Please @albomp.bsky.social do not sell out Australia’s music, text, audio, video, arts, media creators to AI platforms to “train” their data centres in local content. Make this NON-NEGOTIABLE in fast tracking the AI revolution here. Yes we want this investment … but only with fair compensation.

Artists deserve to have their intellectual property protected. Labor has been pandering to big tech giants, and now they’re trying to blackmail the Government into selling out creatives. We need a moratorium on new data centres and clear protections for artists, communities and nature.

OpenAI won't even consider renewable investments in Australia until the country agrees to kill its copyright laws so they can freely train on creative work. When Albanese caves and agrees to this, OpenAI will just run on fossil fuels anyway: guaranteed. archive.ph/mzSVj
