‘WILDWOOD’ director Travis Knight says Laika will NEVER use AI in its films: “AI is theft. It’s the ingestion of years and years and years of human creativity and ingenuity, regurgitated back. It has no humanity. It has no spirit.” (Via: theplaylist.net/wildwood-tra…)

Every generative AI model is built on theft and should be destroyed.
The owners of Elvis Presley’s music are suing Anthropic for allegedly using over 250 of his songs to train AI model Claude without permission. (billboard.com/pro/elvis-pres…)

The fight against data centers in the US is working. Over $260,000,000,000 worth of data center projects have been cancelled in the US, largely due to pushback from local governments.

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

you can literally see the moments where scarlett johansson's face peeks through because it used her role in the actual "girl with a pearl earring" film as a guide. ai cannot create. it can only copy.
Opus 5.5 imagined the moment Girl with a Pearl Earring was painted

NAOMI KLIEIN to SAM ALTMAN: "...you ingested the entire written output of human civilization without consent, without compensation and without credit to build a system whose primary commercial application is eliminating the jobs of the people whose work you consumed. You are not 'liberating human creativity' -- you are strip-mining it and selling it back at a markup while calling the theft 'training data'."

Why do sociopathic tech bros see human experiences like art and music as things that need to be solved? Go build apps that aide medical industries or solve real world problems like poverty, homelessness, or hunger. Stop trying to commodify every aspect of being human.
I am not joking when I say this. Spotify, Apple Music, and streaming in general is over. AI music is now very, very good. You just don't know yet because all AI music circulating today is from ~2-3 generations ago. Suno v6 pro et al has solved infinite personalized music.
