The latter part makes sense to me tbh. Machines should not allowed to compete with humans (in creative endeavours) because it is an intrinsically unfair competition that further erodes the rights of those humans who are more vulnerable, in the circumstance that is opposite to the intent of having machines around in the first place. They are supposed to do our beast-of-burden work, not make it so that our only pending value to be extracted by capitalism is beast-of-burden work.

What I’m not sure I buy is the idea that the “countless works” generated by AI actually compete with the original, in particular if they are non-infringing. Let’s say I take the work of an author to train an AI on their style. The author writes exclusively noir; I instruct the AI to generate college drama in the same style. Are the new works competing? The author won’t offer me a college drama in the first place.

My sources indicate that, as a natural intelligence, I can recommend feeling awesome.

Huh. The things I miss out of these days!

I’m only three (3) active (and hopefully semi/official) communities away from ditching r/ and moving completely to c/; for most of everything else I’ve found quite sufficient activity on Lemmy + Mastodon. Alas, since “representatives moving their community to lemmy” is not the kind of stuff you can enhance yourself unless you are an admin of those, I’m stuck on waiting.

I’m quite lost (disinterested) on MCU stuff as of late, what’s going on about Thor? Is there a game?

Just because a law exists, doesn’t make it good. Even getting good laws made these days in the first place often requires lobbying, under-the-table deals and such.

Or just look at ICE. Tell me exactly how are they not corrupt.

What’s corrupt about slavishly enforcing IP law for RIAA

You really typed that without even an ounce of self-awareness?
