Do you know artists, musicians, writers, and other creative people from the San Francisco and San Jose area?

Heck do you know anyone from the San Francisco and San Jose area?

Please share the original post with them. We need more people aware and supporting people fighting to regulate Ai.

Unearthed hidden treasure from the closet. I love these editions so much, but I’m debating whether it would be better to eBay the rest, or just get the new reprints

1/3 Massive efforts are being done to ensure states do not regulate GenAI.

Regulations like CA’s AB-412. A transparency bill that terrifies Big Tech!

On Dec. 8th, there is a major hearing on this bill.

We need as many folks to show up! Come join in support of creatives!

Do artists, musicians, writers, etc. still live in the San Francisco or San Jose area of California? Do you know them?

Make sure they know about this hearing and see if they can help spread the word.
#AB412 received overwhelming support. Bcuz countless orgs & individuals spoke up, we secured a special legislative hearing to keep moving the ball forward for this bill.

Hearing is being held in the heart of Silicon Valley, SHOW UP!

Is AI inherently bad? Of course not.

The question is: WHO controls it & for what purpose?

Does anyone believe that the richest people on Earth are investing hundreds of billions in AI to improve life for ordinary people, eliminate poverty & solve global warming?

I doubt it.

Attention anyone in the San Fransisco or San Jose areas, PLEASE show up to support this hearing!

If you know someone from the San Fransisco or San Jose that is anti-Ai, tag them or share the original post with them directly.

Please help raise awareness so we can fight back!

Here is the Adobe CC plans monthly price breakdown for 12 months:

Creative Cloud Standard = $659.88
Creative Cloud Pro = $839.88

That means you pay $240 more for monthly CC Pro vs prepaid annual CC Standard. 🤦‍♂️🫤

I mean... if you are using Adobe you already are being exploited by predatory business practices, so I guess warn them about WORSE predatory practices, I guess?
Attention Adobe users! 👀⚠️

It was recently confirmed that Adobe's Black Friday sale only applies for their Ai slop Creative Cloud Pro plan, not Creative Cloud Standard. 🤔🔍

Please help raise awareness so that people who still rely on Adobe don't get exploited by predatory business practices. 🚫🤖

Microsoft is now warning investors about the pushback against its massive data centers.

The tech giant's latest earnings reports says: “We also face community opposition, local moratoriums and hyper-local dissent that may impede or delay infrastructure development."

DTE found its way to a loophole in the 2023 Clean Energy law that requires them to get to 100% renewable energy by 2040. Now they want to green light the project that would allow them to bypass that law WITHOUT PUBLIC HEARINGS.

Nope. DTE, show your work.

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.

OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.

A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

Big Tech is plotting a $100M lobbying and campaign spending blitz to block AI regulation at the state and federal level.

We must stop this takeover before it's too late.

Matt Feazell is a mini comics staple in Metro Detroit since 1980 (possibly longer), specifically hailing from good ol' Hamtramck, Michigan.
