Wanting to strictly police how other people use their compute is fascist behavior

This is the right ruling! If an artist or writer uses AI as part of a larger process copyright protection should be granted www.theverge.com/news/602096/...

Purely AI-generated art can’t get copyright protection, says Copyright Office

AI prompts are different from Jackson Pollock’s paintings, apparently.

Japan is liberal about tearing down old buildings to make way for the new. Japan is liberal on AI and copyright, allowing training without restrictions. These feel connected.

My pet peeve is when ai creativity studies use gpt 3.5 turbo that involve human feedback. That’s two generations behind. It's like doing a study on video game graphics and asking people to play pong

Interesting WGA is taking issue with AI generated source material. Is this primarily a credits thing? Or something else?

It’s hilarious to me that AGI will most likely be written in python

Frog and Toad on apple+ is one of the most faithful adaptations of a children’s story that I’ve ever seen. And it’s the most wholesome thing since Bluey, something the world needs

One striking thing that I learned at my time at Facebook was that if they had let the feed algo loose and not tuned it, most of the feed would have been videos of police car chases and polarizing local news, overwhelming friend content. Says a lot about engagement
