Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.
OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

thats fundamentally how rightoids and maga dipshits kept winning so much despite being numerically unpopular. They raised their voices and caused a stink while normal people never so much as send an email.
yelling at your reps to stop being dipshits genuinely has to become part of your life routine

This is not how corporations respond to an ineffective protest. This is how they respond to a protest that they would like to have go away.
So don't let it go away. Keep it going.
In fact, Streissand Effect this shit. Call attention to how much they want this to go away.

Blow those AI farms up
behold the "HTML bomb"
It's a counterattack for AI companies that persistently scrape and rescrape your web site, even when you tell them not to
when a scraper grabs it, it becomes a 10-gig HTML page and 💣 goes the scraper

I firmly believe it's not just about killing media and economies, it's about discouraging people from having media literacy, pursuing art, or having passions that don't revolve around being a wage slave dedicated to the fascist state.
the simple, unavoidable, ugly truth is that AI companies are killing the media industry: they're destroying the revenue streams of news, of publishers, of nonfiction titles - and this loss will impoverish the world and their own products www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Apparently ICE is about to start putting out ads on platforms?
If these ads come to Twitch, here's a (hopefully) handy tip when one comes on:
1. Click the gear icon, bottom right of the player.
2. Click "Report Playback Issue".
3. Select this option.
Hopefully this will work!

honestly, the only way google should've added AI should have been a drop-down tab that could give you more effectively worded searches. might not even have needed to be AI

so glad this is being said by a bigger voice in the music scene because it really sucks to see so many ppl lob vsynth software under a genAI umbrella just because it uses the phrase "AI"
Synthesizer V uses AI vocal synthesis, but it’s not generative AI like ChatGPT or Midjourney. It creates voice from written input using licensed voice models, with full consent from the voice providers.
