  • 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.

"Don't copy that floppy" funded by rich people, or the more recent "You wouldn't download" with pirated song and font. Fucking hypocrites.

That’s a myth. The music was licenced, as was the font.

They’re referring to a font used in promotional materials, rather than the advert itself.
