I get what you’re saying but that’s not really how things work. New technology leads to new social problems, and new social problems create the need for legal clarity and regulatory policy.

Right now we are very much in a wild west, anything goes, era of generative AI, but do you really think it can or will stay this way forever?

Just a couple centuries ago slavery was the beating heart of the American (and arguably the entire Western) economy. It would have been unimaginable to some people that it would ever be regulated out of existence, and yet…

I was literally about to do it when that one Proton exec started sucking off Trump on Twitter, and then I changed my mind.

Part of living in 1984 is getting used to Newspeak and understanding that people will do anything but call a lie “a lie”.

Sounds like something to talk to a (human) therapist about.

AI is way more out of control than copyright.

There’s simply no way to justify what the AI compies have been doing. As that one Microsoft exec said, it’s the “largest theft of labor” in modern history

“teensy tiny data center” also known as a “computer”.

He’s running out of things to rename.

Why are we acting like it’s news that generative AI companies are building their core products of the theft and exploitation of other people’s intellectual labor?

Get with the program, it’s their entire business model.

It’s equally weird to see the some people siding with billionaires and tech conglomerates instead of with the working class. It’s almost as if there’s more nuance to things than people who live online think…

The sad truth of our time is that richest for-profit tech corporations on Earth are making buckets of money through the exploitation of the intellectual labor of the creative class.

It was already hard enough to make a living as an artist or musician before… Now artists are being told that they have to compete in a market of finite demand against an infinite supply of generative AI slop that only exists as a byproduct of their own stolen work.

Considering there would be no AI product without the training data, it’s pretty much unconscionable that tech companies like Suno can make endless profit off of the work of others without even so much as consent, let alone compensation.

Oh NOW you care about stealing intellectual property!

Fuck off. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander, AI assholes.

Yes…

The document notes how Nvidia reached out to Anna’s Archive, stating that it’s “exploring including Anna’s Archive in pre-training data for [Nvidia’s] LLMs.

“Internal documents show competitive pressures drove Nvidia to piracy,” states the complaint, also revealing that before proceeding with the access, Anna’s Archive informed the company that its content was “illegally acquired and maintained.”

Despite this, Nvidia proceeded with the piracy, which resulted in the company receiving “millions of pirated copyrighted books,” or “roughly 500 terabytes of data.”

These AA frauds are directly providing AI companies with scraped data, no?

Because these “assets” are at best hemorrhaging billions of dollars per year, and are also the result of total cultural strip mining. Why would I, as a taxpayer, want to take over a massive, and massively unprofitable business?

I think it’s naive to believe that the government will seize these companies without without a huge amount of taxpayer cash winding up in the hands of big tech companies and their owners.

Let failing businesses fail. Leave the taxpayers out of it

How can they “open source” other people’s work?

The data that they’ve trained on wasn’t theirs to begin with.

Absolutely fucking not.

Nationalizing AI companies represents nothing more than a big tech bailout, leaving the American taxpayers holding the bag for the grandiose excesses, industrialized IP theft, and borderline fraudulence of some of the richest and most powerful corporations in modern society.

Hell no. No bailout for big AI.

They stole everything they have from the people, and if they are too stupid to figure out how to turn unprecedented plagiarism on a global scale into a viable business plan, then they deserve nothing more than to fail outright.

They’re planning on it. They want nothing more than to go public and leave retail investors and retirement plans holding the bag.

Call me cynical, but I think this is an attempt to do the bare minimum in an effort to preempt laws being put in place.

I stroke a had

I don’t know if I’m alone in this, but I really don’t like the basic ergonomics of taking photos with my phone. To me there’s no comparison to the weight and layout of a dedicated camera.

Ok top of that, I like to fiddle with settings and focus manually, and I don’t want my images to be automatically filtered through AI or scraped by Google.

I can certainly agree that a big part of photography is being in the right place at the right time and using whatever camera you have to take the photo. And I know that the phone cameras these days are pretty good and more than enough for the casual user, but I like a dedicated camera, even a cheap and old one, if only for the experience of taking photos that way.
