MODERATORS
 
  • Nick Clegg, former Meta executive and UK Deputy Prime Minister, has reiterated a familiar line when it comes to AI and artist consent.
  • He said that any push for consent would “basically kill” the AI industry.
  • Clegg added that the sheer volume of data that AI is trained on makes it “implausible” to ask for consent.

Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? No, says the man on Wall Street; it belongs to the shareholders.

If asking for permission is going to kill an industry, then that industry should be killed.

It’s implausible that I would pay for Netflix, Disney+, Paramount+, etc.

When I can just build a server and buy a VPN connection.

[–] IllNess@infosec.pub 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Makes sense. Paying for all those services would kill my ability to support other industries. Fair game.

I'm not pirating, I'm training the LLM that is in my skull. Don't worry, I won't remember the whole thing in a week and won't use it to create art out of what I saw.

All big tech companies and the law agrees: pirating data to use as input data for intelligence is not piracy. There is finally an answer to the letters sent out by isps.

Is this going in for a vote? Where do I vote?

Come on Disney! Use your god tier copyright lawyers and stop this AI shit for good.

Yay, kill it please.

Ha... He was the Lib Dem poster boy for a good decade. And they're something akin to pro-business libertarians. I wonder what Lib Dem Dep PM Clegg would have said to this!

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He was the poster boy because he managed to rise to the rank of completely irrelevant, the highest level of office any lib dem has ever achieved.

He admit it!

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Yes please.

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Honestly not a bad thing, I mean you're not going to OpenSource your AI so this is a good alternative

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

Ah, if it isn’t my old friend Mr. Nick Clegg, with a dick for a face and an ass for a head!

[–] Siresly@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

Well let's hope it will.

Rules for thee, not for me.

I thought copyright and patent laws were supposed to protect the little guy? Looks like as soon as they protect the little guy from big business, they stop mattering.

It's almost like, they weren't there to protect the little guy which is why big businesses never fought back against them.

I guess the useful idiots were wrong, again. Color me not-surprised.
