1/7 Recent unsealed documents from Bartz v Anthropic showed this internal essay “An Economic Model for Compensating Data Producers” by Anthropic’s CEO in 2021. Anthropic knew of the importance and cost of our works. They then willfully decided to steal it. Lets break this down👇

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 story blew up—almost overwhelmingly so. Wrote about why outrage goes beyond “it’s bad when profiteering execs fire ppl to cut costs” and into something more: AI co’s are trying to automate the arts—the human things that make human life worth living. bloodinthemachine.com/p/the-great-an…

AI is already killing jobs in video games. My investigation for @Wired reveals that major studios are already using AI for concept art and asset generation, foisting AI trainings on games workers and that AI is playing a role in the mass layoffs that have roiled the field.

1/ @IATSE’s vote ratified. I dont blame people for voting the way they did. They’ve been starved for 2 years by the Studios to make them desperate enough to say yes to a deal that, despite what leadership may say, has a glaring lack of protections on GenAi. Everyone I spoke to-

/ I grew up in a IATSE family. I am from a #UnionStrong home. So It breaks my heart to see IATSE’s leadership pushed towards an iceberg called Generative AI, by trying to pass a contract that allows Studios to FORCE workers to use unethical Generative AI models. Lets talk-

I'm a proud @IATSE union member, but the AI proposals from the recent Tentative Basic Agreement Summary have me feeling like IATSE is completely abandoning members like me whose jobs are exceptionally at risk from AI automation. A breakdown of why in the following thread 1/

1/ Apple “Intelligence” is here and 0 questions of “where does the data come from?” to be seen in press. APPLE is trying to shove a huge privacy risk and tech that screams scraped off the internet without consent to the public. So here’s a list of potential data sources 🧵

1/ The Concept Art Association (CAA) is doing an exciting auction to raise much needed funds so it can continue advocating for artists, our rights and livelihoods in the age of GenAI! ebay.com/usr/supporthum… Let's also talk about how effective CAA was in 2023! Huge ass thread👇

Appropos of absolutely nothing: Have you heard about the Concept Art Association? They're a US grassroots org that's talking with senators & congress to protect Artists and Creators from unfair AI business practices and abuse. They need donations! 👇🏻 #CreateDontScrape

Their Gofundme last year was successful, but they need renewed funding this year! We all believe AI is currently lead by abusive companies, so I'm putting money where my mouth is and donating 1000$ because I believe in the cause. gofundme.com/f/37grdj9ofc
