Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

This is amazing

A young Famous Players employee standing in front of the hand drawn black and white picture of Spiderman he drew. It is very meme-y with a misshapen head and has the words "sorry we never received the real poster. Sorry for the inconvenience"

Facebook post from Adam Woodrow in a group called Everything Prince George: My son Rogan and I stopped to appreciate this hand drawn movie poster at the theatre today and thought it was awesome. Then we got a chance to meet the artist, Drake. So my son decided to take a picture of the artist with his art work and we thought we should share it for everyone to check out. Keep it up Drake!

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Next week there will be another existential boogeyman designed to discourage you from pursuing art. There will always be a mosquito in your ear trying to convince you your creativity has no value. Let this Sora situation be a lesson. Stop getting pushed around by scammers. Make art

Such a good article in Maisonneuve on how Canada Post is being dismantled, management is rolling out tech to try to emulate Amazon, and what Canadians collectively lose if they’re successful in gutting this public institution.

wtf does this even do? They are paying them to steal their IPs? No one is gonna want to pay to see this shit, it will be literally everywhere and probably gross and vulgar. If it’s even “successful” it only devalues Disney’s worth, they give up legal control and quality control.

we also commissioned @apricotjoy.bsky.social to make illustrations of a bunch of native plants in our community garden, I helped put together these labels with the word for each plant in the two most commonly spoken Indigenous languages in this area, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh sníchim and hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓

Illustrated labels of 8 different native plants, with their names written in multiple languages including Sḵwx̱wú7mesh sníchim, hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓, Latin, and English. Illustrations by April dela Noche Milne
