it’s about the fact that you’re destroying the planet, trying to put millions of people out of work, making the internet unusable, and turning all culture into slop. hope this helps!
I stand with the @WaoResistencia pple in their fight to protect the Amazon Rainforest from Big Oil+mining! I demand @CorteConstEcu convene an urgent hearing+ protect Indigenous Pples' right to decide over the future of the rainforest. RT so Ecuador's judges know the world is 👀

We just hit 39,000 signatures on the Statement on AI Training.
Creators around the world reject the notion, espoused by some AI companies, that training AI on their work without a license is somehow good for them. Rather, it is a major & unjust threat.
Very grateful to Hayley Atwell, Kit Harington, Charles Dance, and the many other new signatories.
Still open ➡️ aitrainingstatement.org
Today we’re publishing a statement on AI training, signed by 10,000+ creators already:
“The unlicensed use of creative works for training generative AI is a major, unjust threat to the livelihoods of the people behind those works, and must not be permitted.”
Signatories include James Patterson, Björn Ulvaeus, Julianne Moore, Sir Kazuo Ishiguro, and many more.

mRNA vaccines are vaccines
mRNA vaccines are not gene therapy
Covid vaccines were tested
Covid vaccines work
MMR vaccine does not cause autism
There is no such thing as "turbo cancer"
Happy Monday!

This is Ann Telnaes, a longtime political cartoonist for the Washington Post. She resigned yesterday after owner Jeff Bezos blocked her cartoon criticizing Donald Trump and billionaires supporting him from being published.
RETWEET if you stand with @AnnTelnaes!

If people tell you gen AI is a tool rather than a replacement for human creativity, show them this new data from Harvard Business Review:
- ChatGPT reduced writing jobs by 30% and coding jobs by 20%
- AI image generators reduced image creation jobs by 17%
- These numbers are not rebounding
- The effect is bigger and faster than with other forms of automation
It’s self-evident that generative AI competes with the work it’s trained on, and the people behind that work. But there is now a growing body of evidence to support this.

When Rowling announced that Dumbledore was gay Terry Pratchett joked:
"Rincewind would like to announce that he is gay. Since he never gets any, it really doesn't make much difference which any he doesn't get, and at least he might get a brief reputation for social awareness"

UK households paying the licence fee (24m households) are involuntarily funding AI companies, since the BBC’s content has been scraped from YouTube for AI training.
Why is the UK government planning to legalise this, instead of enforcing the law / strengthening protections?
(The BBC has ‘opted out’ of AI training, but opt-outs are ineffective, so there’s every sign their content is still being used.)

Israel admits it killed journalists it knew were journalists and not Hamas fighters. Journalists all over the world keep silent
IDF is now openly acknowledging the 5 journalists they incinerated were indeed operating as journalists, but the IDF believed their work was “combat propaganda.”
The IDF is entitled to its opinion and is free to engage in media criticism, but deliberately killed 5 journalists because you don’t like their work is terrorism, barbarism, a crime against humanity, and should be prosecuted immediately

I’m a cybernetic organism.
Champion bodybuilder. Then blockbuster movie star. Then governor of CA (highest role possible since not born here). Now out here inspiring and lifting people up, instead of kicking back in retirement. We need to realize @Schwarzenegger might actually BE a T-800 Terminator.
