Canceled elections would do it, but only after the election itself.
Which would then lead to martial law.
Oh yeah, I’ve seen it.
Put a yolo object detection training script on your PC. Boom! All my NAS is for training AI.
Like, I know that’s not how laws work. Laws work to protect rich corporations and profits. But that’s the logic we got here.
The same company went to court claiming that “GPT” (Generative Pre-trained Transformer, the generic term for the type of LLM most AI chatbots are) is a trademark that no one else can use, because their platform has it in the name.
That’s like if Burger King were to say “burger” is their company’s trademark, so no one else is allowed to call their meat patty sandwiches “burgers.”
Meanwhile, tech companies (including OpenAI) are pirating data to use to train their models, with the explicit intention of generating profit from them, and pretending they have an inalienable right to do so.
They’re ingesting archives full of stolen IP, and raising a fuss about three letters…
Don’t hate AI because copyright is being violated. Copyright was just invented and expanded to protect corporate profits. It has never and will never be something to protect artists.
They will do the same here. Copyright will be changed to favor corporate profits. The only thing that will happen is that Disney and other big media corporations want a piece of the pie. No law favouring copyright protection with AI will EVER be for artists benefits.
This is just corporate infighting. They’ll definitely say that it’s to “protect artists”. It’s not. Copyright never has been about protecting artists.
To the common person. Yes. But China seems to be pretty willing to fuck with America for the time being and keeps creating more efficient and more application specific AI models (while the US is just chasing some dream of a generalized AI that is hitting a brick wall hard).
I think the actual useful AI models we use in 20 years will be much more like what China is focusing on; and a generalized AI will not actually be achievable.
Honestly everyone and their mother sucks with this.
Corporation who violate copyright suck.
People who violate copyright suck.
Everyone sucks with copyright and are like Republicans and abortions who think their violations are morally acceptable violations.
This Ai is an amazing concept but humanity doesn’t deserve it until they can get along and live peacefully.
All peace up to this day feels like a soggy bandaid and false gimmick.
I mean. There are other models that already only train on their own legally held data. Getty Images, and Shutter Stock for instance.
The main problem is that this is in direct reaction to other models scraping them for training data and them trying to monetize their own IP as a result.
Hey we need your private data to train our AIs on.
Ok, but I need your private data too.
Hell no…
I don’t get how they’re allowed to do this in the first place.
People are using LLM’s instead of visiting websites, reading books, or watching videos. And lots of people are PAYING AI companies for this.
It’s such a clear case of copyright infringement, and it’s leading to countless losses for creators.
I think part of the issue is it’s relatively new, new things don’t have laws written about them and haven’t been tried in court. So, until one of the copyright holders want to push the issue it’s sort of like “well, maybe it’s illegal, maybe it’s not.”
And of course the copyright holders just make deals so that they get paid and they move on with life (Disney).
This logic appeals to me but I’m curious how it could work legally as well as potential side effects. It seems likely that legal arguments would ensue over intended use of content, and it doesn’t seem like it should be illegal to use some created work in a new or unintended manner.
I think the overall goals are to encourage creative and academic work (which requires funding creators), discourage centralization of knowledge (prevent leverage over and manipulation of populace), encourage distrust of llm output without source references in output, and discourage overuse of generative AI. I’m sure there are more, but that’s what comes to mind.
That’s not a fair comparison at all. You typically pay for the media that you would “train” yourself off of or the author of said media would publish it for free with the expectation of fair use.
What they’re doing is downright theft or making a dishonest argument of fair use. They are either stealing media/data without fair compensation to the original creators or ignoring that the creators don’t want their media to be used for AI training purposes.
As an example, Nvidia was just caught not too long ago negotiating with one of the largest illegal archives to train their AI models. With that archive team making a clear distinction to Nvidia that is was all pirated content. Don’t defend this garbage, it’s pretty fucking clear what these corporations are doing.
It’s just another classic example of scapgoating laws that the average people have to follow but the corporations and ruling class can either ignore or litigate themselves out of.
Lol he’ll juet have to sit down and write his own booka for them to train off of, paint his own pictures for them to imitate, sing his owm songs for them to clavicate in a whirring tempest of metal flesh cords.
He’ll have to work for once in his life.
I bet he’s going to use the absolutely mind boggingly mentally challenged remarks he’s previously uttered as a legal defense for “people shouldn’t have given me all that money, that’s all on them”.
Things like (paraphrasing, because I cannot be bothered to look up the clips of this imbecile): “We are out of electrons” as a response to “why not manufacture more hardware chips”. Or the hilarious “Once we have a working AGI, we’re going to ask it how to make a return on all these absurd investments”, to a group of investors…
I feel like all the rich and powerful are the dumbest fuckers in this planet, who just grifted their way.
The entire spirit of Neoliberal Capitalism is that Regulations and Enforcement of Regulations are bad for business and shouldn’t be done.
This guys’ take is pretty much just a continuation of the takes of lots of publicly celebrated CEOs of the last 4 decades.
So what they doing is basically piracy.
And not just them, any AI in that so called “race” is allegedly doing it.
So why do we get punished if we download something from the Internet?
If the developers who made the work are not being compensated properly and the publishers are charging predatory rates, then pirate away.
If the publishers themselves who have more than the means to actually pay the residuals for the work, are they themselves pirating, and then reselling the product? Up to you where your moral compass is on that.
