OpenAI is begging Parliament to allow it to use copyrighted works because it's "impossible" for the company to make money without them.

Idk, usually people shut down their business if it can’t make a profit…

So…. not a legitimate business then.

So say the operators of piracy websites. I’m in favor of media piracy being legalized.

Perhaps they should go back to what they were before the greed machine was spun up.

That’s rich. Does it apply to us common mortals? Or only billionaires?

“Limiting training data to public domain books and drawings created more than a century ago might yield an interesting experiment, but would not provide AI systems that meet the needs of today’s citizens.”

exactly which “needs” are they trying to meet?

Their internal monetary needs ofc!

The needs of corpo CEOs trying to cut jobs

Yeah, but because our government views technological dominance as a National Security issue we can be sure that this will come to nothing bc China Bad™.

For years Microsoft and Google were happy to acquiesce to copyright claims from the music and movie industry. Now all of a sudden when it benefits them to break those same laws, they immediately did. And now those industries who served small creators copyright claims are up against someone with a bigger legal budget.

It’s more evident then ever how broken our copyright system is. I’m hoping this blows up in both parties faces and we finally get some reform but I’m not holding my breath.

This is an assumption but I bet all the data feed into Content ID on YouTube was used to train Bard/Gemini…

Copyright is whatever makes the wealthy wealthier. They’ll be copyright reform, but only to protect these new industries.

Honestly, that sounds like a You problem, Sam.

I can’t make money without using OpenAI’s paid products for free.
