Billionaires spend every saved penny on eliminating jobs, lobbying against our rights, stealing our data, and manipulating us.
Therefore, even if the government defrauds every single penny from them, society will still be better off.

[Rishi Sunak @RishiSunak]

You will always be better at spending your own money than the government is.

"Sir, our newest model is surprisingly good at creating CSAM. Should we take it down?"
"God forbid! It's our key market! And it's a perfect pretext to spy on our customers. I would call it win-win, but my lawyer told me to avoid saying that when talking about CSAM."

[Adobe @Adobe]

Adobe may also use technologies and other processes, including escalation for manual (human) review, to screen for certain types of illegal content (such as child sexual abuse material), or other abusive content or behavior.

@Oceanic_Blue2 Yes, there has been a lot of good news recently, but geez, where DOJ have been until now? Creatives have been fighting for two years now.

I'm not sure why people are surprised that Vox partnered with OpenAI. Matthew Yglesias, Vox cofounder, is an effective altruist, and SBF donated money to Vox to form a unit to promote effective altruism.
They have been promoting A/I since 2022, including anti-artist articles.

[Vox Media @voxmedia]

We’re excited to partner with @openai to help inform ChatGPT and to develop innovative products for our audiences and advertising partners. https://t.co/f4Y50TGQRY

@ProgressChamber I think you need to create another shell non-profit, Zuck. Everyone knows this chamber pot is just a proxy of Meta, Adobe, Google and Microsoft.

*Angry tech CEO voice* Okay, who did this?!

"AI imagery has overtaken several Rafah-focused hashtags on Instagram and Facebook."

If anything, it takes away people's eyes from Rafah. Instead of seeing real tragedy, people see fake A/I-generated slop that looks like it was taken from a cute Pixar movie.

[Joseph Cox @josephfcox]

New from 404 Media: we traced the viral All Eyes on Rafah image to a Facebook group that aims to make the "AI industry prosper." Was posted as early as February https://t.co/Zj8uAfJKiR

@eldsjal Your personality was the final straw that made me unsubscribe from your service.

[Reef @reefraf64]

@neilturkewitz @kortizart It's a pity because there are people at Apple who know what's what.

[Reef @reefraf64]

Hey, @epidemicsound, could you start verifying the composers who upload songs to your platform? If I needed Suno-generated slop, I wouldn't be using your service. 😞

Google: Trust us. Generative AI is not overhyped.
Also Google:

#ChatDirector is a research prototype that brings 3D avatars and automatic layout transitions to your 2D laptop screen, transforming online meetings to be more immersive and dynamic. Check it out → https://t.co/Vh0mhjnqw9

@ZakugaMignon Whenever I'm looking to hire an artist/writer/musician/actor, and I see a candidate using any genAI, I immediately blacklist them.
Not only is it unethical to use genAI, but also, how could I trust them to not use genAI for the stuff I'm paying them for?

[Reef @reefraf64]

Another day, another A/I stock tumble. Dell published a report that revealed that demand for A/I servers is waning, forcing Dell to sell them at nearly 0% margin.

[Reef @reefraf64]

Salesforce shares tumble 20% because there are no signs of revenue growth after they invested billions in generative AI.
It appears that "trust us, people will start using our extremely expensive, yet completely unreliable A/I tools any moment now" doesn't work anymore.

[Reef @reefraf64]

Some are surprised that Neil Druckmann is into A/I, but how can he not be? After all, A/I made his lifelong dream come true—a magic button that hurts Palestinians when pressed.

@uracate @ourokronii There are no heartfelt intentions in AI.

[Reef @reefraf64]

Just so you know. Right before this show started, the CEO of Disney, Bob Iger, said on this stage:
Hollywood Storytellers Need to ‘Embrace the Change' Driven by Tech.

He wants those people to shape our art and entertainment.

[Daniel @growing_daniel]

Silicon Valley (the series) is so back

[Reef @reefraf64]

It's fitting that the only CEO who still considers the offer is the one who has caused his company to lose 70% of its value since he was appointed.

[Reef @reefraf64]

Bloomberg reports that Alphabet and Meta tried to license content from movie studios to train their models. Netflix and Disney said no. Warner still considers the offer.
Studios know it would be a death sentence, and no director would work with them again.
