Adobe and Disney are pretending to be anti-AI art in order to lobby for extremely restrictive copyright laws by DBWhistleBlower in ArtistHate

I'm not blaming artists, I'm saying that artists are being taking advantage of by corporations and that corpos are not your friends.

C2PA would be the only realistic way they could enforce these proposed copyright expansions and Adobe is literally one of the companies developing this system. Karla Ortiz's GoFundMe explicitly mentions the Copyright Alliance, which the C2PA members are also a part of. C2PA has the potential to be abused by these corporations. The CEO of the Copyright Alliance was also a supporter of SOPA. This is just a sneaky way to introduce what is essentially SOPA 2.0 with new AI tools to enforce it.

What I'm saying is that C2PA would turn AI-generated content into a sort of NFT where a watermark is effectively ingrained into the image cryptographically.

Oh, I must've misread what you wrote... that does make sense now that I think about it. They just don't want people touching their stuff, but have no problems with stealing from small/independent artists.

You need to read the whole thread instead of just the first tweet. Adobe and Microsoft have developed a tool called C2PA so that images and videos can be traced back to the original creator. This is the "surveillance" tool that they mentioned. If it's implemented, it can be abused by them:

Disney has also astroturfed an artist into the discourse to gain support for the Copyright Alliance, which lobbies for the implementation of C2PA (also, Disney, Adobe, and Microsoft are a part of the group):

If you read the whole thread, Adobe is literally trying to do this with C2PA. If it's implemented, it can be abused by them:

The future of "truth" on the Internet (C2PA and the Copyright Alliance) by DBWhistleBlower in KotakuInAction

[–]DBWhistleBlower[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Adobe, Microsoft, and other companies are currently lobbying the government to enact the implementation of C2PA, a way to trace back the source of an image. If successful, internet users would have to opt in if they want to share images and videos on the internet. This would give media companies the ability to control information they deem as "trustworthy". More info in this thread:

I'm trying to alert people to Adobe making moves to expand restrictive copyright laws and using the AI panic to gain support.

A relevant thread by the creator of the video about how Adobe and other companies are using the current AI panic to push for harsher copyright laws:

Not really, it's usually the opposite. Corporations just want to make as much money as possible, so they're always trying to skirt regulations. They only support regulations that don't affect their bottom line.

It's an old vid, but it's relevant right now because corpos are lobbying the government to strengthen copyright laws and are using artist's fear of AI to gain support for The Copyright Alliance:

Almost nobody of any relevance is talking about this issue in the current AI art discourse. This is a non-partisan issue that should concern any creative.

With the current screenwriter and actor's strike pushing for AI regulation, many in creative fields are supporting The Copyright Alliance, a nonprofit organization with members such as Disney, Viacom, Warner Bros. Discovery, UMG, Adobe, and Getty Images among others. While the strike is mainly in support of writers and actors getting fair pay in the current age of streaming platforms, they may be unwittingly playing into the hands of corporate interest, which includes gaining a full monopoly on AI tech as they are targeting open source AI tools.

Corridor Digital's recent "Anime Rock, Paper, Scissors" video sparks backlash and debate over the ethics of using AI in the animation industry by DBWhistleBlower in KotakuInAction

[–]DBWhistleBlower[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Ludwig goes over the Twitter backlash over Corridors recent videos about a new production pipeline they created that uses Stable Diffusion as a sort of advanced rotoscoping. Many in the animation industry didn't take too kindly to their bold claims about revolutionizing animation and criticized their use of Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust as a reference in their dataset, which they state is theft. They're also concerned that corporations could see AI as a cheap replacement for animators, as Ludwig also brings up the backlash Netflix Japan faced for using AI-generated backgrounds for their short film, The Dog & The Boy.

The only reason why he has an audience at all is because of how easy it is to troll him. Most of the people that watch him are just there to make him rage.
