If AI gets to use copyrighted material for free and makes a profit off of the results, that means piracy is 1000% Legal. Excuse me while I go and download a car!!

Technofascism on its way to legalize my 30TB trove of backups
If I had to pay tuition for education (buying text books, pay for classes and stuff), then you have to pay me to train your stupid AI using my materials.
If your business model only works if you break the Law, that mean's you're just another Organised Crime group.

I hope generative AI obliterates copyright. I hope that its destruction is so thorough that we either forget it ever existed or we talk about it in disgust as something that only existed in stupider times.
Thing is that copywrite did serve a purpose and was for like 20 years before disney got it extended to the nth degree. The idea was the authors had a chance to make money but were expected to be prolific enough to have more writings by the time 20 years was over. I would like to see with patents that once you get one you have a limited time to go to market. Maybe 10 years and if you product is ever not available for purchase (at a cost equivalent to the average cost accounted for inflation or something) you lose the patent so others can produce it. So like stop making an attachment for a product and now anyone can.

If I'm using "AI" to generate subtitles for the "community" is ok if i have a large "datastore" of "licensable media" stored locally to work off of right?
How many pages has a human author read and written before they can produce something worth publishing? I’m pretty sure that’s not even a million pages. Why does an AI require a gazillion pages to learn, but the quality is still unimpressive? I think there’s something fundamentally wrong with the way we teach these models.

"How am I supposed to make any money if I can't steal all of my products to sell back to the world that produced them?"
Yeah, fuck that. The whole industry deserves to die.
Good, end this AI bullshit, it has little upsides and a metric fuckton of downsides for the common man

Oops, oh well. I very much hope it's over, asshole.
Suddenly millions of people are downloading to "train their AI models".
As an artist, kindly get fucked ass hole. I'd like compensation for all the work of mine you stole.
Good. Fuck off.
I always felt using publicly available but copyrighted works could be ok but only if the model is publicly available as well
Porque no los dos?
The ai race is over AND we abolish the copyright bullshit laws we have now?
"How are we supposed to win the race if we can't cheat?!"
I need a seamstress AI to take over 10 million seamstress robots so I don't have to pay 100million seamstresses for fruit of the loom underwear.... Could you tech it how to do double well and then back up at each end with some zigzags? For free? I mean everyone knows zigzag!
So all I need to do if I get caught torrenting a movie is say that im training an LLM for subtitles?
Why does Sam keep threatening us with a good time?
