New awareness campaign
A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

Busy yesterday so I missed that Anthropic had settled. Figures. LLMs have violated thousands of copyrights; they *knew* it would kill them if it went to trial. Anyway, the Authors Guild has some useful info here: authorsguild.org/news/what-au...
What Authors Need to Know About the $1.5 Billion Anthropic Settlement  - The Authors Guild
Today, Anthropic agreed to pay $1.5 billion to settle claims that it downloaded pirated books to train its AI systems—the largest U.S. copyright settlement in history. The parties in Bartz v Anthropic...

So excited to pick up the wonderful "Picnic with the Draculas" from @scottlava.bsky.social to go with my Allan Grant "Lunch Break" today at #SDCC2025!
Colorful artwork depicting 8 different Draculas from movies and TV, all having a picnic lunch together in the countryside. Two smaller figures in the background are playing croquet. A black-and-white photograph by Allan Grant of actors Basil Rathbone, Boris Karloff, Vincent Price, and Bella Lugosi each sitting in a separate casket. Price is leaning over and smiling, Karloff is eating a sandwich, Price is reading Variety, and Lugosi is behind and looking over the first three.

It's also the day for my favorite meme!

If this aging Klingon warrior can get it right, so can anyone.
Jadzia Dax and Kor hugging: "Curzon, my beloved old friend." "I'm Jadzia now." "Jadzia, my beloved old friend!"

kandice_martellaro_ 9h If you're planning to watch that HBO Harry Potter series, I really hope you understand two things: 1.) She pushed this reboot is because the original cast have publicly supported the transgender community and she wants a "do-over" that doesn't involve them. 2.) Putting money into her pocket WILL directly harm transgender folks and specifically transgender kids. She uses her wealth to block bills that would protect trans youth. It's different than just hate speech (which is bad enough.)

Did you know that the law regulating how the federal government collects and uses our personal data is 51 years old?
 
On today's Digital Download, I talked about how @housedemocrats.bsky.social are fighting back against Elon Musk accessing Americans' most sensitive personal data.

I’m seeing a lot of confusion about the Equal Rights Amendment online.

I've been working on the ERA for 13 years & literally wrote a book about it.

So, let me help answer some questions.

1) Yes, it really is a real amendment & fully part of the U.S. Constitution. Full stop.
