Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

People are upset about the lack of regulation, the fact that these companies have been allowed to scrape everything ever and make a commercial product with other people's creations without agency or payment

This is certainly what I'm upset about.

It's mass intellectual property theft on a level that's never been seen before, yet there's been minimal Government action against it - and since everybody affected has been left to fend for themselves, only the giants who can afford it have any meaningful legal defence against it.

@Th4tGuyII @dgerard @Bluegrass_Addict @timewarp @Cris_Color One of the things that irritates me about the AI situation is how many of the same people who absolutely screamed bloody murder over Napster and file-sharing in the early 2000s suddenly made a 180 and decided that copyright infringement is good and awesome now that they stand to profit from it.
