a screenshot of a tweet from Mick Kiely, founder of IAIAI saying "Without effective regulation, artists' work will continue to be exploited, funnelling value to AI companies. With OpenAI's current valuation at $157 billion, employees and former employees are set to receive up to $10 million each, while those who contribute the most—artists and rights holders—remain denied any remuneration for what is undeniably the lifeblood of AI."
We all want an open web, open knowledge, data, science and content (and AI). But when society makes power so unequal, so imbalanced economically, how can we continue like this?
