Q1 2023 filings for publicly traded #creatoreconomy companies leave me with one takeaway: ad revenues continue to decrease across numerous companies as advertiser spend is clearly slowing down.

But, that’s not all I cover in this week’s issue!

linkedin.com/pulse/ad-decli…
YouTube - 2.6% drop YoY in ad sales

Meta - 17% YoY drop in average price per ad, but they served more ads (26% more YoY)

Roku Inc. - 1% drop YoY in revenues
Both Roku and Spotify refer to the "macro" environment, with Roku explicitly pointing to industry data that shows "the total U.S. advertising market down 7.4% YoY."

It will be interesting to see how this expands into all areas of the creator economy.

🚨 Stability AI, Midjourney, and DeviantArt, Inc. have all filed their motions to dismiss the Anderson class action lawsuit 🚨

It's a lot to unpack, but here are some of my initial takeaways 🧵

#copyright #ArtificialIntelligence #GenerativeAI ImageImageImage
🔥 Registered Copyrights.

The parties seek to narrow the lawsuit to just copyrighted works that have been registered, which might remove Ortiz and McKernan as plaintiffs.
It's established that to bring a copyright infringement claim in federal court, a copyright owner must first register their work with the U.S. Copyright Office and obtain the completed registration.

It’s OFFICIAL🚨

@CopyrightOffice will NOT allow registration of AI-generated images as part of larger graphic novel registration

The generative works were not properly disclaimed, therefore the USCO is reissuing a certificate to fix + limit the OG registration.

#copyright #AI
“We conclude that Ms. Kashtanova is the author of the Work’s text as well as the selection, coordination, and arrangement of the Work’s written and visual elements. That authorship is protected by copyright. […]
“However, as discussed below, the images in the Work that were generated by the Midjourney technology are not the product of human authorship.”

🚨 A new class action was filed against @StabilityAI (#StableDiffusion), @midjourney_ai, & @DeviantArt (#DreamUp) on behalf of artists whose works were used to train AI/ML algorithms. 🔥

Here's a breakdown... 🧵

#copyright #ai #ml #artificialintelligence #DMCA #Midjourney
The named artists bringing the class action included references to haveibeentrained.com as proof that their works were used for the Stable Diffusion and Midjourney tools.

The complaint dives into how each company developed its specific tool & then offered them to the public.
The complaint dives deep into the details of how Stable Diffusion works. It also highlights how Stability paid LAION ("Large-Scale Artificial Intelligence Open Network") to put together LAION-5B, a dataset of 5.85 billion images.
