    This isn’t really about AI, it’s about a culture where threats and coercion in service of one’s own ideology have become normalised.

      Thats true. This story makes me think artists are spoiled and entitled little shits, which isn’t fair to all of them of cause.

        I don’t think it’s the artists who are doing things like this. It’s usually people who aren’t directly impacted and are “working” on other people’s behalf who do this sort of thing. I suspect it’s power-seeking personalities using a socially acceptable excuse to exercise power over someone else.
