“Today’s feature to recognize your friend at your front door can easily be repurposed tomorrow for mass surveillance,” EFF’s @mariotrujillo.bsky.social told Cyberguy. “It is important for state regulators to investigate.” cyberguy.com/ai/amazon-a...
Amazon adds controversial AI facial recognition to Ring - CyberGuy
Amazon Ring now recognizes familiar faces at your door. Smarter alerts sound helpful but critics warn this AI feature crosses a line.

“How can you suddenly dislike art when you find out it’s made by AI?”

For the same reason I can dislike art when I find out the employees were overworked and underpaid.

Because I care about people.

You dipshit.

Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

Wow! TIL about Anne Dudley. Not only was she in Art Of Noise, she collaborated with a number of outstanding musicians including Jaz Coleman and The Associates, and did the music for dozens of films and TV shows including Jeeves and Wooster and The Crying Game!

love that software developers are advertising AI functionality in every single app now and it's up to you to try to figure out if they mean "this has spellcheck" or "everything you create in this app will sync in real-time to sam altman's personal laptop" or something in between

It bothers me that most of the bands I know are resigned to being merchandise businesses. That young bands in my city have a stall of tchochkes but no CDs. It's easy to say musicians need adapt and find new ways to get by, but. No. Fuck it. We should be able to earn our keep from our music.

Zero tolerance is the ONLY and FITTING response to genAI being used in production of media.

Sure, you might think it's too harsh. Sure, they might've only used it for early stuff in development, etc

Listen, it's not even a SLIPPERY slope, there is NO friction at all unless we speak out against it.

If you’re not willing to engage in a Butlerian Jihad against the Plagiarism Machine, you’ve never actually made anything that mattered
periodically I'll see a backlash that goes a little too far or seems kinda unfair. i never say anything because i think we need to be kinda unhinged and zealous in our response to this shit. I'd take an honest-to-God crusade against this stuff over letting it proliferate.
We can do even more.

Should you refuse to show compassion because you believe it would make you appear weak, then you have misunderstood what strength is. It is honorable to have concern for others, to show empathy and to offer aid to someone in distress. To rebuke this is cowardice, not strength.
