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.
Alrighty then, enjoy the end of creative people creating things, let’s all find out together how this ends 😐
which technically makes piracy legal because that’s the gov endorsing piracy
should update torrent client to say “LLM training agent” instead, legally safe /s
yup
Nah we might need to accept reality. You need to be rich enough to make some bullshit company that uses A.I. then you can pirate legally using that A.I. as an excuse.
so Norm was right. …
You need a $$$/hr lawyer to pull <$100 LLC paperwork out of their briefcase. “My client was just training his company’s innovative new LLM.” We live in an odd world.
But you don’t get to enjoy copyrighted materiel yourself
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.
We are all training our own AI models now.
They got you hoodwinked there.
They don’t like to talk about it, but the US founding fathers were raging leftists (although that terminology didn’t exist yet). The framers of the constitution had no intention to create a class of intellectual landlords extracting rent from the people. That is why copyright is strictly limited in the constitution.
[the United States Congress shall have power] To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.

The language is archaic. Useful Arts means inventions and Science means knowledge. The economic consequences of copyright are very much at issue.
That AI training is (generally) Fair Use is a no-brainer. It’s actually much harder to justify copyrights for entertainment products.
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.
I’m downloading all of Netflix library to train my LLM.
gonna start my own darknet with a 56k bandwidth limit.
shit was simpler 30 years ago because nothing advanced enough could use such a slow connection.
Let’s get the good stuff down from the loft… the loft ladder creaks
Kleptocracy.
Alright, then copyright is dead.
Ad block and canceling subscriptions it is then.
Yarhar!
lol
We’re in danger
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
I also imagine a world without copyright may not be any worse than the one we’re in. In a lot of ways it would probably be much better.
It is crazy music samples have stronger laws for commercial usage than AI.
Rules for thee and not for me.
