There is currently no regulation against humans creating slop or making bad business decisions. Prohibiting the use of tools for certain tasks to save jobs is a recipe for disaster, which is actually what you are saying I think.

You are a mouthpiece, I’m going to assume everything you say is a lie or grossly misrepresented. Post your sources, bootlicker.

If you are a moron, ya, it is.

A lot of our laws are indeed obsolete. I think the best solution would be to force copy left licenses on anything using public created data.

But I’ll take the wild west we have now with no walls then any kind of copyright dystopia. Reddit did successfully sell it’s data to Google for 60 million. Right now, you can legally scrape anything you want off reddit, it is an open garden in every sense of the word (even if they dont like it). It’s a lot more legal then using pirated books, but Google still bet 60 million that copyright laws would swing broadly in their favor.

I think it’s very foolhardy to even hint at a pro copyright stance right now. There is a very real chance of AI getting monopolized and this is how they will do it.

The companies like record studio who already own all the copyrights aren’t going to pay creators for something they already owned.

All the data has already been signed away. People are really optimistic about an industry that has consistently fucked everyone they interact with for money.

Because of the vast amount of data needed, there will be no competitive viable open source solution if half the data is kept in a walled garden.

This is about open weights vs closed weights.

Yes precisely.

I don’t see a situation where the actual content creators get paid.

We either get open source ai, or we get closed ai where the big ai companies and copyright companies make bank.

I think people are having huge knee jerk reactions and end up supporting companies like Disney, Universal Music and Google.

The lawsuit would not have benefitted their fellow authors but their publishing houses and the big ai companies.

It’s been shown again and again that evs require less maintenance.

I can’t find anything on such a tax?

I feel like there has been an uptick in pro oil bots in the past week. Oil is a pretty ugly business too? What is wrong with you people.

We are in the middle of a crisis. You don’t need an other reason.

You can either look ugly in an EV or drive straight towards dystopia in a cool looking ICE vehicle.

They speak English too

80% of the book market is owned by 5 publishing houses.

They want to create a monopoly around AI and kill open source. The copyright industry is not our friend. This is a win, not a loss.

Are you Google’s official bootlicker?

People are being harsh with the downvotes but I get what you mean. I get bored and restless doing nothing productive for long lengths of time.

I’m also guessing you don’t mean a 40 hour grind where all the profit goes to a small group of individuals in your example.

If I was told I could work or study but didn’t have to and it was public profits, I’d probably still end up doing a 20-25 hours a week in something.

You are a bit harsh with it though. I wouldn’t say just family and hobbies is hollow.

The oil industry must be so giddy to have found a new scape goat out of nowhere.

Datacenters take a lot of energy because they serve a lot of people. The impact can be lessened with a proper grid centered around renewable.

There are actual things that are fucking up the planet, individuals using AI, gaming or having a Google account aren’t the actual issue.

Are you not self aware at all? Who do you think the article is about?

These lawsuits set precedents. The laws will apply to midjourney as much as the open source, but the big players can buy the data.

It doesn’t matter it was the evil empire getting that result

It does if it only benefits evil empires. The open source tools can’t afford the price which only leaves the big AI companies that can and Disney who holds the data.

All this will do is add a fat price tag and censorship. Artists will not get paid and AI will not go away, the jobs will still be lost. It’s the worst of both worlds.

I don’t see the irony. They perceive AI as a loop hole and need to squash it to keep their grip on things. If anybody can just prompt a movie in ten years, their business is dead. If a small group of indie animators can make a fully fledged movie, their business is dead.

They made it fucked up in their favor, this lawsuit is a continuation of that.
