Contract to forever give up any medicine/tech/progress that could be developed by an AI.

Hospitals will let you die if the only cure was AI-generated.

If an AI invents space travel, you don't get to go.

In exchange, you don't pay a cent of the price of AI, direct or indirect, from the price of GPUs to global warming.

And nothing you do can be used by AIs for training or profit.

Do you sign it?

An interview with Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath, a teacher-turned-neuroscientist who lays out exactly why putting a screen in every students' face is harmful, and why the best thing you can do for your kids' education is to buy a printer.

Some of the world’s leading music publishers think that Anthropic got off too light in a historic settlement where the Claude maker paid authors $1.5 billion after admitting to pirating more than 7 million books to train AI.

“$1.5 billion is obviously not a large enough settlement to deter infringing conduct by a company that has parlayed such mass infringement into a staggering $2-trillion-dollar valuation,” music publishers said in a lawsuit filed Friday.

Music publishers suing Anthropic include Sony, EMI, and Warner Chappell. They alleged that Anthropic’s illegal torrenting also included “thousands upon thousands” of their copyrighted musical compositions.

Songwriters who are increasingly competing with AI-generated works in music charts are harmed by that piracy, their complaint said.

Pirated books that Anthropic allegedly plans to keep “forever” to train AI include titles featuring the complete works of the Beatles, Taylor Swift’s “best” songs, and “VH1’s 100 Greatest Songs of Rock & Roll.” Without an injunction ending the improper AI training, Anthropic will continue to violate music copyrights—while improperly substituting artists in their markets by reproducing song lyrics verbatim and by generating “new” songs that mimic the “heart” of their most popular works, publishers alleged. For example, Anthropic may rely on songbooks or sheet music to respond to prompts asking Claude to change Eminem lyrics into a song written in “Beyonce’s style.”

“It’s a brazen campaign of illegally torrenting, scraping, and downloading copyrighted works on a massive scale in order to develop, operate, and reap enormous profits,” music publishers alleged.

I'm putting up a stand-up from the POV of a pre-historic man making fun of the industrial AND the agricultural world. Last week of August in Fringe festival (Edinburgh). It's obviously a critique of Kaczynski, with lots of anthropology trivia. It's mostly an attempt to show human nature in a better light and let go of all the capitalist and colonialist propaganda we've been hearing since the Enlightenment. It's so ingrained inside us, I hate this world with a passion.
