You can’t defeat the fascist mental illness with logic. Fascism is a fusion of corporation and state. The only rule of law is whatever the dictator(s) believe protects their regime/corporations profits.

You can’t defeat the fascist mental illness with logic.
More generally, you can’t reason people out of an opinion that they didn’t reason their way into in the first place.

You can’t be expected to have a successful AI program without the release of the full text of the Epstein files (minus protection for the victims, of course).

Good, keep convincing them that copyright is woke. And we don’t want anything woke right, wink wink

Don’t worry, it’ll still be rules for thee, but not for me. That’s how fascism works.

Sssh. This might be the first time in the last 100 years copyright isn’t EXPANDED for the benefit of publishers. I’ll hold my breath until we see if they figure out a way to reduce copyright only for silicon valley corporations while expanding it for the rest of us. Or not…

Copyright means a legal protection showing you own your own works: words written, audio recorded, and artwork created.
Poor people apparently don’t get that.

So, hypothetically speaking, if I pirate a bunch of stuff and I get caught, I can claim I used it to train an AI model and all charges are dropped? (According to his statement, not current applicable laws)

Of course not, the rules are for thee.
drmoose@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Theres a common misconception that downloading data is illegal when it’s generally sharing is what gets you in trouble. There are very few people who get fined for piracy downloads around the world.
GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 5 weeks ago
I believe it’s mostly illegal for both parties, but in practice less often enforced for the downloading party, as this enforcement would require too much resources for the enforcing side.
To give concrete examples, downloading pirated material is illegal in both the U.S and in Sweden, and afaik the latter is on par with the rest of the EU.

So why can’t I read them for free too? Only massive billion dollar companies get stuff for free?
I would like to announce that I am pioneering a new AI program. Give me access to all of the movies for free please.

I can. Don’t you have libraries in your country?

Yep when Napster just linked people who shared files between them, it was the end of the world. So it’s fine when it’s bigtech / AI?
rottingleaf@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Yes, there are people who want to have authority and think that if they got to the very top - Google, Meta, whatever, or some government, - then their ideas about authority have become law.
In fact, of course, they are just jerks who’ll drop the soap at every step in prison for the rest of their lives when the problem is finally rectified, and it’s being slowly rectified.
krashmo@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
What are you talking about? Things seem to be rapidly deteriorating to me. There are no problems being rectified.
skisnow@lemmy.ca 5 weeks ago
My thoughts exactly. You can’t expect to have a successful file sharing system if you have to get permission for everything you distribute, you guys!
jabjoe@feddit.uk 5 weeks ago
Well, there are some very successful file sharing systems. That horse did bolt with Napster.

And that’s why I have an AI training library of movies and TV stored up.

“I need it for my business plan to work out” is not a great legal argument for when you’re trying to override others rights.

Settle down, nerds. TACO just read from the card they gave him. He doesn’t think anything about AI. Of course, he’ll make the wrong decisions and cause utter chaos and strife but it’s not like he has an actual opinion about AI.

We shouldn’t be calling these AI programs successful. In the slightest. They’re counterfeiting human thought and work.
JimVanDeventer@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Can a human be expected to have a successful life when they have to pay for knowledge they need access to? I am not against the opinion that information should be free and freely accessible. But does this courtesy also extend to the common folk or is it exclusive to expensive machines and their owners? You wouldn’t download a United States government. da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

In a statement given during a press conference in the Oval Office, the president’s stance on the topic was clear:
“I’m a big reader, some say the biggest ever. And let me tell you - when you go into a bookstore, they have books costing like insane numbers, like 100.000 Dollars each minimum. Its an absolute disgrace. You have all these authors getting billions just for putting funny little characters on paper. The democrats… They jacked up the price so much, especially under Obama together with the crooked Clintons and sleepy Joe Biden, they were all in this room when it happened, they were all together. Its a shame. They did the same thing with eggs but I brought prices down like, immediately. Immediately. So fast everybody said “Wow” Because they never saw something like that and I will do the same for these books and newspapers. But all these writers and journalists, who are all producing propaganda for the radical left by the way, they are really terrible people - they’re earning trillions… I was speaking to Mr. ChatGPT the other day and he said “They’re ripping us off, Mr. President it’s a totally broken market, they are killing us.” And I agree, it’s a disgrace. A total disgrace. That’s why I’ll bring prices down by not only 100 % or 200 %, but probably more like 1,000 % in the next two weeks. You’ll never have seen lower prices for medication, let me tell you… And books too. So they’re will be big price cuts. Bigly.”

You can’t be expected to - broadly understand the world and your place in it - when every article, book, or anything else that you’ve read or studied, you’re supposed to pay for.

Don’t spend one more dollar on educational material. If a person had to pay for every textbook and online subscription, education would be impractical.

It’s only ok if you destroy the books in the process. Eating the pages as you read them is the most convenient way. So free food AND free books!

Just download digital copies of the textbooks and say you need them as training material for your own AI dataset when the copyright holders come after you.

I’m training a neural network. It’s just that the neural network is 1 layer with zero data reduction -so it’s only capable of printing the text exactly as the source material on my computer! AI finally works!

You don’t have libraries in the schools there in the USA? (It is a question, not sarcasm or something)
givesomefucks@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Not for textbooks…
Like, if your curious there’s a bunch of info out there about why the situation is so fucked.
But in general they release new editions almost every year, with the same information just shuffled so page numbers are different. Even really petty stuff like keeping the same practice work, but changing the order of answers so you need the most updated book every year.
empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 weeks ago
We do. The issue is at the college/university level, most courses require specific edition textbooks (they update them every 1-2 years) that the professors assign homework questions out of. You’ll be lucky if the school library has a copy more recent than the last 8 years.
Then on top of that, many professors will also use digital 3rd party homework services that are tied to a textbook access code that you only get with a new copy. So unless you pay up you can’t do homework and fail the class.
The whole system is fucking bullshit

rottingleaf@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Yes, one would expect human intelligence to benefit quite a lot from free access to information.
Become a more common occurrence too. Possibly an effect much stronger than that of AI requiring lots of computation with unpredictable shittiness of the output.
