"I find my feelings about AI are actually pretty similar to my feelings about blockchains: they do a poor job of much of what people try to do with them, they can't do the things their creators claim they one day might, and many of the things they are well suited to do may not be altogether that beneficial. And while I do think that AI tools are more broadly useful than blockchains, they also come with similarly monstrous costs."

2024 is now grimly underway, and we have our traditional annual statement/threat from Square Enix, promising yet more terrible futures that we do not want. Let's mock and hate Square Enix's horrid plans to exploit A.I. and other tech fads while asking why they're not creaming their jeans about NFTs anymore!

Also ppl aren't gonna like to hear this but afaict the only currently existing legal form that has requisite variety to deal with copyright attribution in the age of AI image generation - *besides "fanfiction's illegal now and the ATF has your IP fucko"* - likely involves blockchain (or some other immutable distributed ledger)

tumblr ate off the last few tags on that last reblog, so to summarize my thoughts here, essentially:

AI with ethically sourced data and low environmental impact designed to help streamline or add to your artistic process without replacing it? yippee!!!!!

(examples: AI vocal synths that rely on paid voice work from a voice provider who was hired specifically for the project, specialized digital brushes that dynamically replicate real-life mediums like watercolor or gouache, etc...)

AI that depends on continuous rampant theft to function? made with the intent of replacing artists or eliminating the need for any amount of technical skill?? AND has widespread environmental impact??? i am legitimately beating you to death with hammers.

(examples: legitimately every single image generation AI i've seen die die die)

How to Ride the Uptrend and Maximize Profits

Capitalizing on a market uptrend can significantly increase your investment returns. Read on for practical tips to navigate market movements and optimize your profits. Start improving your investment strategy today!

How to Predict the Uptrend?

Predicting exactly when the market will experience an uptrend is challenging. Even if experts anticipate an uptrend soon, the exact timing—whether in 2024, 2025, or beyond—remains uncertain. 

The real challenge lies in avoiding premature profit-taking that could cause you to miss out on gains, while also not holding investments too long and risking losses when the market turns.

So, how can we navigate these challenges and maximize our gains during an uptrend? Here are some strategies to consider:

Focus on Your Goals

Monitoring market movements is not sufficient on its own. It’s crucial to establish clear financial goals. Attempting to buy at the absolute lowest and sell at the highest points is an impractical approach since it’s impossible to precisely predict the end of an uptrend. 

Instead, set clear, achievable targets that align with your financial objectives. This approach will guide you in making well-informed decisions rather than chasing market trends.

Use the Four-Year Cycle

The four-year cycle remains a dependable framework for anticipating market movements, even though minor deviations can occur. This cycle can help guide your profit-taking strategy, allowing you to gauge the mid-phase of an uptrend. 

Utilizing a dollar-cost averaging (DCA) approach, particularly from late 2024 to Q3 2025, can be beneficial. DCA involves consistently investing a fixed amount, which mitigates the risk of buying at peak prices manipulated by market whales. For those preferring a safer strategy, DCA can be an effective way to spread investment risk over time.

Stick to Your Strategy

Maintaining a well-defined and disciplined strategy is crucial. This disciplined approach helps you stay focused and avoid making emotional decisions driven by market volatility.

Adhering to your plan, even amidst market fluctuations, is key to successful profit-taking. Regularly reviewing and adjusting your strategy based on your goals and market conditions can also enhance your decision-making process.

Diversify Your Investments

Diversification is a time-tested strategy to manage risk and enhance profit potential. While applying DCA to established assets like Bitcoin, consider diversifying your portfolio by holding presale tokens such as $BUSAI or participating in airdrops. 

Presale tokens are often available at lower prices, offering potential high returns with reduced initial investment. Diversification spreads your risk across various assets, reducing the impact of any single asset’s performance on your overall portfolio.

BUSAI PRESALE CASE STUDY

In today’s crowded presale landscape, distinguishing between genuine opportunities and scams is crucial. For example, the meme AI project BUSAI is gaining significant attention, but don’t let the hype cloud your judgment.

Before diving in, it's vital to thoroughly examine the whitepaper, tokenomics, and the project's backers. If your research checks out, it could be worth considering.

BUSAI stands out with its impressive ecosystem and strategic tokenomics. Its innovative features, such as the interact-and-earn and staking rewards, set it apart from typical meme tokens.

Its tokenomics emphasizing substantial presale, marketing, and liquidity allocations, the project shows strong growth potential. Additionally, BUSAI’s focus on community engagement and cutting-edge technology makes it a distinctive and promising investment in the evolving crypto arena.

By following these guidelines, you can navigate the uptrend effectively and avoid common pitfalls. Stay focused, be disciplined, and make informed decisions to achieve your financial goals.

How Adobe is Shielding Artists from AI Misuse

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/how-adobe-is-shielding-artists-from-ai-misuse/

How Adobe is Shielding Artists from AI Misuse

In recent years, the growing ability of generative AI to create realistic visuals, mimic artistic styles, and produce entirely new forms of expression has redefined how art is made and experienced. While this transformation offers remarkable opportunities for innovation and productivity in the creative sector, it also raises concerns about intellectual property rights and the potential misuse of artistic works. A recent study found that 56% of creators believe generative AI poses a threat to them, primarily due to the unauthorized use of their work in training datasets. Recognizing this challenges, Adobe—an American software company known for its multimedia and creativity software products—is taking proactive measures to protect artists from AI misuse. In this article, we’ll explore how Adobe is empowering artists to safeguard their intellectual property in the face of evolving AI threats.

The Rise of AI in Creative Industries

Artificial intelligence is transforming the creative industries, reshaping how we create, edit, and engage with content. From generating music and designing graphics to writing scripts and building entire virtual worlds, AI-driven tools are evolving at a rapid pace. However, as AI’s capabilities expand, so do the challenges it presents—particularly for artists. Models like DALL-E and Midjourney can replicate famous styles or mimic artwork with impressive accuracy, often using publicly available images without consent. This raises serious legal and ethical concerns about copyright and artistic integrity. For many creators, the fear is that AI will learn from their copyrighted work and produce something similar, potentially diminishing the value of their art. The lack of clear legal frameworks for AI-generated content further complicates the issue, leaving the creative community vulnerable. To address these concerns, Adobe is taking proactive measures to develop technologies that can protect artists from the potential misuse of AI.

Adobe’s Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI)

One of Adobe’s most impactful efforts in protecting artists is its Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI). Launched in 2019, the CAI is a collaborative, open-source initiative that aims to provide creators with tools to verify the authenticity of their digital content. By embedding metadata into images and other digital files, Adobe enables artists to assert ownership and trace the origin of their work. This “digital fingerprint” not only ensures that creators are credited but also helps identify when and where their work has been altered or misused.

In addition to protecting copyrights, the CAI addresses the broader issue of content manipulation, which has become increasingly concerned with the rise of deepfakes and AI-generated images that distort reality. By enabling users to verify the provenance and authenticity of digital content, the CAI protects both artists and the public from deceptive or harmful uses of AI technology.

 Adobe Firefly

In early 2023, Adobe launched Firefly, an AI-powered collection of creative tools designed to generate images, videos, and text effects using generative AI. One of the key features of Firefly is its underlying data model. Adobe has ensured that Firefly is trained entirely on legally sourced content, including Adobe Stock and publicly licensed or copyright-free images. By building a dataset that respects intellectual property, Adobe aims to mitigate the ethical concerns artists have expressed about their work being scraped from the web and used without their consent.

Additionally, Adobe has implemented licensing mechanisms within Firefly that empower artists to be part of the AI training process on their own terms. Artists can choose to license their work for use in Firefly’s dataset and are compensated if their work is used to train AI models or generate content. This not only ensures fair treatment but also creates a revenue stream for artists who wish to contribute to the AI revolution without compromising their rights.

Adobe’s Licensing Solutions

In addition to protecting the integrity of artistic work, Adobe has also focused on ensuring fair compensation for creators who contribute to the datasets used by AI models. Through Adobe Stock, artists can license their work to be used in various applications, including AI-generated art. Adobe’s compensation model allows artists to benefit from the growing use of AI in the creative sector, rather than being left behind or exploited.

By enabling proper licensing for stock content used in generative AI models, Adobe offers a sustainable way for artists to participate in the future of AI-powered creativity. This is especially important in an era where digital content is increasingly driven by machine learning algorithms. Adobe’s licensing solutions help bridge the gap between AI innovation and artist protection, ensuring that creators are rewarded for their contributions to these advanced technologies.

Protecting Artists in the Era of NFTs

Another area where Adobe is protecting artists from AI misuse is in the escalating field of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). As digital art becomes increasingly valuable in the NFT marketplace, artists face new risks from AI-driven art theft. Unauthorized copies of their work could be minted as NFTs without their knowledge or consent, undermining the ownership and value of their creations.

To combat this, Adobe has integrated CAI technology with leading NFT platforms like Rarible and KnownOrigin. By embedding CAI metadata into NFT art, Adobe allows artists to prove the originality and ownership of their digital work on the blockchain. This helps artists maintain control over their creations in the fast-moving NFT field, where authenticity is the key.

Furthermore, Adobe’s authentication tools are being expanded to include NFTs generated by AI. By binding AI-generated art to the same CAI standards, Adobe ensures that artists can trace and control how their work is used, even when it becomes part of an AI-generated output.

Adobe’s New Tool for Content Authenticity

Adobe recently unveiled a new web app set to launch in early 2025, designed to help creators protect their work from misuse by AI. This app is part of Adobe’s enhanced Content Credentials system, enabling artists to easily add their information—such as name, website, and social media links—directly to their digital creations, including images, videos, and audio.

A key feature of the app is the option for users to opt out of having their work used to train AI models. This directly addresses the growing concerns among artists about their creations being utilized without permission in generative AI datasets. The app also simplifies the tedious process of submitting requests to various AI providers.

Additionally, the app integrates with Adobe’s well-known platforms like Photoshop and Firefly, while also supporting content created with non-Adobe tools. Users can embed tamper-evident metadata, ensuring their work remains protected, even if it’s altered or screenshot.

 The Bottom Line

Adobe’s efforts to shield artists from AI misuse demonstrate a forward-thinking approach to an urgent issue in the creative world. With initiatives like the Content Authenticity Initiative, the ethical training models of Firefly, and licensing solutions such as Adobe Stock along with the new content authenticity web tool, Adobe is laying the groundwork for a future where AI serves as a tool for creators rather than a threat to their creativity. As the distinction between AI-generated and human-made art becomes increasingly unclear, Adobe’s dedication to transparency, fairness, and empowering artists plays a crucial role in keeping creativity firmly in the hands of creators.
