    This has always been the issue with AI training in general. We’re just hitting a point where it’s more out in the open.

    Want AI, corporate America? It’s easy! Lobby to eliminate copyright protections.

    What’s that? You still want to sell private access to the systems trained on copyrighted works?

    There’s the rub.

    Similar to how YouTube gets away with a ton of copyright infringement, this is just going to be a form of regulatory capture. The early well funded players get to keep using pirated material for their models, but if you or anyone else trains a model the same way, you’re going to face legal penalities.

    Oh gee - that’d sure be a shame… Uncreative idiot opportunists wouldn’t be able to parasitize off of other people’s creativity without at least paying them for it. Oh whatever will we do?

      But the line won’t go up as sharply if we have to pay for what we use.

      That said if trump opens up copyright. I’ll run every torrent I grab through an ai on my pi and call it fair use

    Well what would happen if anyone else plagiarized copyrighted works? I’ve seen people get locked away for piracy even. Remember what became of Aaron Swartz? Why the fuck should these people get special treatment now?

    Pay for every piece of anything you use. Even training on past works ain’t cool to me. Most people didn’t write stuff in order to put people out of work. Every damn thing needs consent and they should pay for it.

    Training is transformative.

    The robot does not contain the work. The robot has seen the work enough times to extract the essence of Shrek, to where it can almost draw his outfit right. How else were you gonna get a chatbot that knows what things are? You can’t derive Lord Of The Rings from first principles. Either it learned from the library book, or it learned from some blog posts describing the library book.

    I don’t even care about normal piracy, and I’m supposed to be mad about linear algebra that can inaccurately describe pop culture? Like an SSD-filling model is a substitute for a 100 KB text file?
