Instagram plans to use your information and data to feed its Meta AI (Meta is Facebook, IG, etc). This includes any image, text, or video, and it is opt-in by default. For artists and other content creators, I made a guide thread for us on how to set your account to opt out

I think this needs to be seen by all artists on twitter. Head of the FTC: ”if somebody’s content or information is being scraped that they have produced . . . then is being used in ways to compete with them . . . that could be an unfair method of competition.”

1/4 People scoff at the art community coming together to hire just 1 lobbyist. The sad fact is that it is an EXTREMELY effective tactic, as it’s one of the few ways to put your influence lawmakers. We gotta fight back everywhere. If able please donate: Protecthumancreators.com

I've donated to The Concept Art Association again, because I believe in this cause and because I want to protect human creation. gofund.me/940cc170

Very sad to have to say this - an AI company called EleutherAI stole tens of thousands of YouTube videos - including many of mine. I’m one of the creators Proof News spoke to. The stolen data was sold to Apple, Nvidia, and other companies to build AI

They are pushing this tech because THEY DON’T WANT TO PAY people for their labor. You think they’d want to pay us for existing? No, they want to hoard wealth and power while offloading the problems to increasingly struggling govs and social security programs around the world.

Totally. The more you practice, the less fear you'll have and the quicker you'll bounce back from mistakes or false starts.

Psst Artists. Canva just picked up Leonardio.gAI that is trained on your work. They also own Affinity. Don't use either.

My brother in arms neil turkewitz in Art news today with the best quote I’ve seen about copyright. It’s not public data. It’s publicly available because we have copyright.

The Dutch copyright organization Brein has taken a large Dutch dataset intended for AI training offline, reasons: copyright infringement!! A small win globally, but huge when it comes to respecting copyright and showing them taking AI training infringement seriously over here.
