There is a better way.

1. Licensing the content.
2. Track references that AI makes (no matter how small).
3. Pay rights holders.

And if you need something to help you figure out how to do it, maybe rely on your AI.

Funny isn't it, if you're a squillionaire tech bro then industrial scale theft is absolutely critical to our collective survival, and may not be criminalised.
On the other hand, if you steal a carrot because you're hungry, the fabric of civilisation will be irreparably damaged.

cgtygesen.bsky.social•10 days ago

The carrot is nowhere near as damaging as pirating a digital copy of a movie.

Good. Let it be over then.

doloresquintana.bsky.social•11 days ago

The whole reason that they're doing this is because they want to take over art by stealing artists' work and taking copyright away from artists. They know they can never create anything on their own, so this is the only way they can get control of it in their minds.

doloresquintana.bsky.social•11 days ago

This is how they monetize it and why they're pushing it so hard to the studios and the other executives in the entertainment industry. They want to take over but they also want to do away with the artists.

Have lost all regard for any studio that has "formed a partnership" with any AI member of the Mimetic Grifter Complex.

If real intelligence has to pay to access books, education and resources - so should artificial intelligence.

If screwing artists is the only way to get rich why don’t you fuck off !!

I mean, yeah. Lots of things are "over" because in order to do them you have to commit crimes.

It’s also game over if people and corporations refuse to use their AI crap.

ordinarylight.bsky.social•10 days ago

No human on earth has ever been trained on the corpus of all human information. The fact that these models perform as poorly as they do, given the resources they have access to suggests a kind of failure. This is just a pretext for blaming others when AGI fails to materialize.

photaculous.bsky.social•10 days ago

My movie trivia is getting a little stale. Better get training..

If only someone at openai had talked to a lawyer first. They could've stopped their obviously illegal plan before sinking billions into it.

Essentially a thief complaining he can’t be rich because they won’t let him keep what he stole or keep stealing to stay rich? 🤔

What is it with Silicon Valley types and the Art of the Con?

What's the matter, Sam? Forgot to have an "exit strategy"?

Over-leveraged. About to fail.

Spectacularly.

Every piece of copyrighted art I've ever put online, I've found in the banks of Gen AI apps. All taken without my consent. Back in the day, we called this, theft.

If we don't steal it first they will.

Cell phone companies are getting rich off your data when you send your broken phone back for a new one....and then they fund Elon.

davids8663.bsky.social•11 days ago

They could try licensing copyrighted works. The volume is less important than the quality.

sedahr.bsky.social•10 days ago

This guy is the big reason I hardly show any of my work online, and have trouble getting pieces (or prints) sold. It makes me wish he had a shock collar type of chip in his head to give him a jolt whenever those thoughts of making money comes to mind.

justinholbrook.bsky.social•9 days ago

Altman’s argument that we have to break the law to “protect the country”is wrong for so many reasons. I say this as a guy who has spent 20 years in tech / law / military.

All other industries license IP. Tech doesn’t get a pass.

alicebrockway.bsky.social•11 days ago

So he's a capitalist then?

Let’s not forget the utterly bogus hype about AGI which mechanizes past human conscious effort to create a woo woo world where inanimate things ‘think’. Tired of the Silicon Valley mechanics

How 'bout we train AI on Chuck Schumer so it can fold and rake-step itself into oblivion very, VERY slowly.

quillbo.bsky.social•9 days ago

Getting rich to make a product that is WORTHLESS. OpenAI has made nothing but a chatbot that knows nothing and is capable of nothing but generating hallucinations. And the data centers and power required to run this worthless technology is one of our current environmental threats.

quillbo.bsky.social•9 days ago

He's a smarmy fucking thief who needs to be stopped.

Don't believe me? Go read/listen to any of @edzitron.com's work in the last few years. Generative AI is nothing but a waste of money, energy, attention, and is destroying the ability of people to fucking think.

quillbo.bsky.social•9 days ago

OpenAI needs/deserves a movement in the #TeslaTakedown vein. Not only are Sam Altman and OpenAI massively worthless and destructive frauds, but Elon is invested in this nonsense too. Grok is just as useless and represents another part of his empire that can be devalued.

Just the latest in a long line of entities insisting themselves between creatives and their money. Giving a handful of tech virgins this much decision power over who can make a living in creative ways needs to be fought with as fierce resistance of anything else. They want power to shape our reality
