own and operate our own local open source LLMs away from the corpos
LLM’s LOL but you do understand that you can have only that little wooden cart while they are driving all the Ferraris and Porsches, don’t you?
Comment on Music industry giants allege mass copyright violation by AI firms

RIAA is evil. AI is good for us plebs while it’s still legal for us to own and operate our own local open source LLMs away from the corpos, in the same way the internet is a net good because it’s free and open and gives us power to practice communism (information sharing, hacking and open source).
All regulation will be aimed squarely at that, concentrating power in the hands of the few away from the proletariat.
Corpos will pay any fees and fines as a cost of doing business and acquire all licenses and reach private agreements with publishers out of reach for the common man or small business, all the while passing the cost of all this onto the consumer eventually.
IP law does not benefit you and you will never truly benefit from it.
Don’t simp for corpos.

still better than not having anything while they’d still drive all those supercars

They're usually always propping up their whole operation on a series of open source wooden carts they picked up off the Internet. Those carts are the foundation that makes everything work.

Even by your analogy, yes I’d rather have a wooden cart compared to carrying things in my hands.
That said your analogy doesn’t apply to tech. “It just doesn’t okay” isn’t a very satisfying answer from a logic standpoint, but as the other user pointed out almost all corporate software is built upon, or massively, and I mean massively relies upon the efforts of Open Source software.
I can’t really think of any other industry like this or an analogy for this, but that is how it works. Example: GNU/Linux is FOSS, and is the go-to for server software for businesses, and it’s starting to creep into end user products too, from Dell laptops to Raspberry Pi to the Steam Deck (if you’re familiar with that - Proton is also open source).

Its honestly sad how many people I see on Lemmy cheering on corporate IP law because GRRM is pissed off at not getting a few million more royalties by being included in a training set.

Is RIAA wanting full control over the AU tech or do they want AI to be banned from music completely? Their stance will dictate who I support between two massive evils
Gsus4@programming.dev 4 months ago
I think it’s pretty clear they want to own it, not ban it.
First, they will use the rights of artists to gather popular and lawmaker support in their war against AI-content, then big labels will integrate it to turn around and screw creators over. It’s a classic.

I guess my support goes to AI companies this time, even though I don’t like it.
