Human artists project themselves with Glaze. AI image prompters co-opt #Glaze to fake their art as human art. Exploitation knows no bounds.

❝ provide examples or screenshots that show evidence of your personal information OpenAI did that to me too. By GDPR, companies must say what they got on us, so we can request to erase our info. Not us showing what was spewed out by their AI models. They are breaking the law.

Remember when Meta allowed you to submit a request to disallow the use of your data for AI training? They're now sending this out to people as a follow up to request "evidence". They don't have the manpower to review this for everyone, it's a tactic to get you to give up.

You might wonder why I started talking about AI since ChatGPT came out. It's mainly this shit "Good enough" output is good enough. Unless they're focusing on super bespoke things, most companies will be fine with good enough Us writers are first, but they'll come after you too

Researchers at large AI labs say a 20-50% risk of extinction from AI if we keep developing this shit, and they keep developing this shit. If you believe that, how about you whistleblow on harmful activities? Disclose the pirated book datasets. Share notes on reckless meetings.

Fun fact about Sam Altman: back in 2018, he signed up with a company called Nectome to have his brain preserved so that it could later be uploaded to a digital computer. Nectome's process of brain preservation requires the patient to be euthanized.
