Yeah where's our antitrust enforcement?

The oligopoly thing has definitely been fucking everything up for decades.

I don't think "burns herself" is quite the turn of phrase I would've chosen but then I don't like the taste of boot leather so... yeah.

Wilhoit's Law

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect

Glad he's saying it instead of tip-toeing around it.

Where's batman when you need him...

Damn I guess I won't complain about blurry copies of old schematics after all. That's a nightmare.

Ah yes, socialism for corporations and for us peons, go fuck yourself-ism.

They probably did. My parents combined didn't make $50k in the 70s. They didn't even make that by the late 80s at best. We were in the lower middle class. I'm pretty sure 50k in 78 would've been a lot of money. I recall the new family sedan costing about $7k in the mid 70s which works out to about $38k today... which is probably in the ball park.

I would because it uses the word "sorry".

Depends on how close it is... But at least they are doing the effort of writing vs merely coming up with prompts for the AI.

Engineers tend to think practically? Idk.

Anyway I appreciate the explanations. I mostly get it and have a sense of where to direct my subsequent investigations.

Appreciate the clear explanation.

I'm using a Spigen for my android phone. Really impressed with how long it's held up.

I shudder to think how much Apple Pants cost.

We can only hope he pays for this. Or anything else he's done.

I wish you luck. I work with too many people stuck there.

Only the rabid right would say batshit crazy crap like that.

That's a terrible analogy.

Reading a book designed to instruct you how to do tasks is not the same thing as training generative AI with novels, say, to write a novel for you.

The user of the AI benefits from the work and talent of the authors with little effort of their own.

Generative AI training is not the same thing as human inspiration. And transformative work has this far has only been performed by a human. Not by a machine used by a human.

Clearly using a machine that simply duplicates a work to resell runs afoul of copyright.

What about using a machine that slightly rewords that work? Is that still allowed? Or a machine that does a fairly significant rewording? What if it sort of does a mashup of two works? Or a mashup of a dozen? Or of a thousand?

Under what conditions does it become ok to feed a machine with someone's art (without their permission) and sell the resulting output?
