Congress Just Rushed Through a Disastrous Copyright Office Overhaul
The world’s first trillionaire is a killer.
“A year ago, Musk’s actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He did it knowingly. And, worse — gleefully.”
ACTION ALERT
Tell Congress to Just Say No to NO FAKES
Another Censorship Tool, Ignoring Real Privacy Harms from AI Replicas
Hi Digital Rights Supporter,
This week, the Senate is taking a major step towards passing the Nurture Originals, Foster Art, and Keep Entertainment Safe Act (NO FAKES). Instead of targeting the real privacy harms posed by AI-generated replicas, this law would create another layer of internet censorship on top of the already existing legal and voluntary takedown systems. Congress should reject NO FAKES.
NO FAKES also makes it trivially easy for protected speech to be censored. It is a supercharged version of the already flawed copyright takedown regime. It lacks meaningful redress for takedowns issued against lawful expression, and doesn’t even rely on something being a copy of a specific work like in cases of copyright. It would require websites to have filters searching for anything that might look like someone that might be AI-generated. That invites over-blocking of content by risk-averse platforms. Even though the latest version of this bill adds some forms of redress for bad faith takedowns, those provisions lack the teeth required to deter a malicious actor.
The right way to protect abuse of AI-generated replicas is with a focus on privacy harms, not a new, easily bargained away, property right. Tell Congress to say no to NO FAKES.
Yours,
Katharine Trendacosta

I’ve been through soooo many personality, intelligence, and behaviour tests as part of my childhood, therapy, and executive roles. I’ve always found them helpful for introspection and self-understanding. That said, I hated sharing them with executive teams, research teams, and others.
The Uncomfortable Reason Personality Assessments Are So Popular in Leadership Development
“Warning: This Field Note will make some people very uncomfortable. Leader discretion is advised.
People are naturally curious about who they are and why they do what they do. So, they invest time and energy into learning more about themselves.
Tools, like personality assessments — which offer a quick window into deeper understanding — feed that curiosity and deliver fast insights.”

Copyright and AI – Can the law assimilate the impact of AI?
BLOG. Copyright and AI – Can the law assimilate the impact of AI?
“The laws controlling the use of intellectual property have always had to be developed after those creative works have been produced. Creators have never waited until a just framework was in place to protect and reward their efforts. Copyright acts have been forced to play catch up, adapting themselves to change, both technical and social. Moreover, copyright has always been about what you cannot do. There is nothing enabling about the law.”
