    So it’s only piracy when poor people do it?

        Napster was…but it wasn’t owned by rich people and didn’t benefit rich people so it was targeted.

    AI has brought nothing of value to the table. Just another grift.

      If anything, it’s delgitimized the actually useful ML projects in medicine and data processing.

      It doesn’t actually kill AI, it would just kill any open source solution and create a monopoly for the handful of companies that either have all the data or can afford to pay for it.

      There’s like 5 publishing houses, 3 record companies and a couple of websites that “own” almost all training material.

        Lol lmao

        That’s only if they want to try tonprofit off of it.

        Free use still allows you to train your own AI.

        And the tech would be better if nobody profited off of AI

          Copy left license would be the best scenario but I don’t think that is what we are getting sadly. That being said, you need the big foundational models. The average individual cannot train their own AI from scratch.

    Isn’t it true that historically when universities trained these things, they used their own data, “not randos on the internet” or “anything that wasn’t nailed down” (random scraped copyrighted content).

    GenAI could be ethical, it just, isn’t, because corporations are assholes.

    If it kills the ai industry thats fine. They can’t survive in our current system with IP laws they shouldn’t survive.
