OpenAI is begging Parliament to allow it to use copyrighted works because it's "impossible" for the company to make money without them.

    Then don’t… I mean it’s piracy so is he going to join us in the high seas?

    I know how it feels man. Every time I try to sell bootleg DVDs from the trunk of my car, the cops shut me down. Big copyright is just killing the free market, I say.

    Then fucking don’t. I’d celebrate if AI just fucking dies and we go back to our old days where people actually did real work to produce shit. I’m so fucking sick of the AI hype, it’s ruining everything.

      LLMs have improved my education, work life, and general knowledge search. I get more time to spend living my life and less trying to find one dude’s stacked change post from 2009 that fixed my problem.

      They allow me to access information the way I learn and operate in a way that textbooks, college education, video courses, or online classes have never allowed me to do in my entire life.

      That being said, the general AI buzz and buzzwords need to die, the real positives need to be celebrated.

    Children also learn to reading and writing using copyrighted works, often from borrowed books that they aren’t paying for. Some corporations would love if everyone had to pay individually, maybe per use, to access copyrighted material, and New York Times and American pro sport leagues would love if they could actually own recollections of copyrighted material, but neither of these is good for normal people.

    OpenAI is right. Almost everything of value on the internet is under copyright, and very little on the internet has clearly and unambiguously specified licensing information. If the software can only be trained on content that clearly allows training, the model isn’t going to “know” anything about anything since Steamboat Willie and it isn’t going to use broken dialects of older English from being limited to only public domain works that have been digitized and made available as public domain (reprints may not be public domain).
