Training on AI output should clearly be legal, just as training on published books or public social networks content is. Fair use and socially beneficial goes both ways

Thanks for reporting it, but I felt their view it was an "attack" was stated as a fact, when it can also be seen as very similar as their own crawling and scraping methods, just on different content

AI companies scraped the whole internet, and even made some websites too expensive to run because of this. They use Google search to improve their prompts input.
We should challenge the view that their tools’ output can’t be used by anyone to train models, as it is logical that we should

@rebeccabellan.bsky.social hi! I’m a bit surprised that you took the framing of companies using Anthropic AI generation to train their models as attacks without challenging it. Anthropic trained on downloaded and scanned books, copyrighted materials, when AI answers bear no copyright at all.

Invent machines for imagining. Sway between control and the unexpected. SLOP Gala lets you create an outfit no one has seen before you. There's millions of fits to craft. Some might be ridiculous. Others, brilliant. And you decide which is which! try it: slopgala.com

Allez, je l'affirme, j'ai créé la meilleure IA avant-garde de mode πŸ˜… Et elle est super simple Γ  utiliser : on choisis des inspis qu'on aime, on les mixe, et on compose une tenue jamais vue, par personne avant nous !

I think I created the best avant garde fashion AI, and it’s super easy to use: pick inspos you like, mix them, and craft an outfit that nobody has ever seen!

Limitation: the system disk isn’t saved between sessions. Use screenshots + timelapse videos to keep an archive of your work.

Thanks @persistent.info for the emulator and embed API πŸ™ Infinite Mac infinitemac.org has been an incredible resource! I’m excited to use it more in workshops and lectures

- Save clean screenshots of the Macintosh display. Save in MacPaint and name your drawing, the screenshots use that name (in-browser OCR).
- Save a timelapse of your drawing as a super-light MP4 (in-browser ffmpeg). Easiest MacPaint timelapse I know (I used it to make the video in this post.)

Macintosh emulated display captured at real size on a MacBook screen

Macintosh emulated display captured at real size on a MacBook screen

- Real-size display option to match the 9” Macintosh CRT screen. Uses a custom list to guess your physical display size, with calibration for purists. Great to feel the constraints Bill Atkinson, Jeff Raskin, and Susan Kare faced when designing the UI.

It uses the insanely great Infinite Mac as the embedded emulatorβ€”and adds useful tools around it:
- One-click shortcut to open MacPaint
- Crisp fullscreen by default, perfect for the original 1-bit UI.

It’s also pure fun: draw in a retro way and explore the creative constraints of 1-bit illustrations.

MacPaint is a key step in the history of UX (and visual design!)

I built a super simple way to use MacPaint 1.0 in workshops and lectures. Try it: juliendorra.com/macintosh/

in Accelerando (2005) by @cstross.bsky.social at the start the main character is using smart glasses and have the same disconnect with people. He's an early adopter, tech obsessed. It costs him something. Very relevant book.

I wanted to see if this video model would keep the grain, blooming and specific color quality of old sensors. And it did. What is the benefit? It allows to define the style not textually but visually, which is faster and better for people who have already mastered photo and video.

By the way, the images are all generated using Flux Schnell, a very fast <2s, and quite small open weight image gen model, that can give you great results if prompted right. In this case the prompts are themselves generated and decided by the text model based on a mix of traits.
