Wow so fuck college students but machines deserve free textbooks?
Fuck this society.
Just download digital copies of the textbooks and say you need them as training material for your own AI dataset when the copyright holders come after you.
Just download the books and say its for your neural network project
just happens your also the project
Just tell your campus book store that you self-identify as AI. FREE BOOKS!
But you aren’t an oligarch of the fascist dictatorship, so you have no rights.
You don’t have libraries in the schools there in the USA? (It is a question, not sarcasm or something)
Not for textbooks…
Like, if your curious there’s a bunch of info out there about why the situation is so fucked.
But in general they release new editions almost every year, with the same information just shuffled so page numbers are different. Even really petty stuff like keeping the same practice work, but changing the order of answers so you need the most updated book every year.
We do. The issue is at the college/university level, most courses require specific edition textbooks (they update them every 1-2 years) that the professors assign homework questions out of. You’ll be lucky if the school library has a copy more recent than the last 8 years.
Then on top of that, many professors will also use digital 3rd party homework services that are tied to a textbook access code that you only get with a new copy. So unless you pay up you can’t do homework and fail the class.The whole system is fucking bullshit
machine learning = good
human learning = badit’s fine when the theft flows up the pyramid. it’s not fine when the theft is us stealing back what was always ours
machines* big Tech Corps
🙌 Communist Trump is making all textbooks free 🙌
You can’t defeat the fascist mental illness with logic. Fascism is a fusion of corporation and state. The only rule of law is whatever the dictator(s) believe protects their regimes/corporations profits.
In this case, Americas big tech — of which Trump recently merged some with the military — has determined copyright laws should not apply to them, and Trump is voicing their opinion (he doesn’t know how anything works).
He also fucked children
Raped.
You can’t be expected to have a successful AI program without the release of the full text of the Epstein files (minus protection for the victims, of course).
So what he’s saying is the billionaires funding ai can’t afford to do it legitimately
Copyright is woke now? xD
Good, keep convincing them that copyright is woke. And we don’t want anything woke right, wink wink
Sssh. This might be the first time in the last 100 years copyright isn’t EXPANDED for the benefit of publishers. I’ll hold my breath until we see if they figure out a way to reduce copyright only for silicon valley corporations while expanding it for the rest of us. Or not…
How very socialist of him
So why can’t I read them for free too? Only massive billion dollar companies get stuff for free?
I would like to announce that I am pioneering a new AI program. Give me access to all of the movies for free please.
Just do it and say “oopsie!”
Yep when Napster just linked people who shared files between them, it was the end of the world. So it’s fine when it’s bigtech / AI?
Yes, there are people who want to have authority and think that if they got to the very top - Google, Meta, whatever, or some government, - then their ideas about authority have become law.
In fact, of course, they are just jerks who’ll drop the soap at every step in prison for the rest of their lives when the problem is finally rectified, and it’s being slowly rectified.
What are you talking about? Things seem to be rapidly deteriorating to me. There are no problems being rectified.
Hear that college students? The President just gave you permission to pirate all your textbooks.
And that’s why I have an AI training library of movies and TV stored up.
I’ll get around to training an AI on it any day now, I’m sure.
“Piracy for me, not for thee.”
Can a human be expected to have a successful life when they have to pay for knowledge they need access to? I am not against the opinion that information should be free and freely accessible. But does this courtesy also extend to the common folk or is it exclusive to expensive machines and their owners? You wouldn’t download a United States government. da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
It’s amazing he can talk at all with both the dick and balls of every Nerd Reich billionaire he can find wedged into his mouth.
Remember kids: Copyright is only for the rich.
“You can’t be expected to get a successful higher education when every article, book, or anything else that you’ve read or studied, you’re supposed to pay for.”
