Artificial intelligence firm Anthropic hits out at copyright lawsuit filed by music publishing corporations, claiming the content ingested into its models falls under ‘fair use’ and that any licensing regime created to manage its use of copyrighted material in training data would be too complex and costly to work in practice
GenAI tools ‘could not exist’ if firms are made to pay copyright::undefined
So… You think their art or writing was created by what then? Magic? Do you think no time was expended in the creation of books, research, drawings, painted canvases, etc?
Do you think they should starve because we currently live in a world driven entirely around money?
I am just pointing out the meaning of words; originally just left vs right-wing.
Labor is not capital. The factories owned by Tesla were built by workers, just like the robots in them. Time was expended on their design. And yet, all that is still property. When some worker in such a factory takes a wrench home for personal use, then they are not stealing the work of Elon Musk or the other share-holders.
To make a point about policy: None of the owners of the NYT, or Getty, or others like them will starve because of fair use. They are rich people, they will stay rich, and I see no reason to give them more money simply because they own a lot of intellectual property. Anyone at actual risk of starving will only be hurt by sending more of the national income to the top.
US copyright exists “To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts”. The idea is that this can be achieved by introducing a profit motive. Requiring license fees for existing, publicly accessible works, can’t conceivably serve this purpose. It seems obvious that it will only hurt the purpose.
You realize it wasn’t just massive corporations that had their works taken, right? And that is a key reason why so many people are concerned about an AI/LLM company taking the work of others, and using it for their own profit?
Thinking this is limited to NYT or Getty is ignorant at best.
I don’t see non-profit AI drawing less rage, so I don’t believe that the concern is about AI being used for profit. Maybe, when you say “for their own profit” this is another special expression like “taken” (by which, I believe, you mean copying without authorization)?
I don’t really know why so many people are coming through for the rich. I am not an eat the rich kinda guy, but giving them money for nothing is just absolutely bonkers to me. What I know is that a lot of people were simply hoodwinked. I strongly suspect that others feel that they have to support that because of some ideological conviction. But eventually, I simply don’t know what’s going on with that. It’s why I originally posed the question.
IDK what you mean by “migration of that goal post”.

I don’t get your point even remotely.

Not to mention the migration of that goal post.
I am aware what the datasets contain.
