A basic fundamental of copyright law and fair use is if the result is transformative. People literally do stuff like make collages with copyright works and it's fine in many cases.

Turning pictures into an AI model (and that's being really generous in my phrasing as if the pictures have anything to do with the math) is just about one of the most transformative things you can do with a picture.

This is like copyright 101 and if you're shocked you don't understand what you're talking about in regards to copyright.

Open AI has been a farce ever since they disabled access to GPT3 for the sake of security.

Hot take.

Memes are common things that have existed as long as humans have.

Historians of the future will not only understand our memes easily, but because they're (hopefully) more advanced future humans with better technology and culture they'll be sharing memes that put ours to shame.

They're not going to be confused.

They're going to cringe.

This could be fine if it didn't immediately send all of your data to the internet.

But as is, fuck that and fuck you Microsoft.

Windows told me I don't have permission to do something. On my computer. As an administrator. Using the command line.

Fuck Windows, fuck Microsoft and their controlling asses, and fuck co-pilot and Open AI for contributing to artificial intelligence not only being closed source and proprietary, but encouraging the United States government to make it literally illegal to do it on the open source field as well.

I've got no clue what China is really wanting with the seafood ban

To stir conflict and make Japan out to be the bad guy using misinformation.

No, that's about how it is on Linux.

Some drivers just work. Others? Absolute pain in the ass. If it doesn't work on first boot you're probably screwed.

Source: my laptops audio still doesn't work with Linux.

People at the internet archive literally gave away all the books they had in the library for free to as many people who wanted them, basically pretending they had a right to copy the books as many times as they desired as long as it was under the guise of being a library.

Not only did they deserve to lose this case, they displayed such arrogant weaponized stupidity in making that decision that I'm surprised they weren't trying to screw themselves over.

The internet archive is awesome, their decision in 2020 was fucking stupid

If you think those industries work on the competency of their programmers instead of the competency of their systems you've got a big surprise coming for you

We desperately, above all other issues, need to resolve the fact that big companies can win in court simply by paying until the other guy can't afford to keep dealing with the legal system.

It's incredibly convenient for companies.

Big companies like open AI can easily afford to download big data sets from companies like Reddit and deviantArt who already have the permission to freely use whatever work you upload to their website.

Individual creators do not have that ability and the act of doing this regulation will only force AI into the domain of these big companies even more than it already is.

Regulation would be a hideously bad idea that would lock these powerful tools behind the shitty web APIs that nobody has control over but the company in question.

Imagine the world is the future, magical new age technology, and Facebook owns all of it.

Do not allow that to happen.
