1/4 Well look at that. Open Ai and Google outright reject “Opt-Out” models, hell they even reject basic transparency requirements.

AI companies demand they get everything, including our Intellectual Property, for free, and without anyone ever being able to tell the companies no.
AI giants reject government’s approach to solving copyright row
OpenAI and Google have objected to Labour’s proposed opt-out model and pushed for broader exemptions to let AI software use copyrighted material free

esp with regard to THAT ONE PICTURE there's something insane abt real human beings putting years of hard work into creating art that's complex & humanistic only to have that fed into a machine & used for fascist propaganda

One day (and a 1/2) until the weekend and then I can finally stare longingly into the abyss again, as is my human right.

Pinterest, an app where most of the content is unauthorized reposts of other people’s copyright protected work, is developing generative AI and they think offering a hidden OPT-OUT toggle is good enough?

Hi everyone, happy #KidLitArtPostcard day!

I’m an illustrator mostly working in editorial and children’s publishing and I love drawing weird characters and nature. I would love to do more fiction books!
