JoGoLev explains the importance of AI transparency and the California AB-412 bill. If you want to help support transparency in AI datasets, sign this petition - it'll take 1 minute! tinyurl.com/4uxbp963

The hearing on AI dataset transparency on 12/8 was a resounding success! Artists, animators, voice actors, actors, writers, musicians, and other creatives showed up en masse in solidarity with one another and to support more transparency in the AI datasets! There was standing room only! 1/2

Everyone who wants sensible regulation regarding AI training on copyrighted works: we're asking you to actually show up IN PERSON to support CA bill AB412 on: Monday Dec 8 @ 10am Stanford University - Paul Brest Hall 555 Salvatierra Walk, Stanford, CA 94305 if you can. RSVP here: bit.ly/44lRMsX

Open AI doesn't want to be transparent about what's in their datasets - this bill would force them. If you're pro AI regulation (esp if you're in Bay Area), please show up and offer your support for this bill! If you can't make it, help spread the word! RSVP link: bit.ly/44lRMsX Details below 👇

Nice of the Avatar: Fire and Ash trailer to let Fantastic Four play after it

🔥 It's happening! Disney and Universal are suing Midjourney and they cited mine and Gary Marcus' work exposing their infringement in their filing. LET'S GO! 🔥

This lawsuit is brutal. One of the exhibits is the letter Universal sent to Midjourney, including a quote from a 2022 Forbes interview that I bet midjourney regrets

Tech CEOs saying the loud part out loud. Seems like maybe we shouldn’t take away the ability to regulate AI? Call your senators and ask them to remove the AI regulation ban in the budget reconciliation bill! Don’t know who to call or what to say? Use my cheat sheet: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Woah, US Copyright Office (USCO) Director is suing the Administration for her firing! Also this is a great opportunity to share the @authorsguild.bsky.social open petition to reinstate Shira Perlmutter as the USCO Director that I think everyone should sign 🔥 authorsguild.org/petition-to-...

Many things worth pulling all the stops to fight with the reconciliation bill in the senate—one that should be very DOABLE is getting rid of the insane "no state or local regulation of AI/automated systems for 10 years". Per @kortizart.bsky.social, CALL YOUR SENATORS about this, wherever you are.

Huge shoutout to the bi-partisan group of 35 State Legislators here in CA who signed on to a letter to Congress in OPPOSITION to the 10 Year State AI Regulations Ban. Hopefully other states are doing something similar. #NoStateAIRegulationsBan
