I wanted to provide a thread here of some of the things I've been involved with in the fight against unethical generative AI for easy reference, starting with my work with @GaryMarcus.bsky.social. Our article shows irrefutable evidence of blatant plagiarism 🧵 spectrum.ieee.org/midjourney-c...

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

I don’t remember everyone saying years ago, "OMG search engines are transformative, you can find out basically anything, we need to train every student how to use it well, it’s here to stay, better get used to it!" yet it a) was actual information sources and b) is now getting destroyed by AI

AI doomerism has so many parallels to historic, white political panics over slave revolts. 'If our property "thinks" for itself and becomes smarter than us, then it will wipe us out' it's meant to distract from how neoliberal tech is used to commit atrocities from genocide to mass surveillance

It's the 50th anniversary of this report which revealed things like: the CIA's assassination attempts of leaders across the world, attempts at mind control, domestic surveillance, and collaboration with the mafia. It also probed illegal break-ins, blackmail, and surveillance done by FBI.

At 4C scientists predict 90% of the world’s population could die. We’re on track to hit 4C within our childrens’ lifetimes. 7,000,000,000+ avoidable deaths. Waiting for a journalist to ask a politician about this.

the lack of animation work is a cause to a bigger symptom: of the industry treating animation as lesser storytelling, as infantile, as unworthy — instead of the mass creative and financial success it is and always has been animation will never die. but the current models of its making might.

So, OpenAI is officially part of the US Army 😇 Your use of any of OpenAI's technology is now helping prime violence in Gaza and any other active military zone that the US deploys AI (which is a lot). Amazing!

I’m against generative AI because I enjoy Art and am pro-human. These parasitic tools are trying to make a ton of professions obsolete for the sake of further enriching tech capitalists.

Generative AI defenders are so funny. They genuinely think that artists will be fucked once AI companies get sued. Where have you all been? Artists profiting off of fanart still get cease and desists or have their work copyright striked. Why would AI companies get special treatment? Haha

Worth considering that one reason Bluesky doesn't always feel super fun is that current events are relentlessly horrifying and bad

It is literally going to take smoke rising from the stacks of giant ovens in concentration camps for some people to realize things have gone awry, but even then many won't care, or think "well, they probably deserved it."

"People summoned the cars to light them on fire when they arrived. Protestors were reportedly calling them “spy cars” as they were vandalized and set ablaze, and some noted how the cars can share data with the LAPD. ...The cars weren’t torched to destroy evidence as much to punish collaborators."

More and more surveillance is the requirement for participation in public life. Companies used to attempt to do this surreptitiously, but that’s no longer the case. They are now explicit that being surveilled is the cost of doing business. tech.yahoo.com/business/art...
