Why the AI backlash has turned violent And why it's probably only going to get worse from here.

Haven Social, the anti-ai Instagram alternative YouTube video by Roxane Lapa

I interviewed the founder of Haven, an anti-ai social platform in the pipelines, which disincentivizes ai slop, and also poisons ai models that attempt to scrape data from it (like Nightshade). I grilled him on funding, algorithms, moderation, etc.

no probs :)

No I don't want a pin, and I can't believe you guys still went and put up an AI version when the vote was overwhelmingly against AI. Stop fence sitting and remove that slop.

Oh cool. Do you happen to have a link to it, or was it a pop up in Discord? Happy new year by the way :)

DuckDuckGo (the search engine I use) has a poll right now to vote yes or no on AI, and the results so far are going pretty much as expected 😂

Down with the Gatekeepers! Who…are Artists, Apparently Of all the arguments put forth by the hype-bros for Generative AI, this one is perhaps the most perplexing. And it deserves serious scrutiny. By Jared White

Excellent article as always from Jared White. I love his analogy of AI with Sylar from Heroes, where his great power was cannibalizing other hero's powers.
