- Nick Clegg, former Meta executive and UK Deputy Prime Minister, has reiterated a familiar line when it comes to AI and artist consent.
- He said that any push for consent would “basically kill” the AI industry.
- Clegg added that the sheer volume of data that AI is trained on makes it “implausible” to ask for consent.
Then it should die.
This is like saying “if we had to ask for consent, the human race would die.” Fucking creepy, rapist vibes.
No, it’s not like saying that.
Please stop trying to use rape as a way to get an emotional response for something unrelated.
Cool, so I’ll get started on building an automated business that sells cheap access to all the music, movies and shows on the streaming services.
Getting consent for each title would basically kill my business and would be implausible, so I’ll just assume it’s ok.
If a business cannot survive without breaking the law, then it is not a business but a criminal organisation.
Contrary to popular belief among useful idiots, copyright and patent laws are not there to protect the working class.
If copyright and patent laws actually protected workers, why have we not seen rulers fight back against them until now?
This should be eye-opening to most of you, but that would involve admitting you were wrong.
Most people can’t do that.
I have a proposition. Raid them with police and search their computers for stolen data like you would do with your citizens.
oh noes
Look, these goddamn assholes have got in their head that they have a right to profit.
NOBODY HAS A RIGHT TO PROFIT.
You have a right to try to create a profit and there are rules to that. You’re gonna lose your billions in investment if you can’t plaigerize content?..fuck you, your loss, and you shoulda fucking known better when the idea was presented to you.
Assholes
If being declined concent is going to kill your industry then maybe your industry deserved to die.
Fucking rapist mentaility right there.
My thought exactly. If consent isn’t needed, what other actions do they deem justified without consent?
This is not a IP-issue, this is about human rights.
I’m ok with “ai” dying
Great, let’s do that.
Same thing for most of billionaires’ income sources.
“Respecting [insert human right] would kill [insert industry].”
hence why they push so heavily for automation, it makes it possible to earn about the same profit while respecting human rights. (nobody has a right to a job)
If asking for permission is going to kill an industry, then that industry should be killed.
In principle I agree. The problem is that there are countries which don’t care about respecting law and if you kill AI in the West, all that will happen is the West will get left behind.
So I can steal all their shit too, right? It would “Implausible” for me to do so.
correction: will kill people’s attempts to make billions out of other people’s art. Otherwise inquisitive people will continue to do non-profit research this way or another.
Actually here is a question to you: Would you be ok if the law stated you don’t need permission if it is non-profit and open source? Yea I thought so bitch.
Kill the AI industry? Sweet. As an artist I do not consent.
Oh, so it’d be ok to get movies, pictures, books, etc. without asking the right owners for us too? GREAT.
