You would not like me to tell you some of the shit pulled by publishers where I worked. Done by individuals who were perfectly reasonable if you had a chat while making tea, but who did what was best for the company because their job was to maximise profits.

There’s still ways to go, but it’s potentially being proved in court that this is, indeed copyright infringement!

So don’t let anyone make you think that you’re not in the right to fight for your rights and your livelihoods! Good progress is made every day, and together we’ll make things right!

"I just don't understand how that can be fair use."

🇪🇺🚨Facebook/Instagram is restarting training AI on your data🚨🇪🇺

They offer Opt-out, but OPT-OUT doesn't work conceptually!
People re-upload other people's work and photos on social media ALL THE TIME.

Let's do something about it.
👇 CALL TO ACTION 👇
Meta is training AI on your data. Users say opting out doesn’t work.
Meta promised users that they can opt out of giving access to their social media content for AI training. Some are saying that the exit tool doesn't work.

Way too many people hear “language model” and think the algorithm understands language. It does not. It reduces letters to numbers and looks for patterns in the numbers. That’s all it does. That’s all it can do. It does not derive meaning; it does not extrapolate consequences.
“THE ALGORITHM IS NOT AND NEVER WILL BE CAPABLE OF DISCERNMENT.”

Never. AI is a misnomer. It’s not intelligent. It’s a calculator. If you’re like “calculators can’t do language, silly,” that’s the entire goddamn point.
As a culture, we don’t teach nearly enough media literacy and critical interrogation of sources, but if there aren’t sources, it’s not possible to interrogate them, and with LLMs, sometimes, even if a source is cited, it’s unreliable. The algorithm is not and never will be capable of discernment.

Oh hey look, Meta has stolen close to everything I've written in order to feed the planet-burning plagiarism machine. Still, I dare say Zuckerberg needs the money.
