Is the ai doing anything that isn’t already allowed for humans. The thing is, generative ai doesn’t copy someone’s art. It’s more akin to learning from someone’s art and creating you own art with that influence. Given that we want to continue allowing hunans access to art for learning, what’s the logical difference to an ai doing the same?

AI stans always say stuff like this, but it doesn’t make sense to me at all.

AI does not learn the same way that a human does: it has no senses of its own with which to observe the world or art, it has no lived experiences, it has no agency, preferences or subjectivity, and it has no real intelligence with which to interpret or understand the work that it is copying from. AI is simply a matrix of weights that has arbitrary data superimposed on it by people and companies.

Are you an artist or a creative person?

If you are then you must know that the things you create are certainly indirectly influenced by SOME of the things that you have experienced (be it walking around on a sunny day, your favorite scene from your favorite movie, the lyrics of a song, etc.), AS WELL AS your own unique and creative persona, your own ideas, your own philosophy, and your own personal development.

Look at how an artist creates a painting and compare it to how generative AI creates a painting. Similarly, look at how artists train and learn their craft and compare it to how generative AI models are trained. It’s an apples-to-oranges comparison. Outside of the marketing labels of “artificial intelligence” and “machine learning”, it’s nothing like real intelligence or learning at all.

(And that’s still ignoring the obvious corporate element and the four pillars of fair use consideration (US law, not UK, mind you). For example, the potential market effects of generating an automated system which uses people’s artwork to directly compete against them.)

Either get rid of copyright for everything and everyone, or don’t.

But no stupid BULLSHIT exception for AI slop.

Does anyone know what reciprocal means?

Just checking.

It’s not a surprise that all these techbros who want to steal everything and feed it into their AI machines without paying a single fucking cent to the original creators all the sudden want to get rid of IP. They can lead by example by submitting their IP into the public domain.

Or maybe they’re just massive frauds?

Big tech will do what is best for extracting money customers and investors.

If you really care what your operating system is made of, use Linux.

These fucking guys only ever lie and deny.

Are we really too stupid and weak as a country to be able to do anything about this?

They deserve to lose so much more.

To be totally honest, this isn’t about stock market gamesmanship to me–I’m not trying to buy the dip over the next few days. (If anything I’m waiting for the AI bubble, which I personally believe is bigger than the .com bubble, to blow the fuck up.)

Between incompetent idiots and assholes running everything, ridiculously inflated stock prices, meme stocks and market manipulation, on-again-off-again trade war bullshit, and the AI bubble, I’m happy to have my money out of the market. I have zero faith in the people who are running our economy to do anything worth investing in, and I’ll be perfectly happy to find alternative means of investing over the next 2-4 years.

Frankly, I’m sick of putting almost my entire life savings in the hands of corporations and the delusional k-holed fucknuts like Musk who run them. It’s a bonus that I’m no longer the shameful owner of bullshit ETFs and company shares that serve only to enrich and empower the richest corporate oligarchs.

I’ve lived through multiple crashes already, maybe I’ll hop back into the stock market during the next one, or maybe not because fuck this whole system.

I sold all of my stocks a couple weeks back and I’m feeling pretty fucking good about that right now.

Margin of error +/-52%.

Jesus, this fucking paranoid bitch can barely string a sentence together. He must be neck deep in the techbro CEO k-hole…

Also, as an Irish leftist, he should leave my people out of his delusional and incoherent ranting.

I’m not sure there was much value in the type of tea-leaf reading that 538 was known to do, but then again, I’m not sure how much value there is in corporate political news in general.

Almost not worth living (if not for pizza and weed gummies).

She had the perfect opportunity to reference Metal Sonic here, but she blew it.

On the bright side, it’s never been a better time to switch to an immutable distro…

it wont

Shit I coulda told ya that, man.

Having the AG there is the only paper-thin facade stopping it from obviously looking like absolute dictatorial authority. By having another name on the page it gives them the ability to say “it’s not just Trump who decides the law, the AG weighs in too”. Ignoring the fact that the AG is up his ass and serves Trump’s every whim.

This is the straw that broke the back of American law and justice. Unless the SCOTUS slaps this EO down with the strongest of force as soon as possible, the American experiment is over.

Look at the date, lmao.

You sound like the type of guy who drives a cybertruck and practices Elons “odd hand gesture” in your bedroom at night.
