The laws are currently the same for everyone when it comes to what you can use to train an AI with. I, as an individual, can use whatever public facing data I wish to build or fine tune AI models, same as Microsoft.

If we make copyright laws even stronger, the only one getting locked out of the game are the little guys. Microsoft, google and company can afford to pay ridiculous prices for datasets. What they don’t own mainly comes from aggregators like Reddit, Getty, Instagram and Stack.

Boosting copyright laws essentially kill all legal forms of open source AI. It would force the open source scene to go underground as a pirate network and lead to the scenario you mentioned.

A big cat does describe the feeling pretty well actually.

It’s hard to put into words how much I love this

It’s a lot of fancy words but they basically strap a tv to your face and force feed you gore while they zap your brain and make you feel like shit.

I was expecting venture capitalist pipe dreams and the usual disconnect, not full on Gitmo lol

There is a black mirror episode where a person puts an implant inside their brain that hears an echo of their brain wave activity. Once the implant essentially becomes that person, it’s removed and put into a smart home device.

It’s a three parter, an other bit has a criminals copy being tortured to get a confession out of it.

It’s a Christmas special so it’s a solid hour and a half.

Or maybe oxygen, came out in 2021

I wish they could send it into space so it can orbit the sun forever instead of burning up.

It would be going against the current though and would have to be part submarine and part drill.

They should definitely respect the licenses, that being said, Microsoft owns GitHub and can be a bit quick in what they ban. It also means they are beholden to US laws, which could turn anti FOSS-AI in the near future.

This is a smart move and I honestly hope more countries start doing it. It would probably lead to a better ecosystem.

It’s not about collecting data, the fediverse freely shares all its data by nature.

Threads has a lot more users and Meta would use that to attack smaller instances, a bit like what Lemmy world was doing a few months ago.

The biggest instances usually have the most communities and if they ban other instances, rival members are more likely to migrate over than to create copy cat communities.

It’s not terrible at the moment but bringing in threads is like throwing a shark in a shrimp tank.

It’s just an innocent bug that happens every update!

The consequences of doing a bad thing are on the person doing it, not the whistle blower.

If they wanted to keep their secrets, they should of made sure they weren’t so fucking rough. Nobody would of leaked any files if those heli pilots were saving children instead of joking after killing them.

AI tools and entertainment will become common place in the future. All these lawsuits decide is if we can have it for free or through a subscription payed to Sony and friends.

Multi-billion dollar corporations like Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, and Sony Music Group?

All of music is basically owned by like 4 companies. This is them trying to make sure they own all AI generated music too.

By far the largest recipient of purchase subsidies was Chinese NEV manufacturer BYD, which in 2022 alone received purchase subsidies amounting to €1.6 billion (for about 1.4 million NEV) (Figure 4). The second largest recipient of purchase subsidies was US-headquartered Tesla, which received about €0.4 billion (for about 250,000 BEV produced in its Shanghai Gigafactory)

Am I reading this right? They actually gave half a billion euros to Tesla and I’m suppose to believe they are the bad guys?

This is so transparent as to be insulting. Pure oil propoganda.

It’s not that they need more, it’s that they get double from the oil industry to do nothing.

They stand to profit if this is made into a real law.

Any regulation on AI just kill off their competition at this point. They are both lobbying for it and numerous proposed “anti-AI” laws have been their doing.

I’d say they are pushing for regulations behind the scene because they know it gives them an instant monopoly.

They are already pass the door, they can afford to shut it behind them to own the room. Having to send checks to websites like Reddit and Getty in the future is a small price to pay.

TollBit, a startup aiming to broker paid licensing deals between publishers and AI companies.

If we can’t scrape data freely, it instantly kills the open source scene. These regulation only benefit companies like OpenAi and Google, who will happily pay an exorbitant price to have exclusive rights on data they don’t already own and get a monopoly in return, as well as the companies who own this data like Reddit, Getty, Adobe, etc.

Getting a dime was never in the cards for individuals except maybe the outliers like GRR who can throw their weight around.

Almost all regulation being proposed only benefit big AI companies and are meant to kill any competition. They are flooding the media with bad sentiment articles to manipulate people so they can tell congress their constituents want this.
