    If this passes, piracy websites can rebrand as AI training material websites and we can all run a crappy model locally to train on pirated material.

        They monetize it, erase authorship and bastardize the work.

        Like if copyright was to protect against anything, it would be this.

    Please let it be over, yes.

    Nobody even tries to write code from scratch anymore. I think it will have a lot of negative effects on programmers over time.

    Fuck Sam Altmann, the fartsniffer who convinced himself & a few other dumb people that his company really has the leverage to make such demands.

    “Oh, but democracy!” - don’t you see, that ship has sailed. Also, you don’t give a single fuck about democracy, you’re just scared because a chinese company offers what you offer for a fraction of the price/resources.

    Which will ultimately unveil the scam you and your tech bros have been running for a decade now.

    Yes, I’ve been listening to Ed Zitron.

      gosh Ed Zitron is such an anodyne voice to hear, I felt like I was losing my mind until I listened to some of his stuff

        Yeah, he has the ability to articulate what I was already thinking about LLMs and bring in hard data to back up his thesis that it’s all bullshit. Dangerous and expensive bullshit, but bullshit nonetheless.

        It’s really sad that his willingness to say the tech industry is full of shit is such an unusual attribute in the tech journalism world.

          It’s really sad that his willingness to say the tech industry is full of shit is such an unusual attribute in the tech journalism world.

          What is interesting is if he didn’t pretty regularly say in so many words " why the fuck AM I the guy who is sounding the alarm here?? " I would be much more skeptical of his points. He isn’t someone that is directly aligned with the industry, at least not in an “authoritative expert capable of doing a thorough takedown of a bubble/hype mirage” sense that you would expect someone sounding the alarm on a bubble to be. I mean I can tell the guy likes the attention (not in a bad sense really), but he seems utterly genuine in the attitude of " wtf, well ok I will do it… but like seriously I AM the guy who is sounding the alarm here? This isn’t honestly my direct area of expertise? I will provide you a thorough explantion with proof… but my argument really isn’t complicated, it is just ‘business doesn’t make money why will no one acknowledge that’ and it breaks my brain that people that are experts in directly adjacent/relevant things can’t see this…? am I high? "

          … cus yeah Ed Zitron, that is how a lot of us fucking feel right now.

          (these aren’t direct quotes, I was summarizing, go watch/listen to some of Ed Zitron’s stuff, none of his arguments hinge on anything unreasonable or especially complicated, which is the worrying part…)

      It seems like their message was written specifically for the biases the current administration holds. Calling China PRC is an obvious example. So it was written by idiots for idiots apparently.

    Getting really tired of these fucking CEOs calling their failing businesses “threats to national security” so big daddy government will come and float them again. Doubly ironic its coming from a company whos actually destroying the fucking planet while it achieves fuck-all.

    Oh no not the plagiarism machine however would we recover???

    Please fail and die openai thx

    Also copyright is bullshit and IP shouldn’t exist especially for corporate entities. Free sharing of human knowledge and creativity should be a right. Machine plagiarism to create uninspired mimicries isn’t a necessary part of that process and should be regulated heavily

      Sam Altman hasn’t complained surprisingly, he just said there’s competition and it will be harder for OpenAI to compete with open source. I think their small lead is essentially gone, and their plan is now to suckle Microsoft’s teet.
