Isn't this just the tech version of cuckooing?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuckooing

Illegally using someone's property to make profit from dodgy business.

I know how it feels man. Every time I try to sell bootleg DVDs from the trunk of my car, the cops shut me down. Big copyright is just killing the free market, I say.

Then fucking don't. I'd celebrate if AI just fucking dies and we go back to our old days where people actually did real work to produce shit. I'm so fucking sick of the AI hype, it's ruining everything.

LLMs have improved my education, work life, and general knowledge search. I get more time to spend living my life and less trying to find one dude's stacked change post from 2009 that fixed my problem.

They allow me to access information the way I learn and operate in a way that textbooks, college education, video courses, or online classes have never allowed me to do in my entire life.

That being said, the general AI buzz and buzzwords need to die, the real positives need to be celebrated.

Thats usually when startups realise their concept isn't working and they pivot or close.

AI developers: your copyrighted work is such a small contributor to the AI's output that copyright doesn't apply. Also AI developers: but our AI won't work without it.

Ummm... last I checked your job as an org was to do XYZ with the aim of helping humanity improve, so.... fuck you Altman and fuck your bullshit generator(s).

Children also learn to reading and writing using copyrighted works, often from borrowed books that they aren't paying for. Some corporations would love if everyone had to pay individually, maybe per use, to access copyrighted material, and New York Times and American pro sport leagues would love if they could actually own recollections of copyrighted material, but neither of these is good for normal people.

OpenAI is right. Almost everything of value on the internet is under copyright, and very little on the internet has clearly and unambiguously specified licensing information. If the software can only be trained on content that clearly allows training, the model isn't going to "know" anything about anything since Steamboat Willie and it isn't going to use broken dialects of older English from being limited to only public domain works that have been digitized and made available as public domain (reprints may not be public domain).

Issue with this argument is that if you are found to have hacked their servers and stolen an API key you bet your ass theyre suing you for stealing their property. Their argument is "laws for thee not for me". I agree with you if we are only talking about copyright law.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

I'm all for abolishing copyright, but at that point I'd want the models to be completely open as well.
