This is not how copyright works. Literally, the opposite. Also, this is legally stupid because it shows they can remove the work. Ergo, they have no defense for including it in the first place.
Exclusive: OpenAI is planning to release a new version of its Sora video generator, which creates videos featuring copyrighted material unless copyright holders opt out of having their work appear.

AI guzzled millions of books without permission. Authors are fighting back.

Now to get folks off the habit of summoning ChatGPT et al. to write and into a bit of flow and onto that "zig-zag path" of writing.
"A truly successful creative process is wandering, exploratory, and iterative."
Flow Alone Won’t Make You a Writer
Writing starts with flow, but it’s sustained by discipline, revision, and grit.

Another month, another mega-conference. I've only barely recovered from #ICA25 and now #IAMCR2025 is upon us. At least I don't have to deal with jet-lag this time!

Hello #ICA25! This morning I'm on a high density panel "Making Sense of AI Across the Media Industries" at Aspen Ballroom, Grand Hyatt. I'm sharing thoughts on the impact of AI on creative labour from a small-nation (Singapore!) perspective. Come by and say hi!
