you said loneliness is an epidemic.
Rick Smolin, the creator of the best-selling 'Day in the Life' book series, expressed concern about the impact of AI on the value of photographers' work. He compared the situation to a marriage where one partner is having an affair with a younger person, suggesting that AI could eventually replace photographers.

Rick Smolin, the creator of the best-selling 'Day in the Life' book series, expressed concern about the impact of AI on the value of photographers' work. He compared the situation to a marriage where one partner is having an affair with a younger person, suggesting that AI could eventually replace photographers.
Like many of my peers my photographs are sold around the globe by Getty Images and we've always considered our relationship with Getty as you know symbiotic. You know we photographers risk life and limb to provide Getty with our images and in return Getty markets our photographs to buyers. But with the advent of AI it's sort of starting to feel a little bit like a marriage where one partner in the relationship is caught having an affair with a much younger more attractive person while assuring their spouse this is nothing more than a dalliance.
You know we assume that our images are being sampled to generate the synthetic images that Getty is now selling. And many of us are very concerned that our work has become a commodity like coal being shoveled into Getty's LLM engine.
And also sort of like the cheated upon older spouse many of us believe it's only a matter of time before we're cast aside for this much younger and much sexier young thing called AI.
So my question to Craig Peters is whether this marriage is over but you just haven't admitted to us yet and you haven't told us or if it's not over how does Getty Images envision its relationship with actual photographers versus prompt jockeys and how is Getty going to compensate us your long-term partners fairly for our images in the future?

Mike, your book, The Latino Century, it came out last week. You talk about even though you did your best to ring the alarm, Trump ended up winning a third of the Latino vote in 2020 despite being pretty openly racist towards Latinos.

A Memoir of Blindness and Justice
The book was described as a wonderful memoir, talking about the author's long career in law and on the bench, and covering the Internet and FCC net neutrality cases in which he presided. It was mentioned that the author differentiated between what he would do as a policymaker versus what he had to do as a judge.

I say in my book, and I've always thought this is true, and I suspect Judge Gertner would say exactly the same thing.
One of the hardest things to do as a judge, and I think the sign of a judge, is to be able to produce an opinion that produces a result that's different than you would have if you were a member of Congress.
I say in my book that, you know, no one knows. And the only thing I can think of in the long run to resolve this problem is for everybody to vote.

This is a novel that David wrote in 1987. It is a fictionalized account of a true story about the CIA recruiting the chief of intelligence for the PLO as an American asset and running him for 10 years before he was assassinated by the Israelis. The story was based on David's reporting on the Middle East for the Wall Street Journal and was almost like a text book for CIA operations.

A Novel
The book is about moving around a body, and it was described as very funny and an easy read. The narrator describes how she unearthed her dad and moved him to West Virginia so her grandmother could have him next to her when she died, and how the book made her think about what life is about, especially the stops between when we are born and when we die.

I'm sorry, it just is.
It's about moving around a body.
Oddly enough, I actually unearthed my dad and moved him to West Virginia so my grandmother could have him next to her when she died.
When I seen Her Bones, I knew what we all knew. We're all going to end up in a grave someday, but there's stops between then and now, which I thought was a perfect way to talk about what life is.
