If you owned a store, then a Walmart setup next to it and Walmart rolled out some new barcode system that your scanners didn’t work on how the hell would that benefit you?
Not only are the already bigger, they are getting efficiencies they aren’t sharing with your business. You want open protocols, you want tool sharing, you want the market as a whole to be getting more efficient. You don’t want some company that already won able to pulverize by sheer size anyone who competes.

No, it’s very obviously not a win for the little guy.
If you can’t learn from public performances, art dies. That’s all of art for thousands of years.

So what will happen to art if we only disallow AI models from learning from copyrighted performances, whilst still allowing them to do so from public domain and licensed works (and obviously not changing anything for humans who seek inspiration)?
