If it can't figure out how to produce its own power, it's not doing anything but parasitism.

Copyright regulations for thee but not for me

What kind of a pathetic statement is that ?

I'm going to start pirating again and if I ever get caught up I'll just inform them I'm training AI models.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago

Even I should get a pass to view copyrighted movies and songs. I need it to train AI (Actual Intelligence).

So this is an open source public utility, right?

What crimes can I get away with using the same idea?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Sounds like they need better bootstraps.

Or at least a business model.

they've played us for absolute fools

Right now, you can draw the line easily. There will come a time, not to far in the future where machines reading and summarizing copy written data will be the norm.

It's doesnt have to change yet, but eventually this will have to be properly handled.

We're all just horse owners bitching about how cars will just have to be stopped.

If they win, we can just train a CNN on a single 4k hdr movie until it's extremely fitted, and then it's legal to redistribute

I do not care. Get a real job.

In every other circumstance I can think of, “I can’t make money doing a thing unless I break the law” means don’t do that thing.

Why should AI get special treatment?

[–] [email protected] 53 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Well in almost every other circumstance, you’re forgetting Uber and Airbnb.

Now about that fake money for criminals - it was quite useful for me when I needed to send money to my sister, with me being in Russia and her being outside, and it was year 2022. Also with the way ruble sank after the war, buying BTC hours after seeing news of it starting was probably a bargain. Would be twice as expensive the next day.

I haven't used Uber (Yandex Taxi) and Airbnb (asocial type and have responsibilities), and I agree about the plagiarism machine.

Ah yes, the original unviable silicon valley businesses! I love how they used their VC money to undercut and kill small businesses all over the world.

The more the original work is transformed, the more likely it is to be considered fair use rather than infringement.

Because black numbers going up make shareholders happy

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

Because they already raised hundreds of millions from investors

This headline sounded familiar. The article's from 8 months ago, folks.

slaps roof of coffin

So what would it take to get you in one of these?

If your business can't survive without theft, it isn't a business, it's a criminal organization.
