Dear friends of the #unprotected, 🦞

As we may know all bad things, in fact all things come to an end.
#Yin suddenly to #yang and around to a cycle of #Great Yin. Even more #strangely; One #cycle #informs the #extremities of the #Next. In other words:

- let the heads
#roll, like the good times
- be kinder than the
#Middle Way #Buddha
- we are the recycling
♻️

How this works out, is up to those over the cutting edge. The
#silent #well of good people, doing even #better under #flourishing #infrastructure. Yes we are the #co-operative #federation of like, #likeness. We are not the enema but the other end of the canal. Or as they say in the marine core of apples, Johnny #Appleseed and the #music of the #ageless:

- Thin
- Go froth and
#multiply
- Caesar the
#dazed

Talking of great Days. Have One an' All, You here?
❤️

Actors: If you’re an American or have American friends/colleagues and family, encourage them (and I encourage you) to contact your representative and both your senators and tell them your needs in regards to the No Fakes Act:

I've started producing some core concept videos on Plutarch's short text On Having Many Friends. Here's the first in the series, looking at what we can glean about genuine friendship and what it involves

Invariably, at this point, I start messing things up, and the project begins to collapse upon itself. The important thing is to give it a try. #mastoart #likeness #zbrush

The fate of everyone who works in film and TV production hangs in the balance.

Screenshot of a tweet by Jeff Strike Cap Torres @iamJeffTorres:

FYI if actors don't get strict Ai  protections for this contract 90% of film industry jobs will be lost. Crafty,  gaffers, grips, makeup, set deco? 
Gone. Digital sets, no jobs. We are  fighting for the future of this industry  and ALL our jobs. We will not be  "taking a deal".

To pull a Zaslav: to show up day after day and make things worse.

Context: “The language currently in the AMPTP’s offer would see the studios and streamers secure the right to use scans of deceased performers without the consent of their estate or SAG-AFTRA.”

Not great: "whether the actors who participated knew it or not, for as little as $300, they appear to have authorized Realeyes, Meta, and other parties of the two companies’ choosing to access and use not just their faces but also their expressions, and anything derived from them, almost however and whenever they want—as long as they do not reproduce any individual likenesses."

I’m currently working on an #article that offers a new interpretation for the underlying logic behind the magnificent #FourteenthCentury wall #paintings found in Longthorpe Tower nr Peterborough. Among them the magnificent crowned figure who appears to command the wheel of the five senses. This morning I looked into my #coffee. Can you see what I can see? The likeness is, in my view, indisputable! But what does it signify? #Medieval #Uncanny #Likeness

The crowned figure found in the murals. Bearded male looking right. Faded pigment means it now appears in shades of brown and cream.Cream froth on morning coffee forming an outline that bares an uncanny resemblance to the crowned figure.

I recently created a LoRA trained with my own likeness, but it came out wonky so I got to try again. But, cyberpunk image came out cool.

In Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics, scotus unanimously decided that human DNA cannot be patented.

This is part of why meaningful frameworks around AI must be included in the contracts themselves.
