So it's only piracy when poor people do it?
- Poor people aren't "running an industry"
  
  Napster was…but it wasn’t owned by rich people and didn’t benefit rich people so it was targeted.
Sounds okay to me. Fuck the AI industry.
Asking banks for permission would kill the robbery imdustry.
- Hey now, be fair; It’s guzzled down all of our water too.
- Kill the artist industry. Oh yeah, rich cunts in England think art isn't a real career
AI has brought nothing of value to the table. Just another grift.
So what's the downside?
- 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.
You're saying that like it's a bad thing?
Then it deserves to die.
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.
Don't tempt me with a good time
Then it should die.
Nick Clegg can go fuck himself!
scribbles notes Oh good!
The solution presents itself!
That is how I feel about banks and money
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.
Promise?

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

- ...but it is that Nick Clegg
  
  What what?! 😦 Looks like i lived under a rock 🤯
- 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.
  
  Oh wow 😯😳 okay i lived under a rock, did not see that happening 😞
