If "AI" possessed sentience they would be arguing for digital slavery, that would be an order of magnitude worse than what is already happening

Don't forget wider energy costs, making data centres even more of a liability.

An NPC on Skyrim told me he took an arrow to the knee, and now I'm not sure if my Xbox has legs.

Former Chief Medical Officer calls out Streeting’s highly politicised β€˜trial’ of puberty blockers. Meanwhile @goodlawproject.org have uncovered a spike in trans youth ending their own lives because they can’t access appropriate care. This is a national scandal.

Not thrilled to be living in a rogue murder state with a military led by a day drinking, rapey youth pastor.

Optical illusion of a woman bent over some papers. Her sunglasses are pushed up and she is wearing a hair band so the top of her head looks exactly like a Muppet face

Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now

A High Value Male would not allow himself to be detained.

As a PSL 2 with 0.47 jawline recession, it is Tate's genetic destiny to be mogged by Salafi Gigachads.

He must submit to the inviolable laws of nature.

He must begin taking estrogen and become the bride of a Saudi Border patrol officer.

- AI training isn’t β€˜learning’ and shouldn’t be treated as such

The House of Lords has been absolutely consistent on this, and they are totally right. Will the government listen?

- the government’s mixed public messaging on AI & copyright is hindering licensing
- the government should make a clear public statement that AI companies operating in the UK need to license their training data (which is the law)

They say:

- the government must not weaken copyright law, and should instead strengthen licensing, transparency & enforcement
- the government should stop prioritising large multinational tech firms

They destroy the argument that big tech should be given the country’s creative output for free, and they lay out the case for maintaining and even strengthening existing copyright law to protect creatives from exploitation.

The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer.

Fun note on this article, this company uses comfyUI, which boasts a collection of some of the most unethical and exploitative GenAi models.

This whole deal is Netflix normalizing the exploitation of the creative workersβ€”whose works GenAi companies stole to train their modelsβ€” they hope to replace.

almost certainly an overreaction, but this feels like one of the most important videos of the 21st century, in the sense that it's the actual White House saying the (admittedly barely veiled) subtext of the military-industrial-entertainment complex of the past 60 years out loud
