I figured I'd post a little bit of my Matrix Resurrections work here. These were done under the production design of Hugh Bateup and Peter Walpole, and the direction of Lana Wachowski. These are some designs from IO, including Niobe's keep and the Morpheus shrine. Hope you enjoy!
This is the same thing Kroger is trying to do to your groceries. Corporations are hoping to use AI to squeeze every penny they can out of you, it's not for your benefit, it's for theirs.
You’ll now get even more surge pricing when you’re trying to buy a plane ticket.
Senators Hawley & Blumenthal are introducing a bill that would definitively make it illegal to train AI on copyrighted works without permission. As a judge recently said, it is likely already illegal in many cases, and unlikely to qualify as ‘fair use’. But this would put an end…
The foxes now own the hen house
The government and @OpenAI have signed a new strategic partnership. This will improve collaboration in AI security research and explore investment in the UK’s AI infrastructure.
Wall Street’s AI Bubble Is Worse Than the 1999 Dot-com Bubble, Warns a Top Economist ...the top ten AI stocks are more detached from reality than the tech titans of the 1990s were. His chart is a stark warning that history is about to repeat itself. link below:
Calling art and the things you create 'content' devalues it before people even engage with it. Treating it like a product being pushed off an assembly line isn't going to do you any favors with how people perceive and enjoy your work. Take pride in what you do, call it what it is
AI bros always calling artists entitled is interesting, considering there's literally nothing more entitled than using AI trained on millions of other people's work without credit or compensation, while also displacing them from their jobs.
Geez, seems the “artists” are really upset that others don’t mind incorporating Ai into their workflow. What a bunch of entitled and insecure people. Lol. Just take a look through the comments. Ai will only get better. Stay stuck in your ways. Good with that in a year or 2. 👍
AI artists are tourists, and even worse, they're the type of tourists who lack respect for the place they're visiting and end up trashing everything while deliberately antagonizing the locals. If fear mongering is your primary conversion tactic, you've already lost.
AI writing and art is the future. Embrace the tool or be left behind.
Ahem.
Guys it's nice that you all managed to make the connection between "yellow" and "AI generated" but hold your horses before you go insane over it Yellow color exists and isn't something exclusive to AI, especially on what's supposed to be renaissance paintings
Creators share far & wide please! A US Senator is taking a *hard* stand against AI theft of copyright & personal data No matter your party, we need to support & amplify 📢
What is AI doing with your personal information? Stealing it. Selling it. Getting rich off it. It’s time to start protecting the American people
This is big. Judge rules these authors can bring a class action lawsuit against Anthropic for their use of pirated books. Anthropic may have used up to 7 million pirated books, which means potentially billions of dollars in damages. reuters.com/legal/governme…
Two headlines from the past 24 hours. See the problem yet?
A thorough breakdown on recent news concerning the newly formed certified class on the Bartz v Anthropic case. It perfectly illustrates why the GenAi industry is truly built on a house of cards. chatgptiseatingtheworld.com/2025/07/17/ant…
WeTransfer today updated its terms to allow it to train AI models on the work people send each other, then deleted this passage and said that’s not the intention. But the language remaining is vague, and could still cover training. They should update their terms to explicitly…
How is this acceptable, @WeTransfer? You’re not a free service, I *pay* you to shift my big artwork files. I DON’T pay you to have the right to use them to train AI or print, sell and distribute my artwork and set yourself up as a commercial rival to me, using my own work.😡
Hugging Face is not only hosting copyrighted works that other people upload - its co-founders are uploading other people’s copyrighted works themselves. It’s hard to see how this is meaningfully different from a piracy website. BookCorpus has been on Hugging Face for 3 years, &…
