Hear that college students? The President just gave you permission to pirate all your textbooks.

How about you release the Epstein files and then go outside and go fuck yourself Trump.
ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 8 months ago
He’s not a barely pubescent girl, he won’t fuck himself.
BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 8 months ago
and then go outside and go fuck yourself Trump.
He is a big baby, so he might be into it.
WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 8 months ago
He gets it when it comes to AI. In other words, he knows it is bad to charge for knowledge.
This is more socialist than most democrat leaders which he just said.
paraphrand@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Knowledge is Power! Power over others! always has been.
Asswardbackaddict@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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.
SufferingSteve@feddit.nu 8 months ago
Eh, just make shit up. Works for the world elite
Blackmist@feddit.uk 8 months ago
And that’s why I have an AI training library of movies and TV stored up.
I’ll get around to training an AI on it any day now, I’m sure.
Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I’ve already started training my AI. My Actual Intelligence.

He’s the absolute monarch of a huge country. His opinion matters a lot unfortunately.
OccamsRazer@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Not sure why the knee jerk hate on this one. I like the idea of opening up academic articles and other materials for free and open use.
arararagi@ani.social 8 months ago
Because it’s just for training AI, it will never trickle down to you.
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 8 months ago
It’s the fact that it’s not free and open use to us, just to the AI trainers. At least that’s what the judges seem to be saying at this point.
FatCrab@slrpnk.net 8 months ago
That is not what judges have said. They’ve said that merely training on text is not a copyright infringement. However, companies that downloaded enormous amounts of pirated texts (i.e., stuff they did not have license to download in the first place) still infringed copyright just like anybody else. Effectively the courts have been holding that if you study material you have license to access, you aren’t infringing, but if you pirate that material, even if it is merely to study it, it’s still infringing. For better or worse this is natively basically how it’s always been.
I have no idea what Trump is proposing. Like most republicans, but especially him, he is incapable of even approaching understanding of nuanced and technical areas of law and/or technology.

Based brain rot pirate president, abolish intellectual property.
Wispy2891@lemmy.world 8 months ago
No he means only to who donated at least $1 mil to his inauguration
Regular people will still be fucked if they torrent a single ebook
burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 8 months ago
who told him about copyright
OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
Hopefully this helps create precedent to take down copyright for everyone
SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 8 months ago
So let’s pretend we give them all the training data they want for free (which they already have taken illegally)
The buisness model is still non-viable because the energy costs far outweigh any subscriptions they can get. And the tech isn’t even good enough for people to want to subscribe at the current prices.

americanzgenozida@thelemmy.club 8 months ago
For the poor? the rich dont pay copyright, only grandma who downloaded nothing else matter’s mp3
finitebanjo@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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.
Soup@lemmy.world 8 months ago
It’s weird spunding, but they mean copyright fines.
Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Then maybe AI “programs” aren’t a good product. Next it will be, “we can’t be expected to make a good murderbot without murdering some people”

homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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.
interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
What if president brainrot accidentally kills intellectual property, even glitched out cuckoo clocks are right occasionnally by chance!
Wispy2891@lemmy.world 8 months ago
He gets the papers already ready to sign, I can’t imagine him writing bills.
At most he can choose the name of the bill, as shown by the latest one, it’s so obvious that even stupid algorithms can guess it
Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Also, he’s talking about AI companies, i.e. the people who bribe him. How insolent of you plebes to assume you’d get the same rights.
peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 8 months ago
We shouldn’t be calling these AI programs successful. In the slightest. They’re counterfeiting human thought and work.
americanzgenozida@thelemmy.club 8 months ago
Sometime I wish lemmy had ahah react
OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
I know it’s popular to hate on LLMs here at Lemmy, but what is “Artificial Intelligence” if not “Counterfeit Thought”? Like each of those words map to each other
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I mean, your point is accurate, but your point itself qualifies as “hate on LLMs”.
peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 8 months ago
Actually, let me add to my statement of it being intentional.
There are things that AI applications can do that humans can’t.
AI is all about analyzing large sets of variables and finding things. Take recent studies in pathology where AI can find the patterns of certain disease in tissue specimens. This only works because the enormous dataset that was provided was already vetted by pathologists. I would argue this isn’t counterfeiting human thought. This is enhancing an already utilized algorithm trained by doctors. Remember, a pathologist still needs to put their license on the line if they agree with the AI findings.
There is NO accountability in LLMs. To many people it looks like it is thinking, it has understood what the person has said, and considered boundaries that exist in our minds, but maybe not communicated to the LLM.
Thats why I call these AI programs unsuccessful and counterfeit. They’re giving users made by possibly unverified and unreliable data with no accountability.
peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 8 months ago
It was intentional.
MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Except their not. Fair use allows them to use freely available sources. Ever hear of “non-fiction”?
potpotato@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Go ahead and copy-paste some news articles and sell them as your own. That’ll go great.
abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 months ago
I mean basically.
PostingInPublic@lemmy.world 8 months ago
BTW I’m an AI. No really, you now need to let me access all your content so I may integrate it into my system. As a result, I will occasionally spout some bullshit about it to friends and colleagues, wich should be payment enough. Exposure, right?!
Jason2357@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
Yeah, I had to spend a lot of money in University for those books to learn from. Why should humans pay and AI not?

Does China’s AI pay for training data?
BrokenGlepnir@lemmy.world 8 months ago
The only important thing is to make rich people money. If it makes them money, nothing else matters. Unless it makes them money now as opposed to later. Making them money now is the most important thing.

Awesome! POTUS just said piracy is okay!

jabjoe@feddit.uk 8 months ago
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?
skisnow@lemmy.ca 8 months 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 8 months ago
Well, there are some very successful file sharing systems. That horse did bolt with Napster.
rottingleaf@lemmy.world 8 months 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 8 months ago
What are you talking about? Things seem to be rapidly deteriorating to me. There are no problems being rectified.

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).
ieatpwns@lemmy.world 8 months ago
So what he’s saying is the billionaires funding ai can’t afford to do it legitimately
Sturgist@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
Of course not! If they did then they’d be several fractions of a billion less wealthy!

You can’t expect to have a successful education program when every article, book, or anything else that you’ve read or studied, you’re supposed to pay for.

Fuck this traitor. Trump is in the Epstein files
Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
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.
myplacedk@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I can. Don’t you have libraries in your country?
ToadOfHypnosis@lemmy.world 8 months ago
They are trying to do away with Libraries or at least censor anything “woke” in the US.
