I'm fine for them to use copyrighted material, provided that everyone can do the same without reprecautions Fuck double standards. Fuck IP. People should have access to knowledge without having to pay.

PS. I know this might be an unpopular opinion

Edit: typos

So all I need to do if I get caught torrenting a movie is say that im training an LLM for subtitles?

Then perish, OpenAI. If your only innovation is a legal loophole then you did nothing.

Good. Fuck off.

Then die. I don't know what else to tell you.

If your business model is predicated on breaking the law then you don't deserve to exist.

You can't send people to prison for 5 years and charge them $100,000 for downloading a movie and then turn around and let big business do it for free because they need to "train their AI model" and call one of thief but not the other...

Sadly this comes down to OpenAI petitioning Trump, and expecting trump to do anything that could stop a scam like AI is pointless.

My main takeaway is that some contrived notion of "national security" has now become an acceptable justification for business decisions in the US.

"How am I supposed to make any money if I can't steal all of my products to sell back to the world that produced them?"

Yeah, fuck that. The whole industry deserves to die.

National security my ass. More like his time span to show more dumb "achievements" while getting richer depends on it and nothing else

Porque no los dos?

The ai race is over AND we abolish the copyright bullshit laws we have now?

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 day ago

I always felt using publicly available but copyrighted works could be ok but only if the model is publicly available as well

[–] Zier@fedia.io 18 points 1 day ago (7 children)

If AI gets to use copyrighted material for free and makes a profit off of the results, that means piracy is 1000% Legal. Excuse me while I go and download a car!!
