I'm naming my torrent client "AI" and now I have the right to download a car.

I identify as an AI company ☠️

[–] reksas@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 days ago

no no, i mean people should actually start utilizing this bullshit. Anyone can start a company and with some technical knowhow you can add somekind of ai crap to it. companies dont have to make profit or anything useful so there is no pressure to do anything with it.

But if it comes to copyright law not applying to ai companies, why should some rich assholes be only ones exploiting that? It might lead to some additional legal bullshit that excludes this hypotetical kind of ai company, but that would also highlight better that the law benefits only the rich.

Can the rest of us please use copyrighted material without permission?

  1. There’s a practical concern: how do you prevent ai without preventing people.
  2. What if you want to allow search, and how is that different than ai, legally or in practice?
  3. Does this put Reddit in a new light? Free content to users but charging for the api to do bulk download such as for ai?

Search is very different to create something.

It only seems to make a difference when the rich ones complain.

It’s like the goal is to bleed culture from humanity. Corporate is so keep on the $$$ they’re willing to sacrifice culture to it.

I’ll bet corporate gets to keep their copyrights.

Absolute fastest way to kill this shit? Feed the entire Disney catalog in and start producing knockoff Disney movies. Disney would kill this so fast.

On the other hand copyright laws have been extended to insane time lengths. Sorry but your grandkids shouldn't profit off of you.

So did this UK "centre-left" party turn out to be a Trojan horse or what? They've dismantled trans rights. They plan on using AI thought police to 'predict' future crimes and criminals. And now they want multibillion corporations to have free access to anyone's work without compensation.

If I hadn't looked this political party up on Wikipedia, by this point I would be assuming that they're a bunch of conservative wankers on Elon Musk's payroll.
