Sam Altman isn't keen on you reading my book. EMPIRE OF AI is based on 300+ interviews, 7 yrs covering AI, and my time as the first reporter who got extensive access to OpenAI. I sought OpenAI's perspective throughout. For months they said it was coming. It never did. Pre-order here: empireofai.com.

A nonexistent government agency, DOGE, was just granted full access to US Education Dept. confidential files, including student loans and parents/grandparents financial data.
When federal judges let fictional entities access confidential government information the rule of law is defeated.

One more reminder that webglaze serves all its users on the equivalent power of 50% of a single outdated data center GPU. Or you can run glaze on a modern laptop and glaze an image in about 2 mins. Unlike AI companies busy training the latest models, you won’t disrupt any power grids. I promise.

Make no mistake,GenAi companies will try and dismantle all protections that creatives have over their work in the US too. They KNOW they cant win lawsuits because they broke the law. But they can try and change the laws.
Folks, prepare yourselves to fight this tooth and nail.

Some artists suggested that we pin a summary of Glaze, Nightshade & other projects here. Instead, I will point them to Melissa Heikkilä's article on our lab and projects. It is the definitive story of who we are, how we got here, and why we do what we do.
