Aaron Swartz was 100% opposed to all copyright laws, you remember that yah?
Yes, and he killed himself after the FBI was throwing the book at him for doing exactly what these AI assholes are doing without repercussion

My main takeaway is that some contrived notion of "national security" has now become an acceptable justification for business decisions in the US.
National security my ass. More like his time span to show more dumb "achievements" while getting richer depends on it and nothing else
"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.
🤞🤞 🙏
Oh no! How will I generate a picture of Sam Altman blowing himself now!?

Porque no los dos?
The ai race is over AND we abolish the copyright bullshit laws we have now?
I always felt using publicly available but copyrighted works could be ok but only if the model is publicly available as well
If AI gets to use copyrighted material for free and makes a profit off of the results, that means piracy is 1000% Legal. Excuse me while I go and download a car!!

Fair use doesn't mean shit if you're a pirate.
Arr, matey.
They are US based right?
So they literally do whatever they want anyway regardless of what any law might say.
AI always been about using stolen stuff
