Sure, re unpacking / unbundling the issue -
There's generation ("video generation tools);
There's distribution and sharing ("social features");
There's deepfakes v non deepfakes;
And we might evaluate, among other factors, support for content provenance ("traceable")

Even if we just focus on deepfakes - might be interested in this testimony from the Motion Picture Association on why regulation here must be narrowly tailored, to avoid hurting positive uses: www.motionpictures.org/wp-content/u...

Think it's worth unpacking what was clear in 05 and to whom. It was not self evident and was actively contested and fought by many.

Then, why can't many of the same positive video uses from UGC be applied to gen AI? (Including the myriad gen AI video that is *not* a deepfakes)

More generally - isn't this a little like saying in 2005, "I can't imagine the value of user generated and uploaded videos could be, relative to cost." Many would have added, "it's just piracy" or "it's just dogs on skateboards." I think those ppl were wrong, but ymmv

There’s still 2 more days to check out Runway’s AI Film Festival in IMAX, and if you’re at all interested in this space, would recommend checking it out: www.imax.com/movie/runway...

This felt like a normal experimental film festival, and I mean that in a good way. 1/

I have never in my life covered an FCC official that gives less of a fuck about the public interest

even first term FCC boss Ajit Pai, who was a complete revolving door hack, believed this sort of censorship crossed a line

FABER: I wonder whether you're just targeting comedians who are offending the president

BRENDAN CARR: Broadcast TV is different. If you have broadcast TV license, it comes with an obligation to serve the public interest.

Losing my ever-loving-mind watching the same people who were just clutching their pearls claiming censorship over mean emails from WH staffers to Twitter about COVID misinfo are now HAVING THE FCC CHAIR openly threaten broadcast licenses over a joke about the president AND THE BROADCASTERS CENSOR IT

And the Ellisons are also first in line to buy TikTok if it gets sold, which would fuse CBS, CNN, Time Warner, Paramount, and TikTok all into one company whose entire function would be to blow smoke up the right wing's ass

In the crush of days' news, this -- and red-flashing-light alarm over it -- has been lost. Listen up: The Ellisons, the miniMurdochs, want to turn CNN into FoxNews Jr. alongside their terminally tained (C)BS (the B stands for Bari). Let's hear some shocked shouting, people!

This is terrible! It would put CNN in the hands of the miniMurdochs, the Ellisons, and likely awful Bari Weiss. If anyone could still spell antitrust, it should be blocked, but it won't be. Mass media are dead! They're picking at the carcasses

Meanwhile, here is a new publisher proposal

Imo, ppl have barely started talking about it and wrestling with it, and IETF draft is still in flux, tho at "last call" phase. Publishers are making a concerted effort to turn this into DRM for the Web, though the previous "AI use" (inference) has been parked. See also: github.com/ietf-wg-aipr...

There have been a few other cases mentioned on Kluwer, I think

Yes, the relevant AI Act provisions covers GPAIs, but separate question is how TDM exception applies scraping and provision of datasets see legalblogs.wolterskluwer.com/copyright-bl... + implications of IETF standards datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/dra... - hence, confusion
