UK people - the government is running a "Copyright and Artificial Intelligence" open consultation, https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/copyright-and-artificial-intelligence until 2025-02-25
Option 3, their "preferred option" is to allow AI to slurp everything, but require an opt-out (we all know how well those work!)
Option 1 (require abiding copyright law) is "not preferred" because it is "likely to make the UK a less attractive location for AI development".
If stealing shit is the basis of your business model, *perhaps this is a problem*?
@JeremiahFieldhaven to be fair stealing other people’s shit was Britain’s entire business model for hundreds of years

@piccalo @PsyChuan @JeremiahFieldhaven woe, british ai museum be upon ye
@mynameistillian @piccalo @JeremiahFieldhaven one of the questions was like "what happens if AI is trained on AI? what should the government do?" and i'm like it causes model collapse but why is that an issue for the government.
i think at one point i said like "these are multi-billion dollar multinational companies, if they want the devil to advocate for them they have enough money to hire him directly."
@JeremiahFieldhaven i can see a potential upside. “No I’m not illegally streaming this sporting event, I’m merely training my AI!”
Luana@JeremiahFieldhaven If AI is allowed to disrespect copyright, then kill copyright entirely
@luana Especially if, when you follow their argument, it's fine to violate copyright as long as you can argue that it's necessary to make more money.
I suspect they really haven't thought it through.
@JeremiahFieldhaven If AI is allowed to plagiarise but obvious fair use is still illegal, is that equitable?
@JeremiahFieldhaven No, I'm not pirating this movie, officer, I'm training an AI.
