I hated seeing the AI starter packs everyone has been posting lately, the way they all look so uncanny and boring in their prettified sameness, and love to see illustrators taking over with starter packs that are as unique as their creators, their love for details and sense of humour.

I swear if this DeepSeek thing turns into “this is why we need more of ppl’s work and data for FREE so we can compete with CHINA” BS, instead of what it needs to be, a reveal of how pointless and inept the tech and its peddlers are and have always been, i’m gonna be so pissed.

Recent unsealed internal messages from Facebook expose FB 100% knew they trained their GenAi on stolen works. It also shows how concerned FB is that lawmakers listen to rightholders (creatives, academics, etc) of the works they stole. Never stop calling GenAi what it is: Theft!

Facebook walks through its risk mitigation in detail in this evidence previously marked, "attorneys eyes only." I'm super interested in this note which reads as if they established a threshold on memorization rate which Zuckerberg and leadership decided was acceptable risk. /4
