Open AI doesn't want to be transparent about what's in their datasets - this bill would force them. If you're pro AI regulation (esp if you're in Bay Area), please show up and offer your support for this bill! If you can't make it, help spread the word!

They are trying to undercut all creatives. Have us lose our jobs, then charge for their services.
It’s a really common tactic for large business to take over a market.

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

#AB412 received overwhelming support. Because 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! We need EVERYONE there #CreateDontScrape #SupportHumanArtists

This is a nuts story. An AI chatbot and image platform left millions of images exposed. They show what people are actually using the AI for: taking random women's yearbook, graduation, and social media photos and making super realistic hardcore porn with them

This is legitimately scary. They are trying to push facial personality AI analysis, and who they hire for workplaces. AI companies are falsely claiming that they can tell someone’s personality just by a photo of them.

1/2) I used AI to test if Glaze & NightShade would help with i2i. (Glaze + NS are not for i2i, they are to disrupt AI training on your art)
Share w/ Artists
Here are my findings:
1 - Glaze does help a bit, my character Lili came out looking pretty bad, not passible as human art.
