Fucking finally! Now let them fight.
I refuse to hope for a world where copyright and AI are both destroyed in one lawsuit because it’s too beautiful to ever be real.
I’m concerned how AI often leads to people to defend copyright. I fear it will come out of the fight stronger than ever, while not slowing AI in any meaningful way.
Oh, I’m not defending copyright- I just think that everyone should play by the same rules.
I agree, the big corporations, their CEOs, their shareholders, and their employees should follow in the exact same footsteps as Aaron Swartz. All of them.
For those that don’t know, Aaron was a hero.
The result is going to be some kind of deal where AI use requires to pay a certain percentage or something like $0.01 per token in copyright fees. This will be the end of open weight models you’re allowed to run locally on your PC. It’ll be “piracy”.
It will strengthen the AI corporations by allowing complete monopolization of AI.
Kind of an either/or deal here. If AI loses, copyright wins (and it’s David fucking Ellison, son of Oracle himself). If copyright loses, AI wins.
Yes, we do live in a boring, dumb, and ugly universe.
You and me both Boomer Doomer.
Just latching ointo the top comment: this page compares AI-generated music with the originals it blatantly stole from. It’s against Suno, not Anthropic, but it illustrates the overall issue pretty well.
Obligatory (for Germans): GEMA is not necessarily the good guy here. Neither are Sony and Warner.
the oligarchs will settle between themselves on a way to fuck us over that’s ok for both of them, as always.
Fucking crazy thing is that there have always been big ass people in the same room watching their shit get stolen. Warner, Disney, etc…
I can’t imagine the legal pain if all of the media entities stopped paying ball.
Let’s play the oligarch monopoly illegal antitrust violating merger game… CBS and Paramount is skydance which wants to merge Warner, all run by David Ellison, son of Larry Ellison, which is Oracle, which works with OpenAI, so it totally tracks they would want to sue Anthropic.
This strategy is super familiar. This is almost like how Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems, to obtain Java to sue Google over Android… Hmmmmmm
This might be the first time I’m actually rooting for Anthropic. I mean I do use Claude mostly because it’s cheap as hell on a subscription and Kimi has pretty nasty terms of use… But I don’t LIKE the company. But if it’s them vs the Zionellison family, they better win.
I wish them both a very successful lawsuit, that bankrupts their opponent.
Uh AI steals everyone’s work. How it’s legal I’ll never know.
because it was ruled to be a transformative work, like how someone making a video essay on a book/game/movie is (sometimes) not violating copyright.
If AI continues to be treated as transformative work, there should also be a valid case to kill licensing requirements for sampling music. After all, there you’re literally using small clips of someone’s music or similar to make undeniably new art.
To be fair, that should have happened a long time ago. Copyright law hasn’t been fit for purpose for a long time.
I saw this ruling and fully disagree.
So if I modify someone else’s art and call it my own, the courts will respect this precedent and let me go?
if you have enough lawyers and the art ia substantially different (different inteded use) they might
You got downvoted but this is just true lol
(Fuck AI slop though)
Bite each other’s dicks off
Poor baby Sony can’t defend itself
What about Suno and maybe others?
I miss groklaw. We’d all be feasting right about now.
Dunno, it has been fair use all along, why all of a sudden? (sarcasm)
