So... Let's steal to advance our country. Really nice.

I’m downloading all of Netflix library to train my LLM.

Alright, then copyright is dead.

Ad block and canceling subscriptions it is then.

Yarhar!

Kleptocracy.

Really cool how the supreme court doesnt give a shit about the law anymore and like half their rulings are "ik the law says we cant do this, but that would be really inconvenient so it doesnt matter"

Well copyrights either apply to all or to none. We aren't going to make exceptions for someone's favourite companies.

Whithouse: which opinion will piss off the most Americans?

The US government is finally learning it's capitalist system can't compete with China in terms of AI. Someone finally got through to them capitalism will cause America to lose the AI race. Too little too late. Why they still call everyone communist and socialist, turns out they're doing the same except it's corporations that are allowed to be socialists and communists.

Peak capitalism, steal everything from the masses, remix and regurgitate it so no one is the wiser, then sell it back to them via a subscription model.

Makes me sick.

This just in... I think I'm going to start training my own LLM on various movies, TV shows, and music. US government said it was ok.

Rules for thee, not for me.

Pirating anything isn't illegal anymore. If the government can pick and choose people and groups who don't have to pay for patent or copyright, then there are no patents or copyrights.

Aaron Schwartz’s prosecution was always bullshit. RIP.

Precedent that copyright is not legally enforceable

which technically makes piracy legal because that's the gov endorsing piracy

Trump’s government siding with OpenAI is peak MAGA economics: copyright is sacred until Silicon Valley needs millions of other people’s books, articles and art for free. Then suddenly property rights become an annoying obstacle to »winning the AI race.« Apparently America First now means AI companies first, creators somewhere near last.

So it's eminent domain on other people's copyrighted content?

Gotta keep funneling money to those billionaires.

That is awesome, anyone can train an AI model and use copyrighted materials. So this is the end of IP laws?

Then I’ll continue to pirate everything

There's not just a desperation for Skynet by US government, like protecting oil from EVs/renewables, this is also about creating new oligarchs to fund electoral results that oppress Americans/humanity.

To my understanding, and excuse me if I‘m wrong because I‘m not a lawyer but that‘s not what the fucking law says? You either uphold copyright law or abandon it. There is no middle way and if courts disagree with you, your stance doesn‘t really matter here.

A follow up question, please:

Q: So, what is illegal for an AI firm to do?

"Retain"? What in the actual fuck are you talking about? You surrendered that ages ago.

But you don't get to enjoy copyrighted materiel yourself

So... pay for it? It's not like the money isn't there

Remember that it's always morally acceptable to break in and destroy AI data centers. The only ones harmed are not people.

It is crazy music samples have stronger laws for commercial usage than AI.

Firmly an example of capitalism cannibalism themselves.

It may not abolish copyright but it is causing cracks.

Copyright was always a scam, non personal information should be free. Multiple people can have the same good idea, walling of access to a good idea behind capital blocks human progress.

Before anyone says something, yes artists deserve to eat… just like everyone else. Being economically productive should not be a condition for that. Make your art for fun and enjoy the honor of being copied with a sidedish of UBI.

Where's all the people shouting how awesome capitalism is, private ownership, the communists will come steal everything from you.

Here come capitalists to steal everything you own so they can make more money. Copyright, shmopyright. They've also got eminent domain on their side to build walls and data centers

I am okay with that. As long we are consistent with the copyright law. If OpenAI can break copyright to make their own money, it should be legal to me too.

Laws should be the same for everyone and no one should be above the law

So literally the Chinese approach to copyright and IP law.

From me just looking at it, everything they're trying to do to force US AI supremacy seems to just generate and cause even more pushback. Ban cards to China? China's ramping up GPU supplying and separating from US dominated supply chains. Ban model exports? They'll make cheaper and easier models. Idk, whenever you force the market it usually backfires in ways you can't expect.
