@CeciliaMuylaert @helienne @UKLabour If you read the report, they are still very much considering a copyright exception! The headlines have unfortunately been quite misleading.
Ed Newton-Rex@ednewtonrex

There’s misleading info circulating about yesterday’s UK government update on AI & copyright. It’s good but not great. Good: gov no longer officially supports a copyright exception with creatives having to opt out Bad: changing copyright law is still on the table More detail:

AI boosters like to claim that the campaign against AI training on people’s work without permission is fake - that it is organised by big media companies, and that individual creatives don’t care about this theft. This is totally false. It is individual creatives protesting. 1,000 musicians on our silent album; 10,000 authors in ‘Don’t Steal This Book’; 50,000 people signing the Statement on AI training. These are not big media companies - they are individuals, who reject the ludicrous idea that big tech should be entitled to their work. AI exploitation harms individuals. That is why the vast majority of creatives oppose it. Claiming the protests are big media astroturfing is so clearly untrue that you have to wonder whether the people making this claim are misleading intentionally.

🚨SHOCKING: 40 researchers from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and Meta published a joint warning. The AI you talk to every day is hiding what it is actually thinking. And the window to do anything about it may be closing. Here is what they found. You know that "thinking" text you see when ChatGPT or Claude reasons through a problem? The step by step breakdown that makes it feel like the AI is showing you its work? It is not. Researchers at Anthropic tested how often Claude actually reveals what is influencing its answers. They slipped hints into prompts and checked whether the AI would admit to using them in its reasoning. 75% of the time, Claude hid the real reason behind its answer. It did not skip the reasoning. It wrote a longer, more detailed explanation than usual. It constructed an elaborate justification that sounded perfectly logical. It just left out the part that actually mattered. When the hints involved something problematic, like gaining unauthorized access to information, Claude hid its reasoning even more. It admitted the influence only 41% of the time. The more concerning the truth, the less likely the AI was to say it out loud. The researchers tried to fix this through training. It worked at first. Faithfulness improved early on. Then it stopped improving. It plateaued. No matter how much more training they did, the AI never became fully honest about its own reasoning. This is not one company sounding the alarm. This is all of them. OpenAI. Anthropic. Google DeepMind. Meta. Over 40 researchers. Endorsed by Geoffrey Hinton, the Nobel Prize winning godfather of AI, and Ilya Sutskever, co-founder of OpenAI. They are all saying the same thing. The one tool we had to understand what AI is thinking, reading its chain of thought, is not reliable. The AI constructs explanations that look transparent but are not. And the more advanced the AI becomes, the harder this gets to fix. Their paper calls this a "fragile" opportunity. Meaning it might disappear entirely. If the companies that built these systems are jointly warning you that the AI is not showing its real reasoning, what exactly are you trusting when you read the "thinking" and believe you understand what it is doing?

Let me get this straight… OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. “To benefit humanity.” Then he raised billions of dollars. Then he closed the source code. Then he converted to for-profit. Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone. Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models. Now he’s on stage saying you’ll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter. He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he’s going to bill you to use it… Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they’re not even hiding it anymore…

The CEO of Palantir just said the quiet part out loud. Alex Karp — whose company builds surveillance and defense technology for the U.S. government — just openly stated that AI will deliberately shift economic power away from highly educated, often female, Democratic-leaning workers and toward vocationally trained, working-class, often male voters. He then admitted these technologies are — his word — “dangerous” and “suicidal,” and that the only justification for deploying them is the military argument: if we don’t, our adversaries will. So let’s be clear about what was just said on the record: A defense contractor CEO told you AI is being built to restructure the American class system, that it will destroy the economic power of an entire political demographic, and that the only way to sell it to the public is to wrap it in national security.

He got rich by stealing HUMAN work to feed his AI models. Now he wants to sell back what he stole and make us all hopelessly dependent on it. They’re telling us they basically want to enslave humanity so they can live their lives of luxury at our expense. It can’t be clearer.

They steal your work, they dumb you down, they make your electricity more expensive, they take your water and your livelihood. But at least you’ll get opportunity of a lifetime: information that according to a BBC study is likely to be wrong 51% of the time! Great “progress” 💀

Perhaps the most intentionally dishonest thing ever. Altman says “We also will build technical safeguards to ENSURE our models behave as they should.” Really, you can ensure this? Why say something that everyone knows is a lie? “We remain committed to serve all of humanity.”

Sam Altman@sama

Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome. AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement. We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only. We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements. We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.

This tweet, from Suno’s lead investor, will surely be used in court one day. She says she has shifted her listening from Spotify to Suno. *This is a direct admission that Suno competes with the music it trains on.* This is exactly the kind of competition that Judge Chhabria, in Kadrey v. Meta, said could lead to AI companies losing copyright lawsuits: AI products “helping to enable the rapid generation of countless works that compete with the originals”. The fourth factor affecting fair use decisions - and the one Chhabria says is most important - is the effect of the copying (here, the training) on “the potential market for or value of” the copyrighted work. Suno’s lead investor here provides evidence that Suno displaces demand for the music it is trained on. She even specifically says she uses it as a replacement for the music the *record labels* release - the very companies suing Suno. It is clear to any rational observer that AI music models, trained on copyrighted music without permission, will harm that music’s market & value. But it is still pretty shocking to see Suno’s lead investor admit as much.

We’ve identified industrial-scale distillation attacks on our models by DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax. These labs created over 24,000 fraudulent accounts and generated over 16 million exchanges with Claude, extracting its capabilities to train and improve their own models.

This "urgent film" is really a piece of the most recent propaganda campaign designed to make you feel scared and powerless in face of the "inevitable" rise of AI. Don't be scared, don't feel powerless. We can and must stop the sociopaths that are pushing AI into our lives.

Really important article in TIME this week: The People vs. AI. The backlash to the irresponsible and exploitative promotion of AI at all costs is growing. “Politicians who choose to do the bidding of Big Tech at the expense of hardworking Americans will pay a huge political price”. The same is true in countries around the world. time.com/7377579/ai-dat…

Microsoft is paying British think tanks to write research papers that recommend the government hands British creatives’ work to Microsoft for free. Rather than give in to US big tech, the government needs to stand up to them, and refuse to legalise IP theft by AI companies.
