I really don't know what's more anti capitalist than stealing content from literally every corporation that owns content to create software that is more often than not distributed for free that you can use however you see fit without them ever seeing a dime of it.

So when I download an open weights image generation model created by Facebook, that's even created from stolen content (they're among the worst offenders) for free, and run it on my own machine, to produce something that only and those I choose to share it with have access to....

Say I did this exact thing with the muppets and released it for free.

Do you think hiring paid actors and licensing the muppets and artists to create a real muppets movie that's then released only for those who will pay for it, for profit only, enriching the people that own this whole apparatus, is a more egalitarian take then doing it with ai and releasing it for free?

What, it's shitting on Jim Henson's Memory if something doesn't create profit?

And I NEED to breathe. I NEED to shit.

As far as what's wrong with me. I don't know. Understanding? Reason? Opposition to any system that profits off the backs of others' hard work?

You claim to have understanding and reason, but you are both for AI (which is entirely about profiting off of other people's hard work) yet don't like systems that profit off of other people's hard work.

Never talked to someone who's never seen a mirror before, maybe you should try it sometime, get some self reflection.

Sorry, do you think people are making money on ai?

And you can understand that things aren't either for or against right? Like, you've heard of nuance before?

I am ABSOLUTELY for using a model made of stolen copyrighted works to replace all the human actors in a movie with muppets. Absolutely. 100%.

I am NOT for profiting off that.

And beyond this in the bigger sense: do you think anyone other than nvidia and computer hardware makers are profiting from ai?

Who? Where? Because I haven't heard of them.

This shit is an expensive boondoggle that is NOT driving roi. At least that's what literally everything everywhere and my own experience indicates, but if that's incorrect then by all means show me the money.

OH MY GOD I JUST LOOKED IN THE MIRROR. IT TURNS OUT IVE BEEN A HALF MAN HALF BAT CREATURE THIS ENTIRE TIME. I HAVE WINGS BRO. IM GONNA GO FLY AROUND A BIT AND EAT SOME FUCKING INSECTS.
