@joelanman I've seen some other versions of this joke but this is the campy best
@rgarner I've been trying to think of a good one for a while!
@joelanman ah, there you go, you see. Preparation is key, followed by looking like it was off the cuff
@joelanman Kind of worked for YouTube. Go Section 230!!
@joelanman
A. No it isn't, and B. If it really is then don't do it
@Wolven
@cferdinandi
And that's the reply to the reply to the joke
@joelanman @Wolven
@joelanman we have to choose if we’re willing to live in a world that doesn’t have such a fabulous coat.
Small price to pay for such elegance
@joelanman can I have a go?
Impossible to power the hell forge without immolating innocent souls says demon.
@joelanman Is anyone actually complaining about copyrighted material being in the training data?
Or are they, back here in the real world, complaining about copyrighted material making its way into the output because the trivially easy (not "impossible") task of preventing that hasn't been done since it renders the technology immature for market?
@joelanman Molly White: “This is kind of like saying, ‘I can’t be a multimillionaire without robbing a bank, and so therefore I should be allowed to rob banks so that I can be a multimillionaire.’” https://youtu.be/sLYzYWOPJbk
@joelanman At least they are being honest about it....
I am guessing the issue here is the commercial nature of the enterprise? Researchers are allowed to make copies of copyright material for computational analysis as long as the purpose is non-commercial research. (UK copyright law; IANAL.)
@joelanman Students say impossible to create homework without plagiarizing copyrighted answers
@joelanman To be fair to Cruella Devile (Cruel: A Devil), she offered to buy at least some of those puppies.
If your success plan is more evil than hers (which is fictional, so taken to an extreme), it's probably not good for ANYONE.
@joelanman I stopped reading at the overly broad definition of copyright. Essentially, copyright reserves the right of reproduction of a work.
While nations have slight variations on that theme, most of them agree that other uses including derivative works are acceptable. Otherwise, anyone that has been to an art gallery would not be allowed to paint.
@msb @joelanman The reason copyright exists is to make it possible for people to dedicate their time to becoming good in something like photography, art etc. in a capitalistic society.
Do human created derivate works threaten that? No. But AI generators do. And that's why every government is currently discussing whether that falls under fair use or not. It's a new thing.
Spoiler alert: the EU has already decided it's not fair use.
