He reveals AI is simply a human expertise laundering machine that steals data without paying royalties. Many of the wordings that encapsulate LLMs and AI resonate with me, so does this.

@nofilmschool More AI junk.

The “AI in Hollywood” debate is exhausting. Scriptlaunch takes a smarter angle: don’t replace the writer—support them. #sponsored nofilmschool.com/scriptlaunch-r…

@Kitten_Sophie Breath work is an amazing thing and, of course, not a quick fix, but detrimental. Heart coherence breathing for 10 - 20 mins a day, among other breathing techniques, really slows it all down - the CNS has no other option. Peace 🙏

as it turns out having your nervous system running on pure survival mode for many years does not end well 🙃

@ednewtonrex Thank you, Ed. Appreciated!

The reason it is so important that we introduce transparency laws over AI training data is that AI training is one of the only instances of mass copyright infringement that is mostly invisible to the rights holder. Usually, when someone uses your copyrighted work commercially without permission, you can see it happening. Maybe they modify your picture and use it on a magazine cover; maybe they pirate your film and resell it; maybe they steal your melody and use it in their own song. In each case, the infringement is out there in the open. That means (i) you are unlikely to miss it, and (ii) it is easy to hold the perpetrators accountable in the courts. AI training is different. It happens behind closed doors, and the result - the trained model - might not make the infringement obvious. Models trained on copyrighted work will sometimes output obviously copyrighted work, but, much of the time, the fact that your work has been used in training isn’t obvious. So people’s work has been copied and exploited for commercial purposes, but that copying is hidden. This is why we need new laws requiring AI companies to reveal the training data they use. Training commercial AI models on copyrighted work without permission is straight-up illegal in some countries (e.g. the UK), and there are strong arguments it is illegal in many cases in others (e.g. the US). But rights holders can't defend themselves under the law if the use of their work is kept hidden. The only reason these transparency laws aren't more widespread already is AI industry lobbying. Governments need to resist this, and introduce transparency requirements as a matter of urgency.

@paultantk @capcutapp Oh, damn, you are right (oops). I obviously have a misdirected gripe with AI-USA. Cheers Paul.....good one :)

@JasonJonesJoe @capcutapp "before the chinese win" ...do you not know where capcut is from?

Introducing CapCut Video Studio, a timeline-free way to create videos on CapCut Web with Dreamina Seedance 2.0. One AI canvas for everything you need from ideation, storyboarding, generation, and editing.

@capcutapp BTW, all of your AI features are worse than crap so far. I tried them to see what they do, and that time was better spent on video editing!

@LeronAssist slop

Leron X — create videos of any length with automatic scene stitching. AI analyzes your audience, tests content, and automates publishing and promotion. All growth tools for your account in one.

I guess enshittifying content and processes leads to enshitification of the mind and its ability. It makes sense!

@stijnnoorman Stupid comparison. I see you have simple ideas that make you rich on your website, too. How long have you been peddling bullshit (human-written)?

People who refuse to use AI are like farmers who refused to use tractors.

Good point. My guess is that they are after the quick money with minimal effort. They have seen people make money doing these things and see an opportunity to jump in.

@kunalbinjewar09 @rmstein Naa. The biggest leap is stealing content to feed their own machine and pockets.

@rmstein The shift from querying the public web to querying your personal context is probably the biggest leap in Search behavior we've seen. Bridging global information with local data (Gmail/Photos) turns a search engine into a personalized Chief of Staff. Massive milestone, Robby!

Today, we’re opening up access to Personal Intelligence for AI Mode in Search in the U.S. 🚀 This feature has totally changed how I use AI in Search. Here’s how it works: 1️⃣ Opt in to connect apps like Gmail and Google Photos. Search connects your info to give you responses that uniquely match your specific context and interests. 2️⃣ Start asking for things like ideas and recommendations, where this is particularly helpful. For example: I wanted new podcast ideas and Personal Intelligence in AI Mode gave me spot-on recs for AI and product building shows that are similar to some of my favorites (hey @lennysan!). It even found some unexpected options around dad life working in tech. 🎧

@rmstein Why are you not linking to the sources in the doc as we would naturally do in web text? I can see the links on the side, which I guess is where you steal the content from. Looks like it is made to keep the user on Google to me! With respect!

That is a good summary. I wish the governments would see the truth and reel these tech-obsessed thieves back into humanity.

It really is astonishing! It is just ok and legal to take another's work, manipulate it (or summarize), and then monetize it (or use it for a company/brand advantage), without any care, compensation, or request from the original creators. It still remains shocking!

@jachiam0 So, I shall put my need for food, health, and other needs, plus the desire for no war, in your hands and your other AI friends? Right.......pull the other one - it has bells on it. I trust drug pushers more than AI pushers!

We're entering the phase of AI politics where society will intensely debate whether it is a good idea to build AI at all. Builders need to make the case. The way I see it, AI is our best chance to defeat hunger, want, death, and war. It's a moral imperative to try.

@ednewtonrex I guess a website...dontstealmycontent.dot.com makes total sense too. Thanks for all you do for creatives Ed!

It has been incredibly heartening meeting so many people determined to resist the AI industry’s attempts to exploit creatives at London Book Fair this week. 10,000 authors signed our book protesting book theft by AI companies, but so many more have stopped by to show support. At an event like this, it really hits you how deep the mistrust of AI, and the support for humans, runs. London Book Fair is a slop-free zone, a glorious celebration of real human creativity. Just tens of thousands of books, and the people who work incredibly hard to bring them into the world. Power to humans. #LBF

@AnthropicAI Thieves stealing from thieves. Perfect!

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.

@inspiredtaste @CBSMornings @Bloomberg @lilyraynyc @rustybrick @glenngabe @gregfinn And they should. However, like many queries, a user should jump past the AIO or first few results, but they won't. Years of 1 - 2% CTR below the fold (viewport if you like) prove this. We all know (and G) that the top of the results gets the attention. Good press though!

Shout out to @CBSMornings for covering the @Bloomberg AI recipe article. This issue is going full blown mainstream. Major news outlets have reached out for interviews. This issue isn’t going to be ignored! cc @lilyraynyc @rustybrick @glenngabe @gregfinn tiktok.com/t/ZTrMx5FjP/

@jakezward Looks like they winning to me!

Reddit just lost 82% of its AI citations overnight. (and Wall Street noticed) ChatGPT's Reddit citations dropped from 29.2% to 5.3% in days. And their stock fell 15% over 8 days. The cause? Google changed a single indexing parameter that limited what LLMs could access in search results. One technical tweak. Billions in market value gone. Here's what nobody's talking about: Reddit didn't change anything. Their content is still there. Their users are still posting. Their traffic didn't collapse. But their value to AI companies evaporated. This reveals something critical about the new internet economy. We're not just building on platforms anymore. We're building on whether AI models can see those platforms. Reddit's entire AI strategy was based on being visible to LLMs. They signed a $60M deal with Google for AI training data. Then Google's indexing change made Reddit less accessible to ChatGPT specifically. The market reacted like Reddit lost a major revenue stream. Because in a way, they did. The dependency goes both ways now: Companies depend on AI visibility the same way they used to depend on SEO. AI companies depend on access to fresh, human-generated content. When that connection breaks, billions disappear. Here's the irony: Reddit signed that $60M data-sharing deal with Google over a year ago. They're now in talks for deeper AI integration to funnel Google traffic into Reddit forums for content generation. They're negotiating with the same company whose parameter change caused the damage... Did we just watch the first major AI visibility crisis play out in real time?
