It’s clear that this will be a ‘thing.’ Might be useful to track how it is used.

Team Interpol: Metaverse Police

Interpol this week unveiled what it has called a Metaverse for police around the world while signalling a lawless virtual universe will not be tolerated.

The Interpol Metaverse is "fully operational" and available from the international police force's cloud service, we're told. To us, it seems to be a shared virtual reality space that you connect into using a suitable VR headset. Once in, you can visit a virtual version of the organization's headquarters in Lyon, France; interact with other cops' avatars just as they can interact with yours; and take training courses, such as learning all about forensic investigations.

The police have got themselves a 3D chat room. Well, at least it saves them a trip to France.

Perhaps we need some new definitions. “That image wasn’t exactly/100% copied, but my AI thinks that at least 12.8% was derived from my images.”

These artists found out their work was used to train AI. Now they’re furious

… Hanson, who’s based in McMinnville, Oregon, is one of many professional artists whose work was included in the data set used to train Stable Diffusion, which was released in August by London-based Stability AI. She’s one of several artists interviewed by CNN Business who were unhappy to learn that pictures of their work were used without someone informing them, asking for consent, or paying for their use.
