    I said this in another thread about this piece so I’m gonna paste it here again. Sorry those of you who maybe saw it lol:

    This is the same shit sites like YouTube use to get out of being accountable for anything they do. “We are too big. It is unreasonable to ask us to follow the law. So our benchmark of what a good faith attempt should suffice.”

    Motherfucker then don’t be so big! If I’m a real estate developer and my building collapses killing 100 people, I can’t go “my empire is too big. It is unreasonable to expect me to follow all the various codes and ordinances designed to keep people safe.“

        I mean yes to some extent, but at the end of the day, tech moguls get a lot more latitude for ruinin lives than executives in a lot of other industries. How many stories have we read of fake nudes of children being spread around schools? AI getting people to commit suicide? Bigoted bots?

        We’ve got Teslas literally running over people in the street and nothing fucking happens.

    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.

      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.

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

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