Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"There are certainly some people who oppose AI completely, and who see even the supposed benefits of AI as little more than “bribes” designed to distract people from the overwhelming harms AI causes. But, in fairness, much more of the inchoate opposition to AI seems to be less about an outright rejection of AI, and more about a sense that there are appropriate and inappropriate areas for AI usage. Or, to put it a different way: there are lots of people who have no problem with AI being used to help with things like cancer detection, but who are worried that AI is harming students’ ability to think; similarly there are people who are willing to believe that AI can be used to make certain processes more efficient, but who don’t think that AI belongs in artistic pursuits. At this point many of us have heard some version of the joke that “AI was supposed to free us from drudgery so we could spend our time making art, but instead AI is making art and sticking us with the drudgery.” One can disagree with parts of that statement (was AI really “supposed” to do that? Can you call what AI generates “art”?), while still recognizing that many people’s hostility to AI is couched in a belief that AI is intruding into areas where it does not belong."</p><p><a href="https://librarianshipwreck.wordpress.com/2025/06/25/do-draugveils-roses-have-ai-thorns-what-the-debate-about-a-black-metal-album-says-about-ai-and-art/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">librarianshipwreck.wordpress.c</span><span class="invisible">om/2025/06/25/do-draugveils-roses-have-ai-thorns-what-the-debate-about-a-black-metal-album-says-about-ai-and-art/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GeneratedImages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GeneratedImages</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LLMs</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Automation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Automation</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Productivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Productivity</span></a></p>
Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"In the 2020s, Steyerl believes the poor image will become an endangered species: soon, most images circulating on the internet will no longer be photographic representations of reality, but data-based renderings that are essentially a programmatic fantasy. The ‘statistical image-making’ of Stable Diffusion and DALL-E derives its contents from large but ultimately incomplete datasets. The generated result is an average composite image that represents the machine’s idea of reality: six-fingered hands, distorted limbs, exaggerated body proportions and eerily smooth foods.</p><p>Medium Hot introduces a taxonomic framework for this visual phenomena – one that feels, at times, bloated and frantic in its categorical overlap. ‘Burnt-out images’ refer to works made from AI diffusion models, in which noise, or random data, is added to training data and then removed to generate an image. This diffusion process gives rise to what Steyerl dubs a ‘derivative image’, a term that echoes the concept of ‘derivatives’ in financial systems, highlighting the model’s extractive nature. Consider the derivative image a counterfeit version of the poor image. While the poor image attempts to skirt copyright limitations, the derivative image’s condition for existence is predicated on ‘large-scale data theft’. Steyerl highlights too the bias embedded in the AI means of production but ultimately resists the proposition that models should be inclusively reprogrammed on the basis that implementing diverse training data would only require more labour from microworkers and exacerbate the problem of data theft. AI thrives on disenfranchisement, contributing to ‘multipolar surveillance and… profound social disruptions’."</p><p><a href="https://artreview.com/hito-steyerls-medium-hot-the-age-of-slop-artificial-intelligence-terry-nguyen-opinion/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">artreview.com/hito-steyerls-me</span><span class="invisible">dium-hot-the-age-of-slop-artificial-intelligence-terry-nguyen-opinion/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AISlop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AISlop</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GeneratedImages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GeneratedImages</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/MediaTheory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MediaTheory</span></a></p>
Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Midjourney’s new AI-generated video tool will produce animated clips featuring copyrighted characters from Disney and Universal, WIRED has found—including video of the beloved Pixar character Wall-E holding a gun.</p><p>It’s been a busy month for Midjourney. This week, the generative AI startup released its sophisticated new video tool, V1, which lets users make short animated clips from images they generate or upload. The current version of Midjourney’s AI video tool requires an image as a starting point; generating videos using text-only prompts is not supported.</p><p>The release of V1 comes on the heels of a very different kind of announcement earlier in June: Hollywood behemoths Disney and Universal filed a blockbuster lawsuit against Midjourney, alleging that it violates copyright law by generating images with the studios’ intellectual property."</p><p><a href="https://www.wired.com/story/midjourney-generates-videos-of-disney-characters-amid-massive-copyright-lawsuit/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">wired.com/story/midjourney-gen</span><span class="invisible">erates-videos-of-disney-characters-amid-massive-copyright-lawsuit/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GeneratedImages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GeneratedImages</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/MidJourney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MidJourney</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Disney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Disney</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Universal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Universal</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Copyright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Copyright</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/IP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IP</span></a></p>
Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"If you stumbled across Terence Broad’s AI-generated artwork (un)stable equilibrium on YouTube, you might assume he’d trained a model on the works of the painter Mark Rothko — the earlier, lighter pieces, before his vision became darker and suffused with doom. Like early-period Rothko, Broad’s AI-generated images consist of simple fields of pure color, but they’re morphing, continuously changing form and hue.</p><p>But Broad didn’t train his AI on Rothko; he didn’t train it on any data at all. By hacking a neural network, and locking elements of it into a recursive loop, he was able to induce this AI into producing images without any training data at all — no inputs, no influences. Depending on your perspective, Broad’s art is either a pioneering display of pure artificial creativity, a look into the very soul of AI, or a clever but meaningless electronic by-product, closer to guitar feedback than music. In any case, his work points the way toward a more creative and ethical use of generative AI beyond the large-scale manufacture of derivative slop now oozing through our visual culture.</p><p>Broad has deep reservations about the ethics of training generative AI on other people’s work, but his main inspiration for (un)stable equilibrium wasn’t philosophical; it was a crappy job."</p><p><a href="https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/688576/feed-ai-nothing" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theverge.com/ai-artificial-int</span><span class="invisible">elligence/688576/feed-ai-nothing</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GeneratedImages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GeneratedImages</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AITraining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AITraining</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Copyright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Copyright</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/IP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IP</span></a></p>
Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Disney and Universal sued a prominent artificial intelligence start-up for copyright infringement on Wednesday, bringing Hollywood belatedly into the increasingly intense battle over generative A.I.</p><p>The movie companies sued Midjourney, an A.I. image generator that has tens of millions of registered users. The 110-page lawsuit contends that Midjourney “helped itself to countless” copyrighted works to train its software, which allows people to create images (and soon videos) that “blatantly incorporate and copy Disney’s and Universal’s famous characters.”</p><p>“Midjourney is the quintessential copyright free-rider and a bottomless pit of plagiarism,” the companies said in the lawsuit, which was filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.<br>Midjourney did not respond to requests for comment.</p><p>A.I. start-ups like Midjourney, which was introduced in 2022, train their software with data scraped from the internet and elsewhere, often without compensating creators. The practice has resulted in lawsuits from authors, artists, record labels and news organizations, among others. (The New York Times has sued OpenAI and its partner, Microsoft, for copyright infringement. OpenAI and Microsoft have denied those claims, saying their actions fall under “fair use.”)"</p><p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/business/media/disney-universal-midjourney-ai.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nytimes.com/2025/06/11/busines</span><span class="invisible">s/media/disney-universal-midjourney-ai.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GeneratedImages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GeneratedImages</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Universal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Universal</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Disney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Disney</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/MidJourney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MidJourney</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Copyright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Copyright</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/IP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IP</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Plagiarism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Plagiarism</span></a></p>
Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"There are a number of diffusion models out there, but I have tended to use Midjourney, which has been around longer than many other AI tools. Using Midjourney allows us to see how diffusion models have developed over time, as you can see with the simple prompt “otter on a plane using wifi” (for every image and video in this post, I pick the best out of the first four images generated). We go from melted fur at the start of 2022 to a visible otter (with too many fingers and a weird keyboard) at the end of that year. In 2023, we get a photorealistic otter, but still a weird keyboard and plane windows. In 2024, the lighting and positioning become better, and by 2025 we have excellent photorealism.</p><p>But what makes diffusion models interesting is not their increasing ability to make photorealistic images, but rather the fact that they can create images in various styles. This cuts to the heart of why AI image generation is so controversial, as many AI models are trained on images from throughout the web, including copyrighted work, and can thus replicate images in the style of living artists without their permission or compensation."</p><p><a href="https://www.oneusefulthing.org/p/the-recent-history-of-ai-in-32-otters?utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">oneusefulthing.org/p/the-recen</span><span class="invisible">t-history-of-ai-in-32-otters?utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AU</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GeneratedImages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GeneratedImages</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DiffusionModels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DiffusionModels</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/OpenWeight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenWeight</span></a></p>
Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"The environmental shadow cast by my digital life is already egregious, and I would need a good reason—pleasure would be sufficient—to engage with a technology that is not only making the physical world worse but is also decidedly optional. (Want to see what your dog would look like as a human? You actually have an imagination for that!) A.I. is frankly gross to me: it launders bias into neutrality; it hallucinates; it can become “poisoned with its own projection of reality.” The more frequently people use ChatGPT, the lonelier, and the more dependent on it, they become. A recent system update made the chatbot so sycophantic that, if a user told it he’d stopped taking his medications and abandoned his family because they were broadcasting suspicious radio signals, ChatGPT would respond with fawning praise for the person’s journey of courageously pursuing his truth. Earlier this week, Mark Zuckerberg suggested, on a podcast, that the average person has only three friends but “has demand” for fifteen, and that A.I. could help. ChatGPT will reify the problems that it purports to solve, and thus make itself essential: encouraging users to rely less and less on inner resources and personal capacity at a time when most of us are already losing the equipment—our will, our instincts, our sense of purchase—with which we handle the task of being alive."</p><p><a href="https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-weekend-essay/my-brain-finally-broke" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">newyorker.com/culture/the-week</span><span class="invisible">end-essay/my-brain-finally-broke</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GeneratedImages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GeneratedImages</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/ChatGPT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChatGPT</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Chatbots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Chatbots</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>I think Brian Eno's opinion expresses in the best possible way my own opinion regarding AI - all of the text is top-notch: </p><p>"The drive for more profits (or increasing “market share,” which is the same thing) produces many distortions. It means, for example, that a product must be brought to market as fast as possible, even if that means cutting corners in terms of understanding social impacts; it means social value and security are secondary by a long margin. The result is a Hollywood shootout fantasy, except it’s a fantasy we have to live in.</p><p>AI today inverts the value of the creative process. The magic of play is seeing the commonplace transforming into the meaningful. For that transformation to take place we need to be aware of the provenance of the commonplace. We need to sense the humble beginnings before we can be awed by what they turn into—the greatest achievement of creative imagination is the self-discovery that begins in the ordinary and can connect us to the other, and to others.</p><p>Yet AI is part of the wave of technologies that are making it easier for people to live their lives in complete independence from each other, and even from their own inner lives and self-interest. The issue of provenance is critically important in the creative process, but not for AI today. Where something came from, and how and why it came into existence, are major parts of our feelings about it."</p><p><a href="https://www.bostonreview.net/forum_response/ais-walking-dog/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">bostonreview.net/forum_respons</span><span class="invisible">e/ais-walking-dog/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Creativity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Creativity</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GeneratedImages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GeneratedImages</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>I'm not sure this kind of tools are legal in the European Union... </p><p>"Fast-forward to today, and millions of artists have deployed two tools born from that Zoom: Glaze and Nightshade, which were developed by Zhao and the University of Chicago’s SAND Lab (an acronym for “security, algorithms, networking, and data”).</p><p>Arguably the most prominent weapons in an artist’s arsenal against nonconsensual AI scraping, Glaze and Nightshade work in similar ways: by adding what the researchers call “barely perceptible” perturbations to an image’s pixels so that machine-learning models cannot read them properly. Glaze, which has been downloaded more than 6 million times since it launched in March 2023, adds what’s effectively a secret cloak to images that prevents AI algorithms from picking up on and copying an artist’s style. Nightshade, which I wrote about when it was released almost exactly a year ago this fall, cranks up the offensive against AI companies by adding an invisible layer of poison to images, which can break AI models; it has been downloaded more than 1.6 million times. </p><p>Thanks to the tools, “I’m able to post my work online,” Ortiz says, “and that’s pretty huge.” For artists like her, being seen online is crucial to getting more work. If they are uncomfortable about ending up in a massive for-profit AI model without compensation, the only option is to delete their work from the internet.
