@kirbyman01 ... Any word on how much of the $500M will go to the creatives whose work ElevenLabs trains its models on?

A few months ago I was curious to know how much Anna's Archive was charging AI developers for access to their massive library of pirated works for training - so I emailed them saying I was interested in buying access. Here is their reply. They are charging $200,000 (payable via [image]

I had pretty much lost faith in the UK government's ability to regulate AI fairly, after they proposed handing creatives' work to AI companies for free.  But there are new ministers working on tech & AI, and their response to the Grok debacle has been superb.  Increasingly hopeful that it is a sign these new ministers will be less subservient to US big tech, and will actually stand up for the British people.

I want to address Mat's argument here, because it's an argument among AI types that is so common and yet so misleading. Mat argues that Suno shouldn't be required to license the music they train on, because an equal split of their $250M investment would assign $12.50 to each

Warner Music and AI music generator Suno strike a deal, settling previous litigation; Suno will launch licensed AI models and will acquire WMG's Songkick

Warner Music Group and AI music generator Suno have struck what they call a “first-of-its-kind partnership”.

As @daviddas pointed out to me, this means that 2.5 billion-dollar AI music company Suno has spent less money on music than many individual music fans

Also apparently in the pitch deck: - Users are mostly male, age 25-34 - Suno plans to be a $500 billion company - 25% of subscribers remain after 30 days - The company's vision hinges on “reducing the number of users who leave the service after joining” according to Billboard
