So it's only piracy when poor people do it?

[–] jyl@sopuli.xyz 30 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Poor people aren't "running an industry"

[–] assembly@lemmy.world 29 points 2 weeks ago

Napster was…but it wasn’t owned by rich people and didn’t benefit rich people so it was targeted.

[–] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 63 points 2 weeks ago

Sounds okay to me. Fuck the AI industry.

Asking banks for permission would kill the robbery imdustry.

AI has brought nothing of value to the table. Just another grift.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

If anything, it's delgitimized the actually useful ML projects in medicine and data processing.

It doesn't actually kill AI, it would just kill any open source solution and create a monopoly for the handful of companies that either have all the data or can afford to pay for it.

There's like 5 publishing houses, 3 record companies and a couple of websites that "own" almost all training material.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Lol lmao

That's only if they want to try tonprofit off of it.

Free use still allows you to train your own AI.

And the tech would be better if nobody profited off of AI

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Copy left license would be the best scenario but I don't think that is what we are getting sadly. That being said, you need the big foundational models. The average individual cannot train their own AI from scratch.

[–] irq0@infosec.pub 20 points 2 weeks ago

You're saying that like it's a bad thing?

Then it deserves to die.

[–] Aeri@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

Isn't it true that historically when universities trained these things, they used their own data, "not randos on the internet" or "anything that wasn't nailed down" (random scraped copyrighted content).

GenAI could be ethical, it just, isn't, because corporations are assholes.

[–] owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 weeks ago

Don't tempt me with a good time

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 14 points 2 weeks ago

Then it should die.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 11 points 2 weeks ago

If it kills the ai industry thats fine. They can't survive in our current system with IP laws they shouldn't survive.

[–] PixelTron@lemm.ee 10 points 2 weeks ago

Nick Clegg can go fuck himself!

The solution presents itself!

[–] Binturong@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 weeks ago

scribbles notes Oh good!

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago

Dunno who this guy is, but he's either a techbro or doesnt know what hes talking about. It will kill LLM's and the art bots that work by stealing data, but thats not how all AI is trained. Make actual AI and not theft-bot and you wont have that problem.

[–] uberdroog@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That is how I feel about banks and money

You mean how laws stop the theft industry, and the murder industry... Like they should

Took a minute to figure out that this wasn't https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Clegg 🙀

Edit: Okay turns out it is the nick the useless clegg i thought it was some namesake since the photo in article looked different to what i remember... Wow what a bastard...

[–] dehyzer@piefed.social 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

...but it is that Nick Clegg

[–] OwlPaste@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

What what?! 😦 Looks like i lived under a rock 🤯

[–] ratel@mander.xyz 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It is, unfortunately.

As policy makers in the UK weigh how to regulate the AI industry, Nick Clegg, former UK deputy prime minister and former Meta executive, claimed a push for artist consent would “basically kill” the AI industry.

[–] OwlPaste@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Oh wow 😯😳 okay i lived under a rock, did not see that happening 😞
