Blood Trail Doesn't Deter South African Artists Fighting For Elon Against Open AI
Three Generations of South African Artists Pressing Ahead With Open AI Lawsuit
After I presented the probable murder of Suchir Balaji at Chez Nous in Redwood City,, California,, for his whistleblower expose of OpenAI, three generations of South African artists had dinner with me to discuss their artwork, which OpenAI had purloined.
A fellow South African, Elon Musk, says he doesn’t trust what has happened to OpenAI since he founded it with a $100 Million Dollar Endowment.
We believe the only way to reopen Open AI is with a can opener, and that can opener is Court mandated Discovery. There currently is a huge hole in the visual arts not being represented in the Open Ai lawsuits.
But Elon Musk is in litigation already with Open AI and is restricted from pursuing artists rights at this time. But fear not, three brave South African countrymates of Elon Musk are stepping into the breach with Open AI. I met and interviewed them all at my recent presentation of Suchir Balaji’s suspicious death in the heart of Silicon Valley.
I described the injuries to Suchir Balaji in detail, and I was able to give the large audience gathered a review of the existing lawsuits against Open AI. The Ladies of Joburg, my moniker for them, sat at the front table.
Even after I described the preliminary autopsy of Suchir Balaji with blunt force trauma to the head with bleeding for the nose, mouth, and private parts, the Ladies from Joburg seemed intent on protecting their intellectual property being laundered by OpenAI.
The grandmother, mother, and daughter all told me they believed their artwork had been scraped by OpenAI bots, with the mother being the most directly affected.
However, all three women, the grandmother, the mother, and the daughter, did not appear to be motivated by money but rather by protecting artists from theft by OpenAI and Microsoft. The Ladies of Joburg also seemed to be fighting for underrepresented continents like Africa.
While all three women's art was distinctly different in style, they were bound by the commonality and purpose to protect the intellectual property rights of all artists around the world, especially in the visual arts.
I was introduced to a wide variety of styles by the three women in my dinner with them. I believe the mother in the middle generation will take the mantle of pursuing artist rights in the open AI lawsuit.
I will closely follow this lawsuit, in addition to the other three open AI lawsuits along with the murder of Suchir Balaji in the coming weeks.
Three generations of South Africans are the only claimants that have come forward to protect the world’s visual artists.
The three South African ladies responded positively when I asked them if they would be happy for a micro payment royalty scheme so that when source artwork was used for a AI transformation that they original artist would be paid a small stipend income in royalty.
Some trolls have already begun attacking the three South African ladies, spreading rumors one was born in Rhodesia. I checked with the mother, and it is true that she was conceived in Rhodesia, but she was born in South Africa Africa.
You standing in front of the SF Museum of Modern Art reminds me of the work we did on Heinz Berggruen, who donated some of his WW2 art collection there and became the Assistant Director there in 1939. His son, Nicolas Berggruen, is a US-based billionaire investor and philanthropist. Born in Paris, France, 1961 he is a dual German and American and the founder and president of Berggruen Holdings, a private investment company. In 2010 he co-founded the Berggruen Institute, an independent think tank aiming to reshape political and social institutions on governance, economic systems, globalization, geopolitics, and technology. To address these issues, Berggruen invested $100 million, and an additional US$500 million in 2016. (wiki) His friends, of the PayPal mafia, are well represented and the crew were all fingered by the WEF to become Young Global Leaders. They bought a big track to land in the Santa Monica hills to build a university, and it may have been conveniently cleared by the recent fires there. Nicolas and his friends, like Patrick Soon Shiong and Elon, etc. have big investments in the new CGI productions, AI, medical, and tech arenas
