Credtent's Open Letter to Creatives Before creative people give up on their battles with LLMs, please consider our 3 Pillars of Creative Consent so you can include them in your settlements.

I sincerely hope @authorsguild.org doesn't let Anthropic get away with a single one-time payment for the 7M #books they used for training without #creativeconsent. At Credtent.org, we believe in subscription payments for using #creative work for #AItraining.

Mark Zuckerberg gave Meta's Llama team the OK to train on copyrighted works, filing claims | TechCrunch Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg gave Meta's Llama team approval to train on copyrighted documents, according to a new court filing.

Using Meta #AI tools like #llama is dangerous. Relying on the Fair Use defense isn’t going to work. #Artists need to be paid for their work or be allowed to exclude it from AI training materials. We need #creativeconsent in the Age of AI. #protectartists
