8 February 2025 Cancel the Christie's AI Art Auction Nicole Sales Giles & Sebastian Sanchez Christieโs, New York Dear Nicole and Sebastian, We are writing to express serious concern over your upcoming auction of AI art at Christieโs. Many of the artworks you plan to auction were created using AI models that are known to be trained on copyrighted work without a license. These models, and the companies behind them, exploit human artists, using their work without permission or payment to build commercial AI products that compete with them. Your support of these models, and the people who use them, rewards and further incentivizes AI companiesโ mass theft of human artistsโ work. We ask that, if you have any respect for human artists, you cancel the auction. Yours sincerely, The undersigned artists
๐ดCALLING ALL ARTISTS๐ด
Christie's NYC is planning an AI art auction expected to bring in over $600,000 to creators who've used models trained on copyrighted material from non-consenting artists.
If you object to this, please sign and share this open letter.

list of banned keywords
๐จBREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

As a cause near and dear to my heart as someone who is training to be a librarian, there is a school librarian who was given NO budget by her district for her kids to have books this year. Consider donating a book from her wishlist. The cheapest on there are just a little over $3.00!

A sepia-filtered digital portrait sketch of ShaniceTJN's OC -- Azrael. He has a quiff with the tips highlighted in a lighter colour and he is sporting a neatly trimmed beard. His right eye is blue and slightly glowing while his left eye is blind. Azrael is looking intently to his right.

A sculpture of an anthropomorphic black rabbit with red eyes, human arms and torso, and an elongated lean body. He is wearing a loincloth and a necklace that is a rabbit skull. The anthropomorphic rabbit is holding a much smaller rabbit by the scruff of the neck with one of his enormous hands. His profile faces to the right, while the smaller rabbit appears to be either looking out at the viewer, or may be dead.
Diorama sculpture that includes the same anthropomorphic black rabbit presenting the smaller rabbit to five other medium sized rabbits who surround the large rabbit. They also have red eyes and black fur. A gray, dead, bare, scraggly tree grows on the rocks that all of the rabbits gather on.
Detail view of the large rabbit presenting the small rabbit to the medium rabbits.
Detail view of the scraggly tree, which is painted in grays, browns and blacks. It is worn and pale, like a tree long dead and smoothed by the elements and time.
I first sculpted the Black Rabbit back in 2008. A few years later, the collector who bought it paid me to make a diorama for him, so I made a scene where Fiver has a vision of Hazel, Bigwig, and the other rabbits of WD reuinted in Inlรฉ as the Black Rabbitโs Owsla. Sculpey Firm. #art #sculpture

Day 18!โUnfortunately, those are no longer options for me.โ There was something heavy and final about the way he said all that, something which told Michelle there was a story behind those words but not one he was willing to share with her.

Day 17! He staggered and turned to the side as blood spurted out around the injury, looking almost more surprised at the sudden betrayal from Anton than he was at being dealt a fatal blow. Anton reached and pulled the knife out.
