Actor Natasha Lyonne may not come from the tech world, but her production company is emerging as a trailblazer in bringing AI content to the big screen—and she has thoughts about the tech’s increasing influence.
Natasha Lyonne says AI has an ethics problem because right now it's 'super kosher copacetic to rob freely under the auspices of acceleration' | Fortune
Lyonne’s production company developed a tool for generating big screen-ready AI content.

Kinda perfect that no one notices the irony of Time magazine honoring, "The Architects of A.I." by stealing someone else's actual art & design.
▶️There are two covers this year - one a piece of art depicting the letters AI surrounded by workers, and another a painting focused on the tech leaders themselves. ▶️Big tech firms are pouring billions of dollars into AI and the infrastructure behind it in a bid to stay ahead of rivals.
'Architects of AI' named Time Magazine's Person of the Year
Nvidia boss Jensen Huang is among the influential tech figures that adorn one of the two covers.

Larry Ellison, the world’s 2nd-richest man, predicts an AI surveillance state where “we’re constantly recording & reporting everything.” Are we headed toward a future where every call, text, email & search is tracked by billionaires? That's not democracy. It's authoritarianism.
Thrilled to be there with you all! The energy was real and very palpable. 🙏

DrDinD.bsky.social@drdind.bsky.social · 8mo ago🧵A joint hearing by the Judiciary Committee of the CA Senate & Consumer/privacy protection of the Assembly was held today at Stanford to balance concerns of creative artists with the economic engineering of AI. The room overflowed. Real issue? This President & Congress won't regulate AI.
A good hearing. I hope today pace of response matches the pace of AI development
The bigger issue is that the Dumpster wants to keep states from regulating AI. And that would leave it to him.
OpenAI counsel Mark Gray emphasized cooperation between studios and his firm, but Jason George contrasted the difference between creatives and companies and suggested OpenAI reach out to unions.
Animation Guild president and storyboard artist Danny Lin said she believes she has lost work to AI and knows of studios cutting back on human talent. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...
