So all I need to do if I get caught torrenting a movie is say that im training an LLM for subtitles?
National security my ass. More like his time span to show more dumb "achievements" while getting richer depends on it and nothing else
Sadly this comes down to OpenAI petitioning Trump, and expecting trump to do anything that could stop a scam like AI is pointless.
Good. Fuck off.
My main takeaway is that some contrived notion of "national security" has now become an acceptable justification for business decisions in the US.
I'm fine for them to use copyrighted material, provided that everyone can do the same without reprecautions Fuck double standards. Fuck IP. People should have access to knowledge without having to pay.

If your business model is predicated on breaking the law then you don't deserve to exist.
You can't send people to prison for 5 years and charge them $100,000 for downloading a movie and then turn around and let big business do it for free because they need to "train their AI model" and call one of thief but not the other...

"How am I supposed to make any money if I can't steal all of my products to sell back to the world that produced them?"
Yeah, fuck that. The whole industry deserves to die.
