It’s good to see generative AI companies moving towards licensing the training data they use. But it’s important that they license all their data, not just content from the big players who are most likely to sue them if they don’t.

Unexpected and depressing side effect of what’s going on in generative AI: listening to my favorite (human) songs is genuinely getting me down, because it’s a reminder that people are stealing these songs to build AI models that will make it harder for artists to support…
The amazing thing about that AI Board post was that for a few hours, everyone on my feed forgot they were supposed to be fighting. Safety, acc, anti-AI artists, open-source - all in near unison turned to look at this new thing that had appeared, and in one voice, condemned it.
There’s No Way To License This Training Data, Say Companies That Haven’t Tried To License Training Data
"Indeed, if the moment were not so sobering, it would be laughable to everyone involved that the very companies behind driverless cars and private rocket ships would find the prospect of digital licensing too daunting to imagine." Spot on. thehill.com/opinion/462433…

Why does the new Artificial Intelligence Safety and Security Board have so many members with clear vested interests in rapid, unregulated AI adoption, and so few who have AI expertise without those vested interests?

When you disallow AI crawlers on @squarespace, they only block 5 crawlers. Compare this to the NYT site, which blocks 25. Squarespace blocks OpenAI, Google, Anthropic and Common Crawl. But it doesn't block: - Amazon - ByteDance - Cohere - Facebook - Perplexity So even if you've…
“I’ve been at OpenAI for almost a year now. In that time, I’ve trained a lot of generative models. The “it” in AI models is the dataset” Thank you we need more people to stand up and admit this. I have been trying for decades. But now it is making sense. nonint.com/2023/06/10/the…
I agree with Carl here. Training data is ultimately more critical to generative AI output than the choice of model architecture. It is the most important resource for generative AI models. It must be licensed.

Let's try this. If you're a @squarespace user, would you rather have AI crawlers on or off by default? (ON means AI companies can train their models on your website content; OFF means they can't.)

@ednewtonrex I hope Spotify changes that soon. They recently introduced the 1k plays payment treshold, now this. Awful for hard working musicians who now get even less
@Spotify what's your position on this?
Spotify is actively recommending AI music made by AI models that may be trained on copyrighted music without permission. 240k monthly listeners for this ‘artist’. Half a million streams of the top track. This eats into the royalty pool available to human musicians. Generative…
@ednewtonrex As one of those human artists, it can be really demoralizing. To know that the care and detail that goes into making great music is lost on so many people, that they just want something good enough that they can turn on and off like a faucet
@ednewtonrex Yes. Looking at artists posting on Instagram, listening to music, wondering when their work will get absorbed into the Borg, wondering whether my artistic kid will find a way to follow her career dreams as a young adult.
@ednewtonrex I'm thinking the same when seeing the works of my favorite artists, reading books, listening to music. I've read that AI developers even scrape choreography, so dancers are not safe, no one is safe. I cannot believe such parasitic business practices are still tolerated.
@ednewtonrex 👋 Exact same feeling Ed. Artists are already going through a lot. I'm hoping they stay strong during this wave of Generative AI.
@ednewtonrex Yes. I recognize this feeling 100%. Another thing you'll probably find more frequently over time as music AI becomes more common: When discovering new musicians/artists, you'll have a small hesitation in your mind that it might be AI, before you let yourself fully enjoy it.
Training in copyrighted data seemed obvious for music ai given txt2img (ahem, midjourney and openAI), but glad to see someone deep diving into analysis here.
I analyzed a bunch of Suno's output, and found it generates music that closely resembles well-known, copyrighted music: melodies, chord progressions, lyrics, instrumental parts, and styles. This raises serious questions about what it’s trained on. Here are some examples 👇🧵…
Just found out Americans don't have two separate shower heads for hot and cold! Excuse me!?
@ednewtonrex They also argue it’s too complicated. Which is not true.
@ednewtonrex I know over 1200 photo researchers who would be happy to help them license the images they stole
It’s the 2nd #WorldIPDay since AI corps decided IP laws don’t apply to them, and began devastating art markets & communities. By the time 3rd one rolls around I hope relevant orgs would have started advocating for protecting creators in the face of this unprecedented exploitation
The amazing thing about that AI Board post was that for a few hours, everyone on my feed forgot they were supposed to be fighting. Safety, acc, anti-AI artists, open-source - all in near unison turned to look at this new thing that had appeared, and in one voice, condemned it.
How Washington all too often works (and a big part of why I wrote Taming Silicon Valley) in three screenshots — with thanks to @ednewtonrex @tolgabilge (from today) and @MarietjeSchaake (from August) for speaking truth to power. This is not the way to a thriving, AI-positive…
Retweeting this from August ‘cause it seems awfully relevant again.
Imagine a convening about the question of how to legislate for CO2 reduction with the CEOs of Chevron, Aramco, Shell, Exxon, BMW, Ford, Tata, BP, oh and a Greenpeace activist 🤷🏼♀️
@derekslater @ednewtonrex “Fair use complies with Berne” is both reductive & conclusory. Fair use complies with Berne only to the extent it observes the requirements of the Convention. As you know, Berne/TRIPS provides a framework for consideration of any exception. Ed’s original comment was 100% correct.
@ednewtonrex My guess is that it is because the focus is on national security (this is Department of Homeland Security, after all).
@ednewtonrex It may prejudice their interests RE having a market for their life's work, but it's supposed to cure cancer, and it doesn't get much better than that!
