Margaret Atwood, Viet Thanh Nguyen and 8,000 others have signed an open letter asking that permission is obtained and compensation given when a writer’s work is used by AI
The open letter, which has been set up by the Authors Guild, America’s largest professional organisation for writers, is addressed to the CEOs of OpenAI, Alphabet, Meta, Stability AI, and IBM. It presents these generative AI leaders with three demands, asking that these companies: “Obtain permission for use of our copyrighted material”; “Compensate writers fairly for the past and ongoing use of our works”, and “Compensate writers fairly for the use of our works in AI output, whether or not the outputs are infringing under current law”.
- If I read one of their books and am "inspired" by it (unconsciously, even) to write my own book. What percentage do they get?palimpsest
- < Good point, actuallyhardhat
- Like many things, AI is an opportunity to learn more about ourselves. But we always seem to see the problem outside ourselves.palimpsest
- Would be a good point but Chatgpt isn't human and you are incapable of running 175 billion parameters using 45 terabytes of training datajonny_quest_lives
- None of these Ai companies offer anything for free... the amount of bootlicking for their product is amazing.jonny_quest_lives

‘A certain danger lurks there’: how the inventor of the first chatbot turned against AI
Computer scientist Joseph Weizenbaum was there at the dawn of artificial intelligence – but he was also adamant that we must never confuse computers with humans
- confident that 99.9999% never heard of weizenbaum or this is their first time.... idiot planet..neverscared
- You've met him?robthelad
- not personally...neverscared
- yay I've heard of him, I read about his early chat bot experiments, I'm the .00001%! where's my basket of fruit parting gift?_niko

unlooper leverages the power of VampNet, a masked generative model for music, to generate variations of loop a musician has recorded, creating a more interactive and fun experience than using a traditional looper.

AI use in breast cancer screening as good as two radiologists, study finds
Preliminary results from major trial show use of technology almost halves human workload
The use of artificial intelligence in breast cancer screening is safe and can almost halve the workload of radiologists, according to the world’s most comprehensive trial of its kind.
Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer globally, according to the World Health Organization, with more than 2.3 million women developing the disease every year.
Screening can improve prognosis and reduce mortality by spotting breast cancer at an earlier, more treatable stage. Preliminary results from a large study suggest AI screening is as good as two radiologists working together, does not increase false positives and almost halves the workload.
The interim safety analysis results of the first randomised controlled trial of its kind involving more than 80,000 women were published in the Lancet Oncology journal.

"Open sourcing AudioCraft: Generative AI for audio made simple and available to all"
https://ai.meta.com/blog/audiocr…
"AudioCraft consists of three models: MusicGen, AudioGen, and EnCodec. MusicGen, which was trained with Meta-owned and specifically licensed music, generates music from text-based user inputs, while AudioGen, which was trained on public sound effects, generates audio from text-based user inputs.
Today, we’re excited to release an improved version of our EnCodec decoder, which allows for higher quality music generation with fewer artifacts; our pre-trained AudioGen model, which lets you generate environmental sounds and sound effects like a dog barking, cars honking, or footsteps on a wooden floor; and all of the AudioCraft model weights and code.
The models are available for research purposes and to further people’s understanding of the technology.
We’re excited to give researchers and practitioners access so they can train their own models with their own datasets for the first time and help advance the state of the art."

- Yeah I don’t doubt it, kinda sucks the fun out of it all tho... end result is we all just float around on hover chairs all day long drinking slurpeesprophetone
- I mean could be fun for remixing favs... paste in the scripts for ET, Aliens, Police Academy, Friday the 13th in one shot, see what amazing new classic pops outprophetone

- Anti-AI, 100%. I still don't know why some of you are still fucking with it.garbage
- And since it's my soapbox here, I've been ranting for about a decade that we need to start advocating for UBI because we're all going to be irrelevant.garbage
- Every time you use it, you are training something that's going to train bigger proprietary engines that you will not have access to.garbage
- There will be directors that don't exist winning "Best Picture". Just watch. And Adobe still is sitting on about 9 years of training Sensei.garbage
- this will float some more power and money into studio bosses bank accounts..... finally .. the rich get richer same old ... same old..neverscared
- Soon everyone will be making movies at home, and no one will watch these moviesdrgs
- UBI is coming. We just need a good lynching of a few billionaires to get them motivated.formed
- Doesn’t this actually do the opposite, the same way the music industry has shifted? Cheaper, accessible, powerful tech to empower independent artistsprophetone
- You won’t need the budget of Marvel Studios to craft highly visual worlds for your budget films, new ways to express creativityprophetone
- I think the initial novelty of the ‘this is def stylized ai’ will wear off and will be used in more subtle ways by actual creative filmmakersprophetone
- Like i.e. Black Mirror Metalhead... could be filmed partially traditionally like it was but young filmmaker can use ai to help superimpose the killer robot dogprophetone
- on his Nokiaprophetone
- I mean that to me is the bright side... the dark side is a future where the streaming giants employ a cheap ‘Joan is Awful’ approach to generate a % of contentprophetone
- @prophetone +1Krassy
- Yeah, for independent artists that reject AI, they'll get their Patreon money from their niche crowds. And then Patreon will start taking a bigger cut..garbage
- ..when that starts happening. The game is over, and UBI should have happened a decade ago.garbage
- And there will be new crowdfunding sources that get bought out and monopolized, and at some point subscription-based crowdfunding.garbage
- I love how her hair evolves through the scene, so dreamlike and incorrect. @garbage - you need to find a different tangent to fight this, brotherNairn
- It's inevitable, however you wish to view it.
This is troubling, but we somehow need to find our groove with it.Nairn - how's the hyperbole in these comments... like hanging out with my parentsinteliboy
- Gardner does have a point, when I thought about advertising and graphic design back in the day I thought it was painting signs by hand (which I did)_niko
- Now it looks like I’ll be joining Gardner and doing it once more :) unless the machines figure this out too lol_niko
