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

Poor people aren't "running an industry"

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

Sounds okay to me. Fuck the AI industry.

Asking banks for permission would kill the robbery imdustry.

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.

You're saying that like it's a bad thing?

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.

Don't tempt me with a good time

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 14 points 1 month ago

Then it should die.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 11 points 1 month ago

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

Nick Clegg can go fuck himself!

The solution presents itself!

scribbles notes Oh good!

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

Dunno who this guy is, but he's either a techbro or doesnt know what hes talking about. It will kill LLM's and the art bots that work by stealing data, but thats not how all AI is trained. Make actual AI and not theft-bot and you wont have that problem.

That is how I feel about banks and money

You mean how laws stop the theft industry, and the murder industry... Like they should

Edit: Okay turns out it is the nick the useless clegg i thought it was some namesake since the photo in article looked different to what i remember... Wow what a bastard...

[–] dehyzer@piefed.social 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

...but it is that Nick Clegg

[–] OwlPaste@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

What what?! 😦 Looks like i lived under a rock 🤯

[–] ratel@mander.xyz 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It is, unfortunately.

As policy makers in the UK weigh how to regulate the AI industry, Nick Clegg, former UK deputy prime minister and former Meta executive, claimed a push for artist consent would “basically kill” the AI industry.

[–] OwlPaste@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Oh wow 😯😳 okay i lived under a rock, did not see that happening 😞
