It’s weird how AI has turned so much of the internet from its generally anti-copyright stance. I’ve seen threads in piracy and datahoarding communities that were riddled with “won’t someone please think of the copyright!” Posts raging about how awful AI was.
I maintain the same view I always have. Copyright is indeed broken, because of how overly restrictive and expansive it has become. Most people long ago lost sight of what it’s actually for.
The AI topic is botted massively, almost as much as political topics.
I don’t know who would benefit from a large portion of the Western youth being made to be disinterested in this emerging technology, but it isn’t the Western economies.
Copyright companies and big AI. Google stands to profit massively if they are the only ones with the budget for a “legal” LLM. In any other context, strengthening copyright laws would be met with riots but they have managed to convince a good portion of the population that it’s somehow in their best interest in the space of a year.
“Copyright” is an overloaded word that can both mean “IP/copyright law, it’s terms and enforcement” as well as “the rights of an author to decide how their work should be used”

That or China (probably both)
Yeah, whatever it is, it isn’t just a bunch of suddenly concerned citizens who discovered their love of copyright laws.

In the vein that LLM are just a tool? Wouldn’t it be legally a problem, if a photoshop filter had rules specifically to generate Sonic art?
Btw, why is that blue hedgehog still a thing? And still protected?
