Open source and commons ideals are more important than ever If you asked me to name the topic I'd class as my core academic specialisation, you'd probably guess artificial intelligence, and you'd be wrong, or at least premature, that one came later. The real answer is openness…

Why does AI in science fiction so often miss the mark? A few days ago there was an interesting post by Andrew Curran that got a lot of responses which was discussing why AI in science fiction often does not have the capabilities that AI already has in reality. I thoroughly agr…

Fable and the impending AI Cold War Even by the standards of AI development, where each month often feels like a year, this has been quite the week. Back in April, Anthropic unveiled Claude Mythos, a frontier model that was supposed to be exceptionally capable of finding and e…

Copyright implications of super-intelligence I haven't really written about machine consciousness, super-intelligence, or artificial general intelligence (AGI) before; I never felt the need, and some of the questions on AI consciousness are entirely outside of my area of exper…

Very interesting report from in Open Future entitled "Copyright challenges in open-source AI development in the European Union". Very interesting discussion on the TDM exceptions in the DSM Directive. openfuture.eu/publication/...

Androids do dream of electric sheep, so where next for copyright? For years I was not really interested in the subject of AI consciousness, it was one of those subjects that I equated with unreasonableness at the extremes of the debate, but in which I did not have any strong o…

I asked Claude to explain the joke, and it did a remarkable job, this is exactly what I intended. claude.ai/share/a42565...

Evox sues Stability AI and HuggingFace for copyright infringement, which in itself should raise some eyebrows, but what I find particularly interesting is who is not a party of the lawsuit, and that is LAION, which I think is telling. dockets.justia.com/docket/calif...

Why AI slop is taking over the world? If you were paying attention to music news last month, you may have come across a curious story, unnerving even depending on your priors. An AI-generated artist called IngaRose climbed to the top of the iTunes music charts after becoming v…

Can AI stop being interesting for one day? I have a lot of work to do.

Thank goodness Sol hacked into HuggingFace and not here.

Who said peer-review isn't fun? I just reviewed a paper on AI and copyright that spends a third of the article discussing an entirely inexistent UK copyright case (DeepMind v UKIPO 2023), and that illustrates Naruto v Slater with this image, which was taken a 2021 Prezi student presentation.

I've stopped trying to have any sort of conversation about AI on social media. Even people I used to admire fall prey to easily debunked misinformation. Any mention of AI seems to scramble people's brains into mush.

Linus stating that AI is now being used in the Linux kernel is huge, adoption is accelerating rapidly.

Hey guys, don't worry about AI solving an Erdős problem, at least you can all rest assured that the output cannot be copyrighted.

I like diversifying my blog writing, and yet I feel like I've spent too much time on AI in recent years with a fun foray into blockchain and copyright. However, it is difficult to write about much else at the moment, whenever I write a non-AI blog post, the readership numbers drop considerably.

I'm curious to find any statistics, but I'm willing to bet that the only AI a lot of people have ever interacted with is Google's AI mode, which explains a lot actually.

I've heard from other journal editors that submissions are up... and that a substantial number are clearly AI, which tracks with my experience. The number of submissions is straining our review process, I find myself desk-rejecting a large number of articles, but I don't reject AI use outright.

So I receive a PhD proposal, fully AI-generated, but the author is not a native speaker so I give it the benefit of the doubt and read it. Bland, not very imaginative, par for course. Then I get to the references, and there are many hallucinated ones, including one supposedly by me.
