@Davriellelouna I never thought I would agree with Trump on something.

Looks like it's Sam Altman's turn to ram his hand up there to make the puppet talk now. That is word for word what that tech douche nozzle says.

This is definitely what that is, but I take it this also means he's saying pirating is ok for people and not just tech corporations. Safe to assume? Bc otherwise it just seems like more entitled rich fucks making the rules for everyone else that they can ignore

Funny that when it was about protecting profits copyright was such a cornerstone principle but when it's about protecting profits it can also be set aside.

So Pro Piracy argument ... So no more patents or copyrights

Not for you, silly, only if you're too rich and big!

I'll setup a JellAIfin server immediately. It's just the regular Jellyfin code, but I am compiling my own version - it has "AI" added as a comment to every line of code before I compiled.

There was an episode of behind the bastards I was listening to a while back where they mentioned some dude who was using an AI tool to scrape the internet to steal other people's art, so people started doing something that prevented him from optimally stealing their art.

I can't remember what exactly, but the guy started whining that whatever people were doing was "illegal" bc it was damaging his tool he was using to steal other people's shit for his own profit. Like somebody telling you that it's illegal to prevent them from efficiently stealing your property bc it interferes with their livelihood. How dare you!

Anyway, that's the kind of vibes I get from this.

"I need it for my business plan to work out" is not a great legal argument for when you're trying to override others rights.

[–] javiwhite@feddit.uk 8 points 6 hours ago

So what you're telling me is it's still a legal argument.

Time to ignore all the copyright and patents for my own ~~nefarious purposes~~ AI training

[–] amikulo@slrpnk.net 7 points 4 hours ago

How am I supposed to train my neural network (my own brain) to be a filmmaker if I have to pay for each piece of media I train on (watch)?

[–] misteloct@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 hours ago

"I am ~~hosting a pirate bay instance~~ AI" foolproof.

"you cant POSSIBLY expect us, to respect HUMAN RIGHTS if we want progress? i mean the survival of the human species (me and my friends) relies on cheap and free labour and the starvation, death, and exploitation of the masses. if we want to SURVIVE as a species (me and my friends) WE GOTTA EXPLOIT THE PEOPLE"

Sam Altman approves this message.

Hundred percent he got a script from a lobbyist to create this sound bite.

Sam Altman defending the ban on Republican state AI regulations in 2025:

Altman, during the hearing, said that Texas had been “unbelievable” in incentivizing major AI projects. “I think that would be a good thing for other states to study,” Altman said. He predicted that the Abilene site would be the “largest AI training facility in the world.” But Altman also later cautioned against a patchwork regulatory framework for AI.

“It is very difficult to imagine us figuring out how to comply with 50 different sets of regulations,” said Altman. “One federal framework that is light touch, that we can understand, and it lets us move with the speed that this moment calls for, seems important and fine.”

Aww, would it make it "difficult" for you to create your technocratic dystopia? 😭🎻

Trump's former CTO and current Science Advisor Michael Kratsios about why we don't need regulations on facial recognition tech in 2019:

“A patchwork of regulation of technology is not beneficial for the country. We want to avoid that. Facial recognition has important roles—for example, finding lost or displaced children. There are use cases, but they need to be underpinned by values.”

Not beneficial for the country or the corporations? Always thinking about the children first, even back then. Please tell me more about how we're just too dumb to understand how all of this is for our own good.

This basically means some people are now owned by corporations or at least everything they do is owned by them.

Don't spend one more dollar on educational material. If a person had to pay for every textbook and online subscription, education would be impractical.

Brb training an llm on the criterion collection. It's for educational purposes.

It’s amazing he can talk at all with both the dick and balls of every Nerd Reich billionaire he can find wedged into his mouth.

"Piracy for me, not for thee."

So they will bring the whole thing down, right? Right?

[–] notso@feddit.org 17 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (2 children)

In a statement given during a press conference in the Oval Office, the president's stance on the topic was clear:

"I'm a big reader, some say the biggest ever. And let me tell you - when you go into a bookstore, they have books costing like insane numbers, like 100.000 Dollars each minimum. Its an absolute disgrace. You have all these authors getting billions just for putting funny little characters on paper. The democrats... They jacked up the price so much, especially under Obama together with the crooked Clintons and sleepy Joe Biden, they were all in this room when it happened, they were all together. Its a shame. They did the same thing with eggs but I brought prices down like, immediately. Immediately. So fast everybody said "Wow" Because they never saw something like that and I will do the same for these books and newspapers. But all these writers and journalists, who are all producing propaganda for the radical left by the way, they are really terrible people - they're earning trillions... I was speaking to Mr. ChatGPT the other day and he said "They're ripping us off, Mr. President it's a totally broken market, they are killing us." And I agree, it's a disgrace. A total disgrace. That's why I'll bring prices down by not only 100 % or 200 %, but probably more like 1,000 % in the next two weeks. You'll never have seen lower prices for medication, let me tell you... And books too. So there will be big price cuts. Bigly."

Can a human be expected to have a successful life when they have to pay for knowledge they need access to? I am not against the opinion that information should be free and freely accessible. But does this courtesy also extend to the common folk or is it exclusive to expensive machines and their owners? You wouldn’t download a United States government. da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
