as to each claim alleged and the conduct of each defendant in support of each claim."

[Fancy Fairy Wings @FaeryAngela]

@WIRED @Knibbs Correction: Orrick didn't grant leave to amend for *all* claims. Ortiz's & McKernan's © claims were dismissed WITH PREJUDICE, those claims are dead. Andersen's © claim survived since she actually registered her work. Right of publicity claims by the other 2 have leave to amend

@arijitchakrav @NatanMitch @jvipondmd Okay but then *who* is paying these non-experts to spout misinformation? Who is this benefiting?

[Nate Bear @NateB_Panic]

It turns out the British government gave more than 2.3 million vulnerable and older people a covid vaccine that isn’t matched to the currently dominant covid strains. And they did it to use up old stock and save money🧵

I've been. Twice. It was lovely. But to get there, we had to wait the entire day at a crossing where Israeli guards called my family the n word and didn't allow me, a 6 year-old, to use the bathroom. My mom and auntie had to cover me while I pee'd outside and soldiers watched.

@CoreyBrickley Pretty sure it's copyright infringement if you're wrong, if you're so against genAI because you think it's theft, then shouldn't you double-check to make sure whose image you're putting onto a platform you know is going to be scraped?

"...the state 'lied to the Judge in court that they didn't have these COVID-19 records'...The data was withheld during the worst of the Delta variant outbreak, at the same time that schools were attempting to use the data to make reopening and mitigation determinations."

Big Novavax update❗️Spoke to FFF Enterprises, a huge national bio-supplier, who’s contracted to distribute Novavax. They are taking orders NOW but don’t have it in stock yet. They expect to be shipping the 3rd/4th week of October. Call your pharmacist & ask them to order it now.

@rnussbaum11 @SFdirewolf Please do!

[COVID-19 Longhauler Advocacy Project @C19LH_Advocacy]

Please join us in asking our members of congress to support several pieces of #LongCOVID and #pandemicpreparedness legislation, outlined in the action here: https://t.co/bET98O7c7I

Why is this important for *everyone* to do?
We are in drastic need of #research, #access to timely, quality #medicalcare from providers with experience in needed areas which lacked prior to the pandemic, and public and provider #education. Without the support and engagement from #congress, we will not see or receive the processes and steps needed for interventions and care for #LongCOVID, all while the number of people impacted by it continued to grow daily. Congressional members are not out reading research, and not paying attention to one or two inquires. We need to be consistent and numerous in our efforts, and we especially need support in areas where #stigmatization towards #LongCOVID is exacerbated, to gain their support, so that we can see progress and improve #patientoutcomes.

C19LAP has done a lot to build the car, but without our wheels (all of you), the car stays in park.
We are asking each and every single one of you to complete this action and get friends, family, and others you know, to participate and share as well. We ask that you also share this across your social media platforms and #LongCOVID and #chronicillness spaces. Benefits that can come from these bills will be widespread. Thank you for your support & participation!

Finally, the FDA has authorized the Novavax XBB booster, without restrictions. The NVX het. boost option is 1) up to 9x more effective at preventing infections, 2) has fewer side effects, 3) provides durable, broad protection vs new variants

Japan's COVID mitigation messaging centering "3 Cs" (CLOSED SPACES, CROWDED PLACES, and CLOSE-CONTACT SETTINGS) really needs to be used more. I'm so tired of people being surprised they're sick after being barefaced in a crowd of 100+, literally shoulder-to-shoulder each other.

[Fancy Fairy Wings @FaeryAngela]

@throwawall @martinmcneil I agree, & I've been surprised by how many artists trace their references & see it as acceptable. Saw a thread with everyone arguing whether tracing is ok, with a LOT arguing it is, & that it's better than using GAI to make a new image. I think tracing is worse

"We’re going to take the virus out of commission... and see if people feel better.” — @MichaelPelusoMD, @UCSF

Second major therapy trial targeting viral persistence in #LongCovid now underway, funded by @patientled & @polybioRF https://t.co/MpYBIZKmLg

[Angela M. Vázquez made 🦠their whole personality @AngelaMSWinCA]

Over HALF of farmworkers w/ COVID histories in this study had symptoms of #LongCOVID including fatigue.

Perhaps bc this is a profession defined by overexertion and 0 rest?!

@CAPublicHealth @DHCS_CA WHAT are we doing about this?!
