You can now search to find out which of your books, short stories, articles, etc. have been stolen by Meta/Facebook.

Most authors I know have had *their entire backlist* stolen.

Divest from Facebook/Instagram/Treads.

@molly0xfff on AI vs. scraping vs. copyright protection vs. openness. Very thoughtful (as usual) and worth reading.

Also included, this gem (together with other thoughts about sustainable business models):
«Many AI “visionaries” seem perfectly content to promise that artificial superintelligence is just around the corner, but claim that attribution is somehow a permanently unsolvable problem.»

Tiedoksi, että Pinterest käyttää kuviasi generatiivisen tekoälyn treenaamiseen. Tämä on vähintäänkin mielenkiintoista, sillä Pinterestin koko perusidea pohjautuu siihen, ettei tekijänoikeuksista välitetä lainkaan. Minunkin ottamia kuvia on siellä läjäpäin, enkä minä ole niitä sinne laittanut.

Pinterest tarjoaa asetuksista mahdollisuuden kytkeä tämän GenAI-roska pois päältä. Kuinka hyvin he sitä tottelevat, niin sitä en tiedä. Luonnollisesti asetus on oletuksena päällä, kuten ajankuvaan kuuluu.

Yesterday, someone described to me a future in which most literature was AI-generated, and real books were "artisan".

I'm still trying to find all the words to explain why that wouldn't be okay.

The now-famous "why should I read something you couldn't be bothered to write?" line lands, yes. But deeper than that, writing is an essential part of thinking and imagination.

And human thought and imagination must never be outsourced or replaced.
