The double standards of citizen vs companies when it comes to laws should rightfully called out.
However, am i the only one who hopes they do get away with it.
Intellectual property has always felt disgusting to me. Knowledge is to be used and shared, not exploited to feed ego.
Copyright cannot die quick enough.
This is also how a certain nation where this concept does not exist has become the defacto factory of the world. We have criminalized local competition for the arbitrary exclusivity of those who thought it -and filled in the paper work first.
33It's cute that you think AI is going to kill copyright. Mark my words, copyright will continue to protect the big players and crush the little ones as it always does. Big AI corps will be protected by copyright laws.
6AI is going to kill copyrightHumans should kill copyright once they realize how detrimental it is.
Ai is the most obvious sign yet that walling of intellectual ideas and restricting freedom of inspired thoughts is a incredibly nonsensical thing to do.
I am not a fan of corpo AI but i do perceive that what these models simulate is similar to how humans reycle their environment for creativity.
The future could go many ways, i wont claim to predict what we do but with mutual destruction as an option we need to do an effort to hope and aim for postive outcomes, lest we destroy the wold because we’re convinced that is the logical flow of events.

I'm sure there a more nuanced takes than mine, but I feel like I can support copyright when it's correctly used to protect individuals, but not when it's being abused by corporations and large creators.

IA just sound like French AI "Intelligence Artificialle"
23Is anyone surprised? If you are a big company, let's say Boeing, you can lie to the authorities about your new plane and kill 346 people with no real consequences.
18Given that the Internet Archive lost their case because the judge ruled that it wasn't transformative enough, this doesn't really seem that applicable. LLMs have a much stronger argument for being transformative.
17I wonder if you have a llm read it to you or something else kind of lazy would count

Uploading is infringement. Downloading is not infringement. Nobody (in the US, at least) has ever been successfully prosecuted for downloading. It is never an infringement to view a work, even if that work was explicitly infringing. It is never an infringement to discuss a work you have observed, even if you observed an infringing copy.
If you ask an LLM about a copyrighted work, it does not regurgitate the work; it gives you a book report about the work. It does not create a copy; it creates a report, a summary. This is explicitly protected under fair use
Rightsholders aren't going to win this one.
14They’re getting away with it for now. Courts are slow
14Hey, I heard you mention AI, do you mind if I give you millions of dollars in venture capital?
10Ah, but you see, IA was doing it for the common good! We can't have that!
10What is IA in this context, all I can think of is Internal Affairs

It's time for Internet Archive to start an AI company.
