  • Tell that to OpenAI. They’re not the only ones who have come out against IP law in the wake of the kerfuffle about how it relates to AI.

    This is one of those cases where two groups seem like they are united on a subject but aren’t really. OpenAI claims they want to abolish copyright for the good of themselves and AI, but that isn’t really true. They just want immunity from it, complete death of copyright doesn’t benefit them or any of the companies, since they’d lose their moral high horse against civilians using their material without paying them, as well as their ability to legally retaliate.

    Really their claimed stance against copyright doesn’t undermine any of the anarchist and pirate arguments against IP law as it is today and as a concept, it doesn’t even align with it. It’s no different than right wingers saying there’s a war on science or that they want to protect women and children from groomers. It’s just obfuscating or lying about their intentions. OpenAI is just claiming their against copyright because it’s easier to swallow than saying they wish to be immune from copyright, maybe even be able to usurp individual people’s copyrights outright.




  • The AI haters here are just flat out hypocrites, I mean why are you on this instance? Be honest, it was probably for !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com, the largest community here (and one of the largest on Lemmy), maybe you didn’t and in that case maybe you just don’t understand the main mission of dbzer0 and the fact that copyright isn’t something we care about, but for those who do it is hypocritical if not downright asinine to support and participate in piracy but also say that “It’s important to respect intellectual property” when people discuss AI projects and training of AIs. I mean if you pirate movies or games you certainly aren’t respecting copyrights yourself. Maybe you think it’s different but those companies feel just as offended, and it’s evident from their sleazy efforts to fight against piracy.

    There are so many arguments that can be made against AI and might even apply in certain situations (Corporate monster AIs like OpenAI) but this one is just fucking stupid, and you all make yourselves sound like trolls when you come here whining about the importance of copyright and intellectual property.
