Joining Threads from Instagram is easy, but migrating from Twitter is a headache! This shows why we need social media based on open protocols – as @WhatTheLJW and I explain today in @HarvardBiz: hbr.org/2023/07/thread…

Whoa. Adobe is offering *full* legal indemnification for copyright lawsuits over generated images that enterprise users produce in Firefly. Their model is trained on licensed & out of copyright images, which others don't do - so it's a big throw-down. fastcompany.com/90906560/adobe…

No, it could not. Full stop. If any Hollywood exec claims they're replacing workers with AI, know that people are working as scabs behind the scenes. Because, I repeat, AI cannot replace human workers. Writers, editors, and otherwise.

This is such a powerful example. And TBH one of the best ways to "regulate" AI: organized workers demanding dignified and safe working conditions, rejecting the idea that AI-enabled degradation of work is inevitable!

I'm not arguing w the fact that AI poses risks. I AM ceaselessly annoyed by the pattern This is not new or novel. It was women - @timnitGebru @mmitchell_ai, me, et al - who rang the AI alarm years ago & were retaliated against, pushed out for doing so. nytimes.com/2023/05/01/tec…
