All I'm hearing is that pirating is A-OK as long as you claim it's for model training

[-] WatDabney@fedia.io 35 points 1 week ago

Sorry, but no. That's just the paper-thin excuse.

Pirating, like pretty much anything else that's sometimes a crime in the current US, is A-OK if you can buy enough judges and politicians.

The ruling explicitly does not allow pirating. It only lets you run ML training on legally acquired media.

They still haven't ruled on copyright infringement from pirating the media used to train, and they haven't ruled on copyright status of outputs (what it takes to be considered transformative).

This is judge Alsup, same guy who ruled in Oracle vs Google

I'm torrenting movies in order to develop my own AI, your honor. I rest my case. 😎

Wow you mean the state serves capital? I thought for sure it would once again fight for the rights of artists and their extremely profitable IP. \s \s \s

I’d feel better about this if meta actually produced anything of value and I was able to also violate their copyright, but they’re just fucking leeches bro

The tinternet is getting like the Wild West again, circa early 200s and Napster and all that... This will pass, dunno when or how but it will pass, or perhaps we will start getting everything paywalled so LLMs can't just scrape data without some sort of payment. I don't actually know many people that like AI nowadays

That's probably your social bubble. My company is currently deepthroating everything that has AI in its name. I jokingly mentioned they should rename the company to Jira&AI, the joke was not well received.

Anyway, most people I know (including me) are somewhere in the middle - not quite fans in the traditional sense, but definitely not disliking AI.

It is, but as many are artists in some ways it is that they dislike the most
