Fucking finally! Now let them fight.
I refuse to hope for a world where copyright and AI are both destroyed in one lawsuit because it’s too beautiful to ever be real.
I'm concerned how AI often leads to people to defend copyright. I fear it will come out of the fight stronger than ever, while not slowing AI in any meaningful way.
Oh, I'm not defending copyright- I just think that everyone should play by the same rules.
I agree, the big corporations, their CEOs, their shareholders, and their employees should follow in the exact same footsteps as Aaron Swartz. All of them.
For those that don't know, Aaron was a hero.
The result is going to be some kind of deal where AI use requires to pay a certain percentage or something like $0.01 per token in copyright fees. This will be the end of open weight models you're allowed to run locally on your PC. It'll be "piracy".
It will strengthen the AI corporations by allowing complete monopolization of AI.
Kind of an either/or deal here. If AI loses, copyright wins (and it's David fucking Ellison, son of Oracle himself). If copyright loses, AI wins.
Yes, we do live in a boring, dumb, and ugly universe.
You and me both Boomer Doomer.
Just latching ointo the top comment: this page compares AI-generated music with the originals it blatantly stole from. It's against Suno, not Anthropic, but it illustrates the overall issue pretty well.
Obligatory (for Germans): GEMA is not necessarily the good guy here. Neither are Sony and Warner.
Fucking crazy thing is that there have always been big ass people in the same room watching their shit get stolen. Warner, Disney, etc...
I can't imagine the legal pain if all of the media entities stopped paying ball.
the oligarchs will settle between themselves on a way to fuck us over that's ok for both of them, as always.
