We recorded this immediately after publishing some breaking news: we discovered that venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) is funding Civitai, an AI marketplace we've repeatedly shown is an engine for nonconsensual AI porn. Just this week Emanuel reported Civitai had introduced a "bounty" system, that financially rewards people for making AI-models of specific targets. We talk about both stories in the first section of the podcast. Then after the break of this episode of "The Emanuel Maiberg Show," Emanuel talks about his deep investigation into working conditions in Labcorp, one of the biggest lab companies in the country, and how Amazon-like metrics may put patients at risk. Then in the subscribers-only section, Emanuel and Jason discuss their article on how the "brand safety" industry is stopping news websites from receiving vital funding.Giant AI Platform Introduces ‘Bounties’ for Deepfakes of Real PeopleAndreessen Horowitz Invests in Civitai, Which Profits From Nonconsensual AI Porn‘Literally Impossible:’ Labcorp Workers Say Productivity Goals Are Pushing Them to the BrinkAdvertisers Don’t Want Sites Like Jezebel to ExistSubscribe at 404media.co for this podcast's bonus content.
