Dear Mr. Clegg

I have started a business, selling the contents of your house

I knew when I launched I did not have legal access your house

Without this access my company will not be profitable

Others have told me I have a flawed business model, but I disagree

Please advise how I should proceed

While selling your stuff from your house, anything I do not sell I will burn alongside some car tyres I found because I don't care about damaging the environment.

AI is like a dodgy warehouse selling stolen cars.

Ok, it’s simple: Home taping is killing music, but computer programs slurping your entire work so they can impersonate you, copy your work and drive you out of your job is “progress”. See?

He’s got a new book out in September, you might want a copy of that, too, y’know, to share with friends.

What a great suggestion! I could set up a photocopying businesses, flogging copies of his book for £2. It’ll save people loads of money and I’m sure he won’t mind… 😉

Unworkable for whom? That's like a burglar saying if you put up that electric fence I can't make a living.

What happened to the old anti pirating commercials, they should rework them for an anti AI campaign.

You wouldn't steal* a car**.

What happens when you’ve sold off all his stuff?

thepeterkelly.bsky.social•1 day ago

I assume he'll get new stuff, and I'll sell that.
So long as he keeps buying stuff, my business is solid.

Also, he has neighbors and coworkers that have stuff when I'm ready to expand.

garethrwood.bsky.social•1 day ago

Nicely put.

And sure, when I keep taking all the furniture from them, I inevitably scuff it up, and eventually I'm grabbing and further damaging the increasingly busted furniture I already sold them, buy I'm confident eventually I'll be the only one selling furniture.

Dear Mr Clegg,
I copied your mum. There may be about 215 of them headed your way. Might be time to stock up on burn cream, She's looking very spanky.

Hey Mr. Clegg, mabby, now hear me out, use the AI you are so proud of to 'solve' this problem you have

Clegg is such a fucking Silicon Valley bitch

My entire drug dealing business will collapse if heroine isn't legalized right now.

If hard drugs are ever legalised, Westminster will set up a pre-emptive fast lane and corner the market...

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Peter.
I really wonder if these people think what they sound like to us. As you point out IMO.

This is just like the CEO of OpenAi declaring the “AI race” was over if they weren’t allowed to ignore copyright. (Well maybe a little less ugh because he also was couching it as National Security.)

worldofcardboard.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Hm, I see Mr. Clegg. Any other things that might kill AI? Maybe faster and in a way that causes physical pain to AI execs? So we can avoid them, of course. Everyone has your health and well-being as a priority.

Exactly this.

You wouldn't download a house

barrynorton.bsky.social•14 hours ago

I guess if you weren't buying DVDs before 2008, you might misunderstand this.

thepeterkelly.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Funny enough, it recently came to light that the font used in those ads was stolen.

barrynorton.bsky.social•13 hours ago

In the 'you wouldn't steal a car' ads.

But do you remember the point of the 'you wouldn't download a car' meme?

thepeterkelly.bsky.social•12 hours ago

Missed that meme to be honest

I'm an old man. 😃

Ugh, Clegg. Once a spineless worm, always a spineless worm.

lilredpt.bsky.social•1 hour ago

Well I think it’s about time that people can just go into their neighborhoods home and sell what they think they can make money at!!!

thepeterkelly.bsky.social•1 hour ago

Past time!
And the cats out of the bag now, there is no going back if we want to remain competitive.

Clegg would doubtless ask you which one of his many houses you’re talking about.

"But we might not be able to keep as much money!"

Truly the greatest tragedy any human has ever faced, Sam.

Incredibly good response to his fatuous nonsense. It does need to be presented to him, ideally publicly and demanding a response. I doubt anyone reading it here is likely to be able to effect a change regarding this and it would be a shame for it to go to waste.

thepeterkelly.bsky.social•15 hours ago

I would LOVE to be able to ask him this myself.

finncullen.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Strangely they (you know, them) keep themselves quite insulated from being asked questions publicly that they don't have control over. Accountability is something that only happens to other people.
