"I need it for my business plan to work out" is not a great legal argument for when you're trying to override others rights.

So what you're telling me is it's still a legal argument.
I laughed so hard at this but then realized that dumb and dumber is less dumb than our current reality lol
Ah, but yet...
"You can't be expected to get a successful higher education when every article, book, or anything else that you've read or studied, you're supposed to pay for."
Funny that when it was about protecting profits copyright was such a cornerstone principle but when it's about protecting profits it can also be set aside.
> law passes
> buy servers
> create piracy site
> call it AIbay
> have all kinds of things there under a synonymous name
> when interrogated tell them you have a proprietary technology that you won't release to competitors
So Pro Piracy argument ... So no more patents or copyrights
Not for you, silly, only if you're too rich and big!
Big-league bigly its a big fucking club and we ain't in. It
I'll setup a JellAIfin server immediately. It's just the regular Jellyfin code, but I am compiling my own version - it has "AI" added as a comment to every line of code before I compiled.
There was an episode of behind the bastards I was listening to a while back where they mentioned some dude who was using an AI tool to scrape the internet to steal other people's art, so people started doing something that prevented him from optimally stealing their art.
I can't remember what exactly, but the guy started whining that whatever people were doing was "illegal" bc it was damaging his tool he was using to steal other people's shit for his own profit. Like somebody telling you that it's illegal to prevent them from efficiently stealing your property bc it interferes with their livelihood. How dare you!
Anyway, that's the kind of vibes I get from this.
Time to ignore all the copyright and patents for my own ~~nefarious purposes~~ AI training
How am I supposed to train my neural network (my own brain) to be a filmmaker if I have to pay for each piece of media I train on (watch)?
"I am ~~hosting a pirate bay instance~~ AI" foolproof.
That's right, I'm torrenting all this stuff for my AI program...
Don't spend one more dollar on educational material. If a person had to pay for every textbook and online subscription, education would be impractical.
Brb training an llm on the criterion collection. It's for educational purposes.
Remember:
Copyright law as a whole will stay the same. In the court of law, you will need to prove that you indeed operate a very big AI company that indeed does AI things before they will let you off the hook for massive copyright infringement. You can't just use that excuse casually! Rules will be for thee, not the actual AI-companees.
"you can't have a successful government when every time I want to be President or have sex with minors or anything else you have the right to do as a rich, white man, you have to hear people get all judgy"
Holding companies responsible for the infringement of them using copyrighted materials without restitution to the creator is literally the only tool we have in ever changing current copyright laws, and we're watching it be waved away.
Sam Altman approves this message.
Hundred percent he got a script from a lobbyist to create this sound bite.
Sam Altman defending the ban on Republican state AI regulations in 2025:
Altman, during the hearing, said that Texas had been “unbelievable” in incentivizing major AI projects. “I think that would be a good thing for other states to study,” Altman said. He predicted that the Abilene site would be the “largest AI training facility in the world.” But Altman also later cautioned against a patchwork regulatory framework for AI.
“It is very difficult to imagine us figuring out how to comply with 50 different sets of regulations,” said Altman. “One federal framework that is light touch, that we can understand, and it lets us move with the speed that this moment calls for, seems important and fine.”
Aww, would it make it "difficult" for you to create your technocratic dystopia? 😭🎻
“A patchwork of regulation of technology is not beneficial for the country. We want to avoid that. Facial recognition has important roles—for example, finding lost or displaced children. There are use cases, but they need to be underpinned by values.”
Not beneficial for the country or the corporations? Always thinking about the children first, even back then. Please tell me more about how we're just too dumb to understand how all of this is for our own good.
"you cant POSSIBLY expect us, to respect HUMAN RIGHTS if we want progress? i mean the survival of the human species (me and my friends) relies on cheap and free labour and the starvation, death, and exploitation of the masses. if we want to SURVIVE as a species (me and my friends) WE GOTTA EXPLOIT THE PEOPLE"
This basically means some people are now owned by corporations or at least everything they do is owned by them.
He sure is 'getting rid of woke'. I've never seen a more ignorant man.
So they will bring the whole thing down, right? Right?
