I won. I won my appeal.

The Luxembourg court has ruled that Jeff Dieschburg infringed upon my copyright when he used my work without consent.

Using a different medium was irrelevant. My work being 'available online' was irrelevant. Consent was necessary. 1/ Image
This win means a lot—not just for me but also for artists & photographers everywhere.

It’s a reminder that copyright protects individuals from those that try to profit off our work without consent.

It reaffirms that our work being online doesn't mean we give up our rights. 3/
For 2 years I’ve been harassed for fighting this because of my gender, my race, my being a photographer.

My home address was doxxed, I was told they'd put me in jail, that I’d kill myself soon. I lost out on work cuz of how it ate away at me. But I didn't want to give up. 4/

8 years ago, Google Deepmind created AlphaGo—an AI that defeated the best human Go player in the world & it shaped how I see art & AI.

In a new interview, Lee Sedol says he wouldn't become a pro again if he had known of AI today. This is heartbreaking— 1/ blog.google/around-the-glo…

Go has always been the most beautiful game to me. The sound of a stone on board, the simplicity of its rules and design. A person's playstyle is an expression of themselves—like seeing an artist's style in a painting—it's personal and meaningful. 2/ Image
Today, no human player has a chance of defeating any of the top AI Go programs. AI is used religiously in professional training, and like it or not, our relationship with Go as an art form has been changed forever. 3/

Words can't describe how dehumanizing it is to see my name used 20,000+ times in MidJourney. My life's work and who I am—reduced to meaningless fodder for a commercial image slot machine.
Image
My art is who I am. It’s dehumanizing to have it fed into machines where my background, history, & why I create lose all meaning.

And because I don’t want to see gen AI work made w stolen content, I built a platform to filter out gen AI images. What’s wrong with that??

@TheGlazeProject is from @UChicago and is free. @Cara_HQ is made by volunteers, also free.

We integrated Glaze into Cara cuz I wanted auto glaze, so that more people can protect their images, more easily.

What’s the grift here? Artists protecting our work from being stolen?

15,600+ people have been laid off in tech so far, in January 2024.

If you see an artist-hating person making the inevitable “learn to code” comment, you can tell them to fuck off.

A short thread on layoffs: 1/
Image
Image
In a survey of 900 business leaders who were asked about layoffs in 2024, 38% said it’s likely at their companies.

4 out of 10 said using AI is part of the reason: 2/ resumebuilder.com/4-in-10-compan…

A friend’s tech startup has 5 open roles. In the first week of January, they had over 20,000 applicants.

If that’s the case at a small startup, how does it look at bigger companies? More layoffs are estimated to happen throughout 2024. 3/

As someone who knows what it means to be talented, let me tell you a story:

I was born in the Beijing shooting range, grew up with Olympians, and picked up air rifle after moving to Singapore. Within a few months, I hit the Olympic finals cutoff with no full-time training. 1/
I was called a prodigy, an Olympic medal was expected. And you know what I did with that talent? I didn't win an Olympic gold.

Didn't even make the team.

I got some PTSD, tried to kill myself, & left the sport after 6 years. 2/
I was surrounded by people who weren't born with talent. Yet they won Olympic medals, I didn't.

Even without this so called talent like mine, they practiced, worked hard, and survived till the finishing line. 3/

Junior portfolios at top studios can fit right in next to your art heroes in a book, or look so bad (subjective) you don’t know why they were hired.

This is because social media inflates good illustration as the goalpost, and for a concept role, that is often the wrong goal. 1/
Good design is what will land you the job. Not godly rendering, and certainly not the average of regurgitated designs from Cyberpunk, Alien, or Final Fantasy.

For concept art, people want to see thoughtful research with execution. 2/
Want to design a dress?

Do: art museums, history books, pics of clothing on real bodies & runway + unexpected elements

Don’t: moodboard of only video games/film screenshots

Regurgitating diluted design is obvious, & ADs can sniff out boring designers a mile away. 3/
