Latest essay: Artists are worried about having their work exploited by AI, but the idea that training the model on scraped work in the first place is a copyright violation is bunk, and here's why.
Why training AI can't be IP theft / GioCities
you can't reserve the right to learn

I am once again BEGGING creatives to read Gio's essays on AI and copyright, especially this one. The whole thing. Yes it's long, but I'm begging y'all to let the issue be complicated instead of just posting short, quippy, and wrong takes about AI

![R. H. Bing (October 20, 1914 – April 28, 1986)[1] was an American mathematician who worked mainly in the areas of geometric topology and continuum theory.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreid62wy3dekb2kzbisjfdlimlb35j4rlgew5iof7vi32byfszmg26a@jpeg)
![Bing's father was named Rupert Henry, but Bing's mother thought that "Rupert Henry" was too British for Texas. Thus she compromised by abbreviating it to R. H.[5] Consequently, R. H. does not stand for a first or middle name.
When Bing was applying for a visa, he was requested not to use initials. He explained that his name was really "R-only H-only Bing", and ended up receiving a visa made out to "Ronly Honly Bing".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreigmfj53q4uy33spga2bxdkllqm3ag5sffovg5g7ddmu3vqzkb6k24@jpeg)

Reminder that these processors have not yet backed down AT ALL on mass / arbitrary censorship of legal art / expression / transactions
Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

Problem: Under capitalism, some workers' livelihoods depend on profiting from their creative output.
Correct response: Therefore, we need to ensure people don't need to work to get their basic needs met.
Incorrect response: Therefore, we need to pressure the state to enforce a dystopian IP regime.

supporting creators is good and essential (my career depends on it), but i dont think treating it as on par with stealing is productive or good for any actual moral convo here.

People who pirate books: “I just think art and literature should be FREE to everyone!”
Yes, I too would love to live in a world where art is accessible freely to all and yet artists are paid a living wage, but as this magical wagical pixie wixie land does not exist, please don’t steal from us.

I promise you, the gaping maw of loneliness & a lack of purpose borne of the mismatch between the self you truly are & the one-size-fits-all mold of patriarchal masculinity will NOT be filled by subjecting a woman to pregnancy, childbirth, and unequal divisions of labor just so you can be a father.

Hilariously (in the lolsob sort of way), Australia has concluded their social media ban law cannot actually be used to ban underage Australians from Roblox because it's not a social media site
Me: Australia's social media ban for under 16s is a deeply terrible idea and is going to make a lot of problems much worse
Also me: we should ban Roblox for all ages
Also me: we should ban Roblox for all ages
Oh, God, this is one of those "where do I even start" things, because Roblox is, like, *fractally* fucked. They are terrible at content moderation. A lot of the games are rated incorrectly, so kids can encounter graphic content (sex or violence) out of nowhere --

Some vaccines like COVID and flu don’t stop completely stop infection.
But they do reduce the risk of getting infected and greatly reduce severe illness risk.
They are still worth getting.
Since they are not 100% effective it’s also wise to add another layer of protection by wearing a mask.

I dislike the term “AI” too, but it’s well rooted at this point. We’re more likely to change assumptions about AI than to replace the term.
And the dichotomy between “machine learning” and “LLMs” being proposed as a substitute would actually be worse; it doesn’t identify a real difference. +
