Great scoop by @annaknicolaou and @madhumita29 and nice to see the music labels trying to get ahead of genAI - but it wont mean anything until they come up with terms that are musician-friendly

Great scoop by @madhumita29 @tim @Tabby_Kinder It's a year to the day since Musk made his offer for Twitter, he's been otherwise engaged while AI had its breakout year. No wonder he wants OpenAI to slow down for 6 months

Looking forward to this conversation at the top of the hour. Though predicting what Musk will do next is a bit of a challenge.

Once again @EmilyBender does an invaluable service deconstructing how we journalists overhype AI. I live in terror she'll take apart one of my pieces one day

I find this reporting infuriating, so I'm going to use it to create a mini-lesson in detecting #AIhype. If you're interested in following this lesson, please read the article, making note of what you think sounds exciting and what makes you skeptical. nytimes.com/2022/04/05/tec…
