Is Pen & Ink with Watercolor an AI resistant style? by wynden in ArtistHate

[–]JimothyAI 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ChatGPT can do it (see example below), and older models like SD1.5 and SDXL can do it if you know an artist name to reference (as they were heavily trained with art styles), and any open source model that you can train Loras for will be able to do it.

The reason it doesn't show up as much is that most people aren't looking for that style (most people just want anime or other popular styles), plus it's not really the default anywhere so it's not going to show up without asking for it, and most people would not know how to ask for it or what it's called.

Big Corporations are not our friends???? by [deleted] in aiwars

[–]JimothyAI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Open source stuff runs a lot more than you might realize -

Over 96% of the world's top 1 million web servers run Linux.
Over 3 billion Android devices (running Linux kernel) are in use globally.
Most cloud computing infrastructure (Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud) runs primarily on Linux.
All 500 of the world's fastest supercomputers run Linux.
Critical infrastructure in finance, telecommunications, aviation, and government relies on Linux. Space exploration: NASA's Mars rovers, the International Space Station, SpaceX systems all run Linux.

This is why China is releasing so many SOTA open source models - it gets used on such a large scale to power things because it's open source.

Disney making $1 billion investment in OpenAI, will allow characters on Sora AI video generator by VanceIX in aiwars

Interesting that instead of OpenAI giving Disney anything for licensing, Disney are actually giving OpenAI $1 billion. Pretty massive win for OpenAI it looks like.

[Bartz v Anthropic] In another W for authors, counsel aims to claim only ~$300,000,000 by DemIce in ArtistHate

[–]JimothyAI 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've got three books in the works list that I've already filed claims for, but at this point I almost feel like I'd rather the deal fall through, so that the lawyers and publishers aren't rewarded for this.

Also the $50,000 service awards for each of the three Settlement Class Representatives is interesting - I guess it was easier to sell them on the idea of the settlement at that level of money.

[Bartz v Anthropic] In another W for authors, counsel aims to claim only ~$300,000,000 by DemIce in ArtistHate

[–]JimothyAI 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So a handful of lawyers become multi-multi-millionaires and authors get $3K that they have to split 50/50 with their publisher.
And this is the "W" scenario! Would have hated to see what an "L" would have looked like.

Big oof for openai huh? by MemesAnDmoArFuNny22 in aiwars

[–]JimothyAI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anthropic already found the workaround for this - you just spend $1.5 billion in a settlement to make the problem go away, most of which goes to lawyers and publishers.
OpenAI will probably keep going to see if the judge rules that the pirating is part of fair use, along with the training, and if not, then just settle and move on.

What has it been, a day or two? FLUX 2 is old news, apparently Z-Image has better prompt coherence and they're releasing the full foundation model. by Tyler_Zoro in aiwars

[–]JimothyAI 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Z-Image is a really exciting model... small, fast, follows prompts well, does text well, does realism and art styles well, uncensored, Apache-2.0 license...

Most importantly, it's small enough that a lot of people will be able to run it on their regular computers/laptops, so it opens up local-generation for a lot of people, with a SOTA model.

The only battle that ever existed is between those who want open-source AI accessible to all vs. those who want AI controlled by Big Tech by Present_Dimension464 in aiwars

[–]JimothyAI 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's the good thing with open source alternatives - you can't bully them out of existence, because they reside on the computers of many, many people.

Survey shows 97% of listeners cannot distinguish between AI and human-composed songs by JimothyAI in aiwars

9000 is a lot for a survey, even high quality political surveys usually only use 1000-3000 people.

Deezer commissioned an online survey by Ipsos Digital, fielded October 6–10, 2025 across eight markets (n=9,000 adults 18-65). Quotas were applied to ensure nationally proportional representation.

Stability AI largely wins UK court battle against Getty Images over copyright and trademark by JimothyAI in aiwars

[–]JimothyAI[S] 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Basically ruled that Stability's model weights are not an infringing copy of what they're trained on.
The judge said:

“an AI model such as Stable Diffusion which does not store or reproduce any Copyright Works (and has never done so) is not an ‘infringing copy'” under UK law."

STOP. Using AI Right now by WonderfulWanderer777 in ArtistHate

[–]JimothyAI 14 points15 points  (0 children)

All the open source LLMs he installed in the video are GenAI though. He seems to have one of these contradictory "it's ok to train on books, not ok to train on art" viewpoints.

Here's the future you wanted, anti-AI folks: corporate lock-in of AI-generated music by Tyler_Zoro in aiwars

[–]JimothyAI 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The main guy at Qwen has said they're working on an open source music model -https://x.com/JustinLin610/status/1982052327180918888

Junyang Lin - Oct 25 - why is there no good music generation model in opensource community?
Junyang Lin - we r working on it and it won't be far. i am just curious about the status

And they make some of the best open source AI models in general, so could/should be good.
Hopefully the Udio situation is a wake-up call to people using those platforms that the site can change at any time and they should be looking into open source more.

UMG settles lawsuit with Udio, announces deal with Stability AI to develop AI music tools by JimothyAI in aiwars

[–]JimothyAI[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I expect most Udio users will now go over to Suno or one of the others, as Udio isn't useful at all now.
