Artists should have control over their work. But tech companies will find alternative data sources. None of this protects artists from a future where genAI models create high quality content & take attention (and revenue) away from them www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

48% of Brits believe it is more important for the UK government to support Ukraine than to maintain good relations with the US

"When Vance and the industry leaders like Sam Altman or Elon Musk or the DOGE lieutenants talk about “AI”, they are hardly talking about innovation anymore, they are talking about a project whose aim is to consolidate as much power as possible" www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/ai-is-in-i...
