“It’s already getting more difficult for university students to get jobs…”

Don't we all care about the threats @protectdid.bsky.social is trying to save us from? ⚠️ THEFT from creators ⚠️ DEEPFAKES that destroy truth ⚠️ JOB LOSS across sectors ⚠️ EXISTENTIAL threats to what makes us human. Deadline approaching. PLEASE DONATE WHAT YOU CAN. Even a few dollars help.

⚠️⚠️⚠️

Humans are building their own destruction machine. Leaving it unregulated would be the final absurdity.

Actor Natasha Lyonne may not come from the tech world, but her production company is emerging as a trailblazer in bringing AI content to the big screen—and she has thoughts about the tech’s increasing influence.

▶️There are two covers this year - one a piece of art depicting the letters AI surrounded by workers, and another a painting focused on the tech leaders themselves. ▶️Big tech firms are pouring billions of dollars into AI and the infrastructure behind it in a bid to stay ahead of rivals.

Gov. Kathy Hochul on Thursday signed two bills backed by SAG-AFTRA that will regulate the use of “synthetic” AI performers in New York. #SAGAFTRA #AIethics

@governor.ca.gov @govpressoffice.gov.ca.gov The new Executive Order blocking state AI laws is a direct violation of California’s authority to protect innovation, privacy, and jobs. Please take action and file suit to defend our state’s right to regulate AI responsibly. #CA #AISafety #StatesRights

Your Voices Matter!! Over 160 people lined the standing room only hearing room at Stanford on Monday, Dec. 8th 2025. Creatives won the day! The point was made loud and clear that creatives are losing jobs daily and must be compensated fairly. #caab412 #march2testify #nofakesact #ab412

Happening right now at Stanford! Thank you John, for the article in your amazing newspaper/blog Crooks and Liars! @crooksandliars.bsky.social #JohnAmato crooksandliars.com/2025/12/ca-a...

Larry Ellison, the world’s 2nd-richest man, predicts an AI surveillance state where “we’re constantly recording & reporting everything.” Are we headed toward a future where every call, text, email & search is tracked by billionaires? That's not democracy. It's authoritarianism.

Thrilled to be there with you all! The energy was real and very palpable. 🙏

“Hundreds of actors, writers, musicians and digital artists packed Paul Brest Hall in Palo Alto for what organizers described as the largest public mobilization yet for AI regulation.” #March2Testify #CAAB412 #AB412

A good hearing. I hope today pace of response matches the pace of AI development

The bigger issue is that the Dumpster wants to keep states from regulating AI. And that would leave it to him.

OpenAI counsel Mark Gray emphasized cooperation between studios and his firm, but Jason George contrasted the difference between creatives and companies and suggested OpenAI reach out to unions.

Animation Guild president and storyboard artist Danny Lin said she believes she has lost work to AI and knows of studios cutting back on human talent. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

SAG-AFTRA board member and Actor Jason George (Dr Ben Warren on Gray's Anatomy) spoke about actors' and musicians' concerns, noting that the top country song, 'Walk my Walk' is AI generated with similar stylings to Blanco Brown and an avatar like Ben Affleck. Brown, who is black, was told.....

🧵A joint hearing by the Judiciary Committee of the CA Senate & Consumer/privacy protection of the Assembly was held today at Stanford to balance concerns of creative artists with the economic engineering of AI. The room overflowed. Real issue? This President & Congress won't regulate AI.
