NEW INTERVIEW

MARCH 30TH 🚨

[Ibrahim H. @KingOfQueenz]

I don’t think I’ve ever listened to a cole album post release this much. Usually I sit with the music for so long before release to make tweaks, come up with ideas, sequencing etc. that by the time it drops I give it a break. With TFO, I just be wanting to run this shit backkkk

[J. Cole @JColeNC]

Mannnnn. Thank yall for the love. For real!!!

Yesterday I had daddy duties that came before album release celebrations. Today I got my old civic (with the brand new engine) a tour bus and some sprinters. In the trunk of my car is boxes of The Fall-Off CD’s. As a teenager I had copies of the Fayettenam Bommuh’s album that Nervous gave me to sell. I used to go up to the gas stations trying to sell the album to strangers “yo you like hip hop??” Was the beginning of the sales pitch.

When I was working on this album I had the desire to go feel that feeling again, and that’s what I’m about to do. Trunk Sale Tour 26!! I don’t know where we bout to drive to, but catch me outside! Cop a CD from me or just show love. I truly appreciate all the love and the reaction to the music.

[Charlotte Central @TFC_Charlotte]

Charlotte needs a strong crowd vs Tulsa. @aaronfearne14 team has been putting in the work and showing real improvement, and a loud Halton Arena can be the difference. Show up, bring energy, and protect home court. 🟢⚪️

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

Many of you have expressed concern about the demeaning, disjointed use of my father, Dr. #MartinLutherKingJr’s, image in AI apps. Thank you. Please see the statement below from #OpenAI and the King Estate, followed by more of my thoughts.

•••••••••

“Statement from OpenAI and King Estate, Inc.

The Estate of Martin Luther King, Jr., Inc. (King, Inc.) and OpenAI have worked together to address how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s likeness is represented in Sora generations. Some users generated disrespectful depictions of Dr. King’s image. So at King, Inc.'s request, OpenAI has paused generations depicting Dr. King as it strengthens guardrails for historical figures.

While there are strong free speech interests in depicting historical figures, OpenAI believes public figures and their families should ultimately have control over how their likeness is used. Authorized representatives or estate owners can request that their likeness not be used in Sora cameos.

OpenAI thanks Dr. Bernice A. King for reaching out on behalf of King, Inc., and John Hope Bryant and the AI Ethics Council for creating space for conversations like this.”

•••••••••••

While Daddy was a public figure, he was not an elected official, and his image is not public domain. He was a private citizen. Further, in the United States, about half the states recognize post-mortem right of publicity laws that let estates inherit and control a deceased person's name, image, or likeness, often for 50-100 years to prevent unauthorized commercial exploitation.

The words, work, and legacy of my father as a champion of social justice who was killed in a state-sanctioned assassination warrant protection. For me, many of the AI depictions never rose to the level of free speech. They were foolishness.

The King Estate is grateful for the cooperation of OpenAI in helping control the use of my father’s likeness in Sora2 digital generations.

In advancing this conversation, we hope to inspire policies or at least guardrails to control inappropriate content--while also embracing creative innovation and a commitment to the myriad of ways we can use technology for good.
