A movie you've watched more than six times, using only GIFs

Do it.

If you want to support some of the best journalism that's critical of AI and big tech, Blood in the Machine is where it's at. Brian is a tireless warrior in this fight and I can't recommend his work enough. Also highly recommend his book of the same name about the true history of the Luddites

Send this to people who claim AI isn't taking artists' jobs. There is no amount of 'adapting' that will spontaneously generate more work if companies decide they don't want to pay you anymore. www.ft.com/content/185e...

Hallucinations are inevitable and likely an unsolvable problem. "By employing results from learning theory, we show that LLMs cannot learn all the computable functions and will therefore inevitably hallucinate if used as general problem solvers." arxiv.org/abs/2401.11817

Remember when Gage got hit by that truck in Pet Sematary, then came back from the dead all wrong? I'm at an age where that's how my body feels the morning after a single game of string bowling above the local combination gas station supermarket.

1/8 Fun update on that GenAi Christies show. They lie quite a bit about their own show. Here’s a few: Lie #1 Christies says work on the show comes from data which was trained on participants own inputs in this article below: techcrunch.com/2025/02/08/c... This just isn’t the case.

I stumbled across this really good video from EJ Fox called, Why Make Slop? "If you're gonna automate a bunch of processes, why is the end result of your automation something that sucks?" This part resonated with me, but it's worth watching the whole thing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0p5o...

New AI copyright lawsuit just dropped! This one is from publishers such as The Atlantic, Politico, Vox, Forbes, The Guardian, Los Angeles Times, and Business Insider. They allege stealing data to compete in the same market, same as the lawsuit Reuters just won 🔥 www.wsj.com/business/med...

Claire Silver, who says "taste is the new skill", has issued an entirely vibes based manifesto on why AI doesn't steal. Claire uses Midjourney extensively, so here's her manifesto next to what MJ can do based on 1-2 word, non-specific prompts. Is this inspiration or plagiarism?

One of the most frustrating things AI proponents say is, "You just don't understand the technology." It implies that AI is universally good and ethical, and that disagreement or criticism can only come from a place of ignorance, rather than understanding. Don't let them gaslight you.

Reminder that OpenAI is still plagiarizing and infringing, and that ChatGPT is not smart at all. I didn't ask for Spider-Man by name, but ChatGPT gave me Spider-Man, while ALSO telling me it can't give me Spider-Man. Calls it a 'unique super hero inspired by a spider."

Even in China, AI is taking major hits in terms of copyright infringement. This is a ruling that's against a platform that provides fine tuned LoRAs of copyrighted materials, specifically Ultraman in this case, and says they are 'aiding and abetting infringement.'

This is a big deal, a judge has rejected the fair-use defense in the Reuters AI copyright suit. The issue is ingestion and use of data in a way that doesn't pass two of the four fair use factors. This case isn't gen AI, but it's notable because gen AI is even more egregious with data🧵
