Fables For The Modern Warrior

The brave seekers of life's true calling who dare to follow their pursuit of passion with relentless and often exhausting persistence, we see you.

The time you sacrifice for the path you are following will be worthwhile.

Today, I want to take you on a journey of persistence and offer some tips and ideas along the way.

Content asks you, the reader, to engage with it. I want content always to have value; never take more than you give.

Sometimes, a little levity in the form of a story is a pleasant reprieve and a useful teaching tool.

Alice, Order of Maps

Stitched together by constellations and boundless wonder, a secret society, the Cartographers of the Infinite. They are tasked not with mapping the physical world but with the unseen threads that connect everything: hope, knowledge, and dreams. Alice, the youngest Cartographer, is at the center of this story and entrusted with a powerful artifact—harmony, the very order in balance.

The tool in the "Try a New Tool" segment was used to create ideas for a story about the image I uploaded, which is the header image of this article. Try these tips and ideas for exploring your art beyond the canvas, page or stage.

AI Safety Bites

AI & Nuclear Arms Integration

OpenAI is collaborating with the U.S. National Laboratories to integrate its latest AI models into nuclear security efforts, aiming to reduce the risk of nuclear conflict and protect sensitive materials. OpenAI’s models have previously leaked private data or generated dubious claims. When discussing nuclear security, there has never been room for error. The new U.S. administration has obliterated the guardrails, and AI integration is full steam ahead. Alongside its government-focused platform, ChatGPT Gov, OpenAI is also weighing a possible investment round that could value the company at around $340 billion.

Key Points:

  • Partnership Details: Up to 15,000 scientists at the US National Laboratories will gain access to OpenAI's latest AI models to enhance nuclear security efforts.
  • Concerns: Critics worry about the potential risks of using flawed AI models in such a critical area, especially given past issues with data leaks and false claims.
  • Government Integration: OpenAI has been expanding its government collaborations, recently launching ChatGPT Gov, a secure platform designed for US government use.
  • Funding and Valuation: OpenAI is reportedly in talks for a new funding round that could value the company at $340 billion, double its previous valuation.

AI Creative Applications

AI and Copyright Law: A New Frontier

As AI continues to revolutionize creative fields, the legal framework is struggling to keep up. Review the latest from the US Copyright Office with this podcast mini episode and summary. We are keeping our eyes on the creative AI space and distilling what you need to know here. The main takeaway is to document EVERYTHING when using AI as your creative assistant.

Key Points: - Human Authorship Required: Copyright law protects human-created and original works, making it difficult for AI outputs to qualify. A notable case involved a graphic novel with AI-generated images that was copyrighted because the human author arranged the images uniquely to tell a story. This precedent suggests that human control and intention are crucial. -

Documentation is Key: Creators must document prompts, edits, and choices to prove authorship, especially as AI tools become more sophisticated. This documentation serves as a paper trail to demonstrate the human touch in AI-generated works. -

Style and Copyright: The Copyright Office clarifies that artistic style itself is not copyrightable. However, using someone’s work to train AI could constitute infringement. Additional protections are available under the FTC and Lanham Act, which address unfair competition and false advertising.

Arguments For and Against AI Copyright: Opponents worry about the market being flooded with low-quality content, devaluing human creativity. Proponents argue that AI copyright would encourage innovation and recognize human-AI collaboration.
