Alison says her grandmother would have been delighted that she was able to evidence so much of what Mark Jenner did at this inquiry. #spycops

@ednewtonrex Ultimately it comes down to offering users choice and more options, which many have asked for. These are optional models. Firefly is still only trained on licensed content.

Let’s talk AI. Tools like Generative Fill have become a huge time saver for many creators (one of the top 5 used features in PS 🤯), but some still have concerns around gen AI. Whether you love it or not, I want to hear your thoughts! Let loose but please keep it respectful.

A remarkable Roman statuette of a frog sculpted in rare green porphyry. Also known as 'Spartan basalt', the striking volcanic stone was found only in a single quarry near the village of Krokees in the Peloponnese, and was rarely used for figurative sculptures in antiquity owing as much to its excessive hardness as to its scarcity. Speckled with feldspar crystals, the stone has been cleverly selected to mimic the amphibian's moist and mottled skin. A toad sculpted in red 'rosso antico' marble is also known from Hadrian's Villa at Tivoli, where it probably served as decoration in the extensive gardens, and a similar context can also be imagined for this piece. Height: 11cm, Length: 22cm 1st-3rd century AD Gorny & Mosch Auctions

@jasonzada @secret__level 1. Coke said it took 20 people where it would otherwise have taken 50, so the ‘entire team’ is 60% smaller than it would have been 2. The interview doesn’t mention that the models are built on the theft of other people’s work

@infiniteyay Then with art there are boundaries, bound to context & function. Its wilful ignorance to pretend art has no context & function. Similar to the wilful ignorance of IP law by corporations in pursuit of profit. I.e datasets built through systematic scraping of copyrighted artworks.

@Bincent_La_Kin I think your point is very valid. I agree it can be very powerful to understand boundaries and constraints so then you can break them and explore outside of them. Great art can come from ignorance of constraints as well as knowing the rules so you can break them.

@arielxpink @spark1emark Entire agenda and discourse of the last 30 years has shifted to the right, tenants of right wing thought an action have become centred and mainstream. The left is now right. Ariel Pink is sad and confused. Lots of people in the uk are. They paint flags and harass people.

@emollick LLMs are extensions of social media, the way that such data driven tech is utilised in the framework of our culture, social norms, democracies ect needs to be questioned, it effects quantified and ultimately we need regulation. LLMs are not just a neutral 'tool'...

As someone who has been working on democratizing education for decades (Media Lab, Wikipedia admin, making early MOOCs, games for education, AI and teaching), I do see every advance making a difference, so I am still very positive But social media remains a warning worth heeding

X (and other social media sites) make our 1990s optimism about the Information Age seem silly. Even with all of the world's information a click away (& a free AI that can help explain that information in a personalized way), half-mangled anecdotes with no source win every time.

New reporting today showing the absolute flood of AI music on Spotify. - 'Aventhis' has more than a million monthly Spotify listeners; one of his tracks has 2 million+ plays; he has released 57 songs in 4 months; he has an official Spotify-generated ‘THIS IS… Aventhis' playlist; its creator admits openly it is AI music. - 'The Devil Inside' is an AI band with 700,000 monthly listeners, a track with 1.5 million plays. Also AI. - 'Nick Hustles' has 200,000 monthly listeners. Also AI. etc. etc. etc. AI music is not just everywhere on Spotify (& other platforms) - it's *getting listens*. Following the verdict in the Meta AI copyright lawsuit the other day, which said AI training will likely be illegal if plaintiffs focus on market impact, this is highly relevant to the lawsuits brought against Suno & Udio. The market impact could not be clearer. Generative AI competes with the work it's trained on, and the people behind that work. Absolutely fantastic reporting from @musicbizworld. musicbusinessworldwide.com/the-ai-music-p…

@DrChrisParry You imagine demons to rage against on social media that promotes and profits from data and traffic generated from rage, this platform cares nothing for your country or any nation state, you and countless others in positions of influence bear no responsibility for the consequences

For most vain, conceited and intellectually lazy people, ‘white privilege’ appears to bestow the opportunity to slag your country, ethnicity and heritage off without bearing any responsibility for the consequences.

@iamfakhrealam Why value creative labour when you could promote widespread IP theft in service of your corporate overlords ?

We are deeply disappointed that the Data Bill will not include the necessary provisions to keep creators' works safe from being used without their knowledge or permission by AI companies, despite clear and unified calls from across the creative industries. (1/3)
