If your industry (AI) can only exist by ripping the work of others without credit, then it shouldn't exist.

The big companies are just steamrolling over the rights of everyone because they're getting away with it. Governments have been cowardly to act on this.

I thought we were all opposed to copyright overreach until recently? ๐Ÿ™ƒ

More seriously: I think a reasonably limited form of copyright could indeed stimulate creative work and benefit society, but the long-established fair use doctrine must not be eroded in order to harm AI or other industries we dislike today.

Many humans live on their intellectual work.
A) we can create a universal good income (not just basic!) for everybody, and get rid of all IP restrictions. And, subsequently, capitalism for amassing wealth. Sounds reasonable.
B) the LLM companies need to pay for their stolen IP or die. Sounds reasonable.
C) they let everybody living on IP-Work die. Artists, Coders, Scientists. Humanity will stall -- LLMs don't create anything new. Now art, no science, no nothing. They just repeat.

AI shouldn't be developed as an industry but as a public service that is free and open source, in this way I wouldn't see any problem with scrapping any content from the internet to feed it...

knew this was coming.

next they will claim national security as endangered if they can't siphon off creative works.

wait.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

also... we're going to make individual artistic endeavour entirely economically futile for what? Shitty memes, and crap corporate clip art?
No.

Nick Clegg is a liar and wants to get away with the swag.

In the EU we have trained models with the permission to use the work of others.

Glad to see so many posts telling this moron to shut up.

yep. Either enforce copyright fairly, especially on those who'd profit from abusing the works of others, or do fully automated luxury communism

This middle ground where billionaires get a free pass and everyone else is expected to toil in increasingly uncreative industries is what's unworkable

Itโ€™s just conservatism.

According to #wilhoitslaw, conservatism consists of only a single principle:

There should be an in-group which the law protects but does not bind, and an out-group which the law binds but does not protect.

There is no modernity, no enlightenment, no rule of law. Itโ€™s the old divine right of kings, unchanged by centuries.

You simply cannot be stealing other peopleโ€™s ideas and creations and make money out of it with no idea on their consent or compensationโ€ฆ

It is just ridiculousโ€ฆ

Without any idea on that there is no industry, it is just theft.

@ambergrey As a creative person I have never in my life been less inspired to share my talents with the world just so others may harvest my work for profit. Billionaire tech broligarch greed will destroy so much culture as AI turns everything including peopleโ€™s brains to useless grey goo.
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

so copyright law will disrupt the AI industry? Move fast and break things? Cut the green tape? Empower creators?

Funny how actual work never gets described that way, but when the 1% are grifting us, dying industries are suddenly an inevitable consequence of their genius. Nick Clegg needs bricks thrown at everything he owns, starting with his head, fuck these parasites and their mouthpieces .

(hypothetical bricks of harmless internet words, of course, a thought experiment).

See also restaurants that would โ€˜go underโ€™ if they paid their staff a living wage or retailers who โ€˜couldnโ€™t surviveโ€™ if they didnโ€™t practice wage theft and theft of labour from their workers.
