AI Daily Brief: Hollywood AI Gigs, OpenAI Backs CA Safety Bill (8/23)
Audio in Mandarin Chinese · English transcript below
⚡ OpenAI backs CA AI bill; study: few frontier labs plan to curb malicious models.
The AI industry is systematically dismantling human knowledge creation into fuel for models.

Taken together, the technological drive to consolidate and exploit content, and the supply side's fragmentation and consumption of original creative labor, form a dangerous paradox.
