The new world of Academia and AI today.

#academicsky
A screenshot of an email from Academia.edu (received today) that shows their logo and a message that reads: “Our Al turned your paper "Recording the Creative" into a shareable comic.” Underneath is a button labelled “Explore Impact Hub”. At the bottom a small message reads “Don't want Al to create outputs of your papers? Change Al Settings.” Are they trolling me? A screenshot of the Academia.edu Google “Al Overview.” It reads: “Academia.edu is a commercial platform for academics to share research papers, discover new work, and connect with other researchers. While it offers free access to read research, it also has paid features and has been criticized for its business practices, such as sending spammy emails and pushing users towards premium subscriptions.”

A strange case between The Yves Klein Estate and Stuart Semple. For two self-styled ‘provocateurs’ of paint, the infringement outlined seems fairly mundane and petty. For info: gofund.me/41ee201c
Screenshot of the available information (from Stuart Semple), which reads: Well it's a bit weird - you’d expect it was that l'd spent 10 years of my life making a blue paint as good as his. But no - they admit my formula is different. Their problem is me using the word KLEIN on the packaging. They asked the judge to seize all the paint and destroy it. Luckily the judge said no. They also complained about me painting my hand blue as Yves did that too. They won that argument. Seems they now have ownership of artists painting their hands blue. Screenshot of the Wall Street Journal video made on the paint development - which can be accessed via the link in post.

Hello - my first post - moving from Twitter - a recent snap of the Northern Lights - from here.
Northern Lights: photo shows some cloud at the bottom, from which pale green and violet lights sweep upwards against a night sky - with tiny stars twinkling.
