It's interesting that we *rightly* view the Louvre Heist as a crime when a physical asset (i.e., a rich person's property) has been taken without consent, but AI art/music based off real artists work is simply 'the future' with no recourse for credit, let alone royalty payments.

Protesters for the No Kings Day are now in the thousands by my count. Music being played, folks dancing. A shark with a One Piece flag hip thrusting to a Spanglish cover of Jailhouse Rock.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

This week in 1988: 1,000+ ACT UP demonstrators shut down the FDA headquarters, demanding (and eventually winning) action on developing HIV/AIDS treatments. ACT UP's militant and creative actions always included powerful visual artwork, and paved the way for movements in the decades to come.

The best part of the LA protests have been the costumes, music, and dancing. But this has truly been next level!
Portland's famous Unipiper was spotted at the Portland ICE protest where he played his bagpipes in front of Santa, Mr. Potato Head, Garfield and more -- all while surrounded by bubbles.

All true, but... GenAI doesn't have to be ANY of these things. The problem (as always) isn't the technology; it's who controls and develops it. 1/2

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

Remember when Trump announced a multimillion-dollar secret deal with CEO David Ellison?
And then — shocker — Trump approved Ellison buying CBS/Paramount.
Now, Ellison wants to take over CNN/Warner Bros.
This media merger must be blocked as a dangerous concentration of power.
