I updated my textures datasets, both Natural Ground pack and Urban Surfaces pack. There are now 17 and 16 sets in each one respectively for a total of 432 images at 4K cc-by-sa-nc. Fun for training domain-specific generators! https://

Voice AI Ethics: Latent Space Similarity and Publicity Rights
By
–
It's partly a question of dataset, but also a question of how similar the voice "code" is in the latent space. Maybe they picked that point to be similar intentionally, or it was an accident… either way, if it's similar moral rights and Right Of Publicity are infringed.

Concept Art Remains Least Automated Creative Role

Yeah, I was about to reply that. I can see how Concept Art would be the least automated though, of all the creative roles… I'm a long-distance flight away so I'm not sure I can make it this time!

Automation in Creative Industries: Work Hours and Bottom-Up Implementation
By
–
Oh, that sounds wonderful! I've been in parts of creative industry where people work 80h+ a week and most of it is rather mechanical. After the first 30-40h the appreciation drops a bit… (Regardless, I believe automation should come from the bottom-up.)

Legal Data Pipelines Enable AI Projects to Survive Criticism

If there is such a plausible data pipeline that makes it legal, then it'd be easy to keep the project online in the face of criticism.

AI Advocates’ Blind Support Fuels Copyright Infringement Concerns
By

The outrage is made worse by the fact pro-AI droids don't understand what's going on and blindly will encourage infringement for all its applications… (Including top personalities in the space.)

IP Rights and Content Moderation in Digital Age

There is value in calling out infringement and using of people's IP / identity without consent or compensation. Twitter does make things snowball quickly, which is indeed a problem. It was still right to take it down even if it wasn't Terminator-level threat.

Respecting Creator Rights and Ethical AI Business Practices

Do you believe it's beneficial for Benji's business to respect the wishes of writers and the community at large? Do you believe Benji himself when he says he never wanted to be involved in this kind of practice? If so, you should respect and support his decision too…

Fair Use Unlawful Works: Legal Implications for AI Training
By
–
That said, it appears there is case law that relates to Fair Use *not* being granted for unlawfully accepted works — and that's the standard internationally. You don't get Fair Use for unlawfully acquired works, so there may well be multiple infringements there.
