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.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I suspect the timing of this has a lot to do with the Supreme Court's refusal to hear the appeal regarding copyright for AI-generated visual art, which effectively upholds the Copyright Office's determination that copyright only applies to human-created works.

If Disney (or any other prospective customer) can't claim copyright over anything a generative model might produce, then it has no commercial value.

Yeah, that's definitely part of it, I think. That, combined with OpenAI's inability to make an actual ROI just made it a non-starter. I hope to see more of this in the future.
