Just helping with editing here. These bots aren’t sentient. They’re doing what they’re programmed to do. OpenAI, a private company supposedly bound by laws, committed federal crimes.
The trailer for my new film, "Musk," has just been released.
Filmmaker Alex Gibney has shared the first trailer for 'Musk,' a two-part, four-hour deep dive into Elon Musk that Rolling Stone called “a nonfiction horror movie” following its film festival debut earlier this month. Watch ↓

¡ATENCIÓN! El Gobierno de España vuelve a la carga para legitimar el uso de IA generativa en los rubros creativos ⚠️ Ahora resulta que Prometeo es el «democratizador» del fuego con el que justifican el uso de IAG 🤦 Plazo para enviar aportaciones contra la IA generativa: hasta el 8 de octubre ✊🔥

Its amazing how AI bros were constantly going on about how AI isnt theft and all that and now here THE PEOPLE WHO MADE IT THEMSELVES WENT "yeah we fuckin stole ALLL that shit, lmao!"
“An astonishing theft of unprecedented proportions” and the “largest theft of labor in human history” is what a Microsoft executive privately said about GenAi as shown in newly unsealed court filings. And these court filings get worse. These execs knew all along the immense theft they committed.
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

‘Doom Loop’: OpenAI and Microsoft Admits LLMs Are Destroying the Web and Built on Theft
"Millions of people around the world will soon consider large models ‘hoovering up’ all their work to be an astonishing theft of unprecedented proportions."

On Ocarina of Time redesign: It’s not Roccoco. It’s just over designed and can be easily fixed with more areas of rest! Lean in on the foundational elements and principles of design as they are a fantastic guiding light on achieving good design. That’s all from me 💖
Big tech paused CA’s GenAi transparency bill AB412 behind closed doors. However, over 3.8 million creative workers have come together to demand transparency! This coalition isn’t going anywhere! Its sponsors, CAA, SAG AFTRA, NAVA Voices & The Author’s Guild have next steps! Here’s what to do👇
Just pre-ordered this: Part biography part manifesto, Timnit shares with us her journey as a refugee, her firing from Google for doing her job as a lead ethics researcher, her hopes for a more ethical tech and how we can all make a difference in how we shape future. Don’t miss it, pre-order asap!
🔇 🔇 🔇 My book, Deep Unlearning, is now available for preorders! I don't know how people write so many books because this one took a lot out of me. It turns out, I had a lot to say 😂, with editors cutting out 50k of my words 🫣 ✴️ You can now preorder it at www.simonandschuster.com/books/Deep-U....
Finished a Big Walk with 7 of my friends and holy shit what an AMAZING game experience!!! 10/10 one of the best multiplayer games I’ve played in a long LONG time!
we should charge the C-suite with fraud and theft if they take a tax credit meant to keep people employed and then cut staff anyway.
Pixar receives a $26.2 Million Tax credit to keep film jobs in CA, and immediately lays off 10% of its work force, after making over a billion from Toy Story 5, the highest-grossing film of 2026.
Layoffs hit Double Fine today, and I'm sorry to report that I was one of the ones hit. If you need a game designer with tech chops and 2+ decades of experience, here I am.
We're joining a coalition of 30+ organizations urging the Ninth Circuit to uphold California's AI Training Data Transparency Law. We’re doing this because the public should know what goes into the AI products they use every day. #AITransparency #xAIvBonta Learn more here: lasst.org/blog/
Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:
Hey #sanfrancisco and friends who use tik tok. If you see a video of a couple (man with dark curly hair, and woman with black short hair, tall, white) in San Francisco, crossing Chez Maman in Hayes Valley, they just pepper sprayed the entire restaurant, my mom, me and our foster dog. If you see
I think it's fine for games not to really have economies
Tim Sweeney says only hope for new games is to 'connect to economies of other games'
Epic’s law team when they remember there are over 110 lawsuits against GenAi models in the US—lawsuits for copyright infringement amongst other violations— and the Unreal team is out there advertising LLMs as a central feature to one of their biggest products.
'The road to Unreal Engine 6' - www.unrealengine.com/news/the-roa... "for UE6, we see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need."
Epic releases Fortnite video that's trying to launder the company's use of AI in the art pipeline, but artists I spoke to simply aren't having it: aftermath.site/epic-fortnite-...
So sick and tired of San Francisco consistently blocking off tax paying public spaces for bs ai companies. Yerba Buena park closed yet again. San Franciscans cant even enjoy the little nature we have downtown without it consistently having it be closed off by tech companies 😭 @sfgov.sf.gov
The only way for this AI "competitor" to function is by taking a bunch of work off the internet without consent. A bill in California would force transparency in their dataset. Want to help it pass? Please sign this petition in support, it'll take you 2 minutes: tinyurl.com/4uxbp963 1/
My heart is still utterly broken, but I’m so glad to have had you in my life for so long. Goodbye my sweet Bady cat.
