Overlai CEO @lukedneumann discussed the importance of ethical AI training data today on @BBCWorld.
"I'm not against the artists participating in this auction, nor necessarily even Christie's.
Our biggest issue is with the training data that makes all of this possible and the fact that it's all been used without consent to build these tools."
When AI videos are just as good as normal videos, I wonder what that will do to YouTube and how it will impact the millions of creators currently making content for a living.. scary times.
Just in: details of the Anthropic class action settlement filed for court approval.
Anthropic agrees to $1.5 BILLION paid to the class members.
"The largest publicly reported copyright recovery in history" !
You take hours, days, even weeks or months to capture the perfect photograph. It comes out brilliantly. Then two weeks later you see AI create variants of it; it can now suck in all that original art online and create images off of it. It's wrong and it's moving fast.
Luckily, you have warriors in @PaulNicklen@lukedneumann and the team at @overlai_app who used blockchain to encapsulate and protect the provenance of your genius. You should support their work.

Hey @JoeMcNallyPhoto love your work, but AI does too. I shouldn't be able to go to an LLM and recreate your amazing creations like I did. You need to talk to @PaulNicklen + team @overlai_app who have created solutions to protect your work.
What's that? You're having a nice Sunday?
How about a VC from one of the top Venture Capital firms @MenloVentures showing people how to automate the removal of watermarks from photographer Nate Zeman.
How about now?
How about now?

Aptos founders are making major Moves around the world.
Congratulations @lukedneumann@overlai_app for bringing art on Aptos to a global stage with @BBCWorld!
In the age of AI, this is how creativity thrives on-chain.
I'll expand a bit.
I've been thinking a lot about what GenAI "frees up" for creators.
A lot of people have said it frees up ideas to be realized faster and I think this can be a net negative for creativity.
As a filmmaker and a founder, I have a LOT of ideas. Very few of them are worth taking the distance.
Often times what helps me narrow down and refine these ideas is the creative risk associated with them.
Removing that, almost entirely, will be a net positive for a lot of things.
I'm not sold that it's a great thing for creativity. Creativity almost requires that friction as a lowpass filter.
The risk factor with GenAI isn't 0, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that I think many people will ultimately find that they are no more creative than they were pre-GenAI because they are not being forced to be creative enough.
Does that make sense?

โItโs not really enjoyable to make music nowโฆ it takes a lot of time, it takes a lot of practice, you have to get really good at an instrument or really good at a piece of production software. I think the majority of people donโt enjoy the majority of time they spend making music.โ Founder of @suno_ai_@MikeyShulman
Always interesting to hear someone with a completely opposite view to me.
We have had the pleasure of working closely with the team at @Aptos for the past year or so.
There is an organizational professionalism that you simply do not find in many blockchain projects.
It's a bit flippant to discredit the work @moshaikh has done to get the project to this point, first of all.
Getting a project like this from "zero to one" is a task that 99.9999999% of us would fail miserably at, on day one.
Secondly, we've worked closely with @AveryChing in the C2PA for a while now and we can confidently say that there's not a better technical mind in the space.
Listening to him talk about the tech is like watching a scene from Good Will Hunting.
Wicked smart.
Our team at @overlai_app chose to build on Aptos because of the pedigree of the founders, their team, and their tech.
