    No, you can go fuck yourself. Why should the company that made the abomination of JIRA and confluence be permitted to make an llm?

      They’re not making an llm. He’s commenting on fair use and copyright laws. Copyright has been broken for a long time. AI just highlights it. It needs to be reimagined.

    You know what? I’ve decided that it’s very important for my personal development that I should have access to all books, music, movie and cultural artifacts of any kind for free. I reckon it’s fair use.

    So from now on, I will pirate everything I want to read, listen to or watch, and I will visit museums and art exhibits without paying the entry fee. Because it’s me and I’m special.

    I think it’s not controversial to say content creators need to get paid for the content they create. But I think we need to find a way to do that while adapting to this new era of AI.

      By making people building AI models to pay their fair share.

      Considering that they are developing something that will be taking away future profits from existing (and future) creators, they must pay proportionate licensing fees. If their business model cants sustain the payment of their licensing fees, they do not have a sustainable model. In which case they can GAGTGF.

        It’s similar to how music went from people buying albums to listening on iPods and phones. You can’t fight the tide, and if you’re not in their proposing solutions, you’ll have to live with someone else’s solution. Streaming (in its current form) isn’t great for artists, but the industry dragged it’s heals for so long they were left with no other choice.
