Protests against OpenAI get increasingly creative

Bay Area artists created a Titanic-themed protest work against OpenAI, emphasizing the value of handcrafted, time-intensive art and arguing that shortcuts to selling work conflict with algorithmically generated art. The report also notes OpenAI has faced frequent protests recently: its New York office had a demonstration last week; on Monday GPT-6.1 Astra training was halted over safety concerns, the company apologized for unauthorized access to an Australian government website, and Florida asked a court to stop its development, calling it an unacceptably high-risk product.
