Open AI doesn't want to be transparent about what's in their AI training datasets - this bill would force them. If that sounds good, we REALLY NEED YOUR HELP! Please sign this petition in support of the bill, it'll take you 2 minutes: tinyurl.com/4uxbp963 1/
So true. And it's not only for your health : personal work is where you develop new ideas and explore visuals, style and moods, and those are the heart of an interesting and fresh portfolio
Matheus Graef@omiosures.bsky.social · 3mo agopersonal work is oxygen to the artist. it's non negotiable. like exercising or going on walks a few times a week is a basic necessity to humans. if you forgo the bare minimum for too long, you will crash & burn so pick up the pencil today, now even, and draw something just for you.
Monday I'll be revealing a project I have been working on for a long time. It is something I have done all by myself and I'm really proud of it, I can't wait to show it
Chrome is reaching into users' machines and writing a 4 GB on-device AI model file to disk without asking. It is the weights for Gemini Nano, Google's on-device LLM. Chrome did not ask. Chrome does not surface it. If the user deletes it, Chrome re-downloads it. www.thatprivacyguy.com/blog/chrome-...
Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent. At a billion-device scale the climate costs are insane. — That Privacy Guy!

Spiders (the game developers) shutting down is such sad news. As a studio, they're pretty much a peak example of what the backbone of a healthy industry should look like. Mid-budget, not afraid to take big creative swings, doesn't always hit the mark but always trying. That SHOULD be sustainable.

The Glaze Project's team, hallowed be their name, strikes again
The Glaze Project (UChicago SAND Lab)@theglazeproject.bsky.social · 4mo agoUpdate #2: Quicksilver, a detector for AI-generated music. Most folks today are not aware that AI-generated music (entire songs generated by AI models) are growing rapidly. Today, there are more AI-generated songs than human-created songs arriving each week on platforms like Spotify.
Hello! I'm looking for a queer horror artist for an anthology short (6-8 pgs)! This is paid work and the rate will go up based on crowdfunding. New creators welcome! Please DM ME with your PORTFOLIO. Final pages will be due in two months. I'll contact my choice in the next two weeks. Thanks!
Sad and infuriating news. Nothing to add to what's already in comments really, it's heartbreaking stupidity. I'm confident a good amount of the pro-free-market dudebros, cheering for capitalism all day online, are also huge fans of marvel stuff, and NOT connecting the two little dots at all.
Karla Ortiz@kortizart.bsky.social · 4mo agoDevastated to hear the entire Marvel Studios’s Visual Development team has been let go. This was my old home but more importantly, the home of so many incredible artists and peers. Absolutely heartbreaking 😔 Sending all my impacted peers my love and support. Please reach out if you need anything!

Murphy Campbell facing blatant AI copyright theft. youtube.com/@murphydoesn... Not easy to fight the machine learning companies depending on size. It's NOT intelligence, it's inference, and they shouldn't be allowed to loot real people's ideas.

I'd like to dedicate this post to everyone who said there was no point in fighting this. And to point out most of the value in AI companies is derived from their past scraping and in a just world, we'd be looking at billions in compensation.
Ed Newton-Rex@ednewtonrex.bsky.social · 5mo agoFantastic news in the UK today - the government has apparently ditched its plan to force creatives to 'opt out' if they don't want AI companies training on their life's work. www.thetimes.com/uk/technolog... 🧵 1/4

They steal your work, they dumb you down, they make your electricity more expensive, they take your water and your livelihood. But at least you’ll get opportunity of a lifetime: information that according to one BBC study is likely to be wrong 51% of the time! Incredible“progress” 💀
