    In this case that’s exactly what we need, someone with more money than god that can set precedents to protect the authors and artists that need it the most.

        Correct. If anything, Disney is only fighting somebody else exploiting their employees so they can protect their right to exploit their employees.

          It does if it only benefits evil empires. The open source tools can’t afford the price which only leaves the big AI companies that can and Disney who holds the data.

          All this will do is add a fat price tag and censorship. Artists will not get paid and AI will not go away, the jobs will still be lost. It’s the worst of both worlds.

          So you really think now that Meta pirated all possible books (and argued they just didn’t seed them) the normal guys will get the same treatment?

      So you’re saying copyright and patent laws only exist to help rich people?

      I guess that would make all of the workers defending them ‘useful idiots’ then.

        Paraphrasing Churchill, if AI companies were plagiarizing hell’s works I would make at least a favourable reference to the devil.
