It's always the people that fear for their assets that want things to stay the same.
I find it interesting that people who were pro pirating, are now against AI companies using copyrighted materials.
Personally, I think copyright was a dumb concept and shouldn't exist. It's time we get rid of it.
You should tell these companies then, because after pirating all the copyrighted information they will absolutely push for IP protections for AI output.
Probably, and I'll denounce and blame them for this just the same. My moral compass is that copyright shouldn't exist to begin with. I never said AI companies are good or that they should be allowed to do everything, just that the copyright issue is not the problem for me.
Cool but that issue is not in play here. That is not even close to a mainstream position and none of the actual players in this are working towards that outcome. Taking one side of this on that basis is silly.
You can call me 'silly' if you want, I've been called worse :-D
Does it matter that a position is mainstream for defending it ? I haven't taken any "sides" on the AI topic in this thread, just stated my opinions regarding the subject of intellectual property, which is very inconsequential, furthermore we are on lemmy, that is not mainstream either. Do we have to "take side" and be split on every topic, tribally defending our "side", because the other side are obviously idiots ?
Slight difference between little Johny torrrenting the latest movie for personal use and an AI company doing it for commercial gain.
I'm an advocate of full copyleft mentality : free and open source for any use, including commercial. If I'm sharing my work then anyone can do anything with it, I'm not entirely sure about attribution yet though, probably a remnant of being raised in this society..
