    1. Fuck AI
    2. This judge’s point is absolutely true:

    “You have companies using copyright-protected material to create a product that is capable of producing an infinite number of competing products,” Chhabria said. “You are dramatically changing, you might even say obliterating, the market for that person’s work, and you’re saying that you don’t even have to pay a license to that person.” 3. AI apologists’ response to that will invariably be “but it’s sampling from millions of people at once, not just that one person”, which always sounds like the fractions-of-a-penny scene 4. Fuck copyright 5. A ruling against fair use for AI will almost certainly deal collateral damage to perfectly innocuous scraping projects like linguistic analysis 6. We really need to regulate against AI — right now — but doing it through copyright might be worse than not doing it at all

    Ah yes. Replacing people that criticize your pals money making machines. What next, replace private people that you just don’t like?

      That’s crazy talk. You should put that idea on ICE.

    All use is fair use. Copyright should not exist.

      Don’t hold dystopian societies to utopian standards. Yes copyright sucks, and if it was gone things might be better. But also if it was gone corpos might just run more wild than they do now.

      I agree with you, but only if everyone is paid a living wage, aka universal basic income.

        As explained by Brian Eno in this 3 minute video.

      We all have to play by these damn rules.

      These silicon valley fuckers are getting away with what would get a library shut down. Or you and I jailed on a peer to peer network. The only difference is they’re making a way bigger profit to put you out of a job.

    I mean just force them go train on copyleft content. That solves the problem.

    Dont have enough copyleft content? Let’s make more.
