You can’t even make any changes without changing the entire thing 😂

Are the traumatized workers in the room with you? So convenient that things are happening, but they’re invisible, so we have to take your word for it, and we can’t question your motives.

🚨 BREAKING: Brazil’s Attorney General’s Office gave Meta 72 HOURS to remove all AI chatbots that simulate children and engage in sexually charged conversations with users (!). Every single country should be doing the same: The Attorney General's Office is acting following a lawsuit filed by the Brazilian Secretariat of Social Communication, which mentions Meta's leaked document deeming sexually charged conversations with children 'acceptable' (I'm adding my recent newsletter on the topic below). According to Brazil's extrajudicial notice sent to Meta: "Such chatbots have the potential to reach an increasingly wider audience on digital platforms, especially on Meta's social media channels, exponentially increasing the risk of minors coming into contact with sexually suggestive and potentially criminal material. This situation poses a concrete risk to the psychological integrity of children and adolescents, in addition to causing institutional harm and hindering the effective exercise of the right to full protection [for children and adolescents] provided for in Article 227 of the Federal Constitution." The document also states that the type of content generated by the AI chatbots violates Meta's own Community Standards, and that: "The situation does not constitute mere misuse of technology, but rather a concrete and systemic threat to the comprehensive protection of children and adolescents, requiring a swift, coordinated, and effective response from the appropriate agencies, with a view to holding those involved accountable, immediately removing the content, and implementing technological and regulatory barriers to prevent the repetition of these practices." Now, Meta has 72 hours to: a) Make unavailable chatbots that use childish language to propagate sexual content; b) Clarify what measures are being adopted within the scope of Meta AI's use, including those integrated with Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, to ensure that children and adolescents do not access sexual/erotic content. Well done, Brazil. Now, every country's authority should do the same. It's about time to hold AI companies accountable, increase oversight and enforcement efforts, and strengthen AI governance efforts. - 👉 For more context, I'm adding below my recent newsletter article on Meta's leaked report. 👉 Never miss my curations and insights on AI's emerging legal and ethical challenges.

It’s not Guillermo’s fault, they’re being lied to and are in a bubble. They can’t see what we see, they can’t possibly because you’d need to be in it, doing it, living it to understand the true nature between an artist and their medium, the tools they use, which is all AI is… I admire him and his work so much, but I look forward to making him and all the others eat their words in Venice in two weeks. LFG! 🔥🎥 I’m on a mission for us to shut all the haters the f^$k up. - Filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro discusses art and AI at Comic Con: “Personality, knowledge, and emotion are the three things that need to exist [in art] — and I’m sorry, they don’t come from a fucking app.” Guess he thinks the people creating with AI were assimilated and lost all emotion, thoughts, a brain, and any sense of being human when they pressed buttons and made words make images move. 🤦‍♂️🤣 When I see this from people I admire it just makes me dig in even more and do even more to absolutely eviscerate their thinking.

Seth, the concerns over AI are real. But it is here. We must accept that. But this is not what our concern should be. The actors are gone. All they’re doing is extending performances to fit a large screen - completing work Fleming and LeRoy would have if it had been possible.
