Fine by me. Can it be over today?
Come on guys, his company is only worth $157 billion.
Of course he can’t pay for content he needs for his automated bullshit machine. He’s not made of money!
I need a seamstress AI to take over 10 million seamstress robots so I don’t have to pay 100million seamstresses for fruit of the loom underwear… Could you tech it how to do double well and then back up at each end with some zigzags? For free? I mean everyone knows zigzag!
Sadly this comes down to OpenAI petitioning Trump, and expecting trump to do anything that could stop a scam like AI is pointless.
🤞🤞 🙏
Sounds like another way of saying “there actually isn’t a profitable business in this.”
But since we live in crazy world, once he gets his exemption to copyright laws for AI, someone needs to come up with a good self hosted AI toolset that makes it legal for the average person to pirate stuff at scale as well.
🏴☠️
Good riddance. This version of AI is just a glorified search engine anyways
And it’s not even a good search engine either. It just spits out sarcastic jokes from barely up voted reddit posts.
I mean, if they are allowed to go forward then we should be allowed to freely pirate as well.
Don’t worry: the law will be very carefully crafted so that it will be legal only if they do it, not us.
In the end, we’re just training some non-artifical intelligence.
So all I need to do if I get caught torrenting a movie is say that im training an LLM for subtitles?
If training an ai on copyrighted material is fair use, then piracy is archiving
That sounds like a you problem.
“Our business is so bad and barely viable that it can only survive if you allow us to be overly unethical”, great pitch guys.
I mean that’s like arguing “our economy is based on slave plantations! If you abolish the practice, you’ll destroy our nation!”
Good point. I’ve never seen it framed this way before. Poignant.
Look we may have driven Aaron Swartz to suicide for doing basically the same thing on a smaller scale, but dammit we are getting very rich of this. And, if we are getting rich, then it is okay to break the law while actively fucking over actually creative people. Trust us. We are tech bros and we know what is best for you is for us to become incredibly rich and out of touch. You need us.
In case anyone is unfamiliar, Aaron Swartz downloaded a bunch of academic journals from JSTOR. This wasn’t for training AI, though. Swartz was an advocate for open access to scientific knowledge. Many papers are “open access” and yet are not readily available to the public.
Much of what he downloaded was open-access, and he had legitimate access to the system via his university affiliation. The entire case was a sham. They charged him with wire fraud, unauthorized access to a computer system, breaking and entering, and a host of other trumped-up charges, because he…opened an unlocked closet door and used an ethernet jack from there. The fucking Secret Service was involved.

The federal prosecution involved what was characterized by numerous critics (such as former Nixon White House counsel John Dean) as an “overcharging” 13-count indictment and “overzealous”, “Nixonian” prosecution for alleged computer crimes, brought by then U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts Carmen Ortiz.
Nothing Swartz did is anywhere close to the abuse by OpenAI, Meta, etc., who openly admit they pirated all their shit.
Good. Fuck off.
