dfedbeef··on Copyright does not protect AI-generated content in EU

dfedbeef··on Copyright does not protect AI-generated content in EU
Seems about right. Copyright is supposed to literally prevent outright copying. The output from an LLM is not a creative work of the prompter. It's genuinely the opposite, I use them when I don't care about something but have to do it anyway for whatever reason. It makes more time for me to do the things I like working on.

It feels shitty that they have been trained on the life sums of all of our work and online presences with absolutely no credit given... But then again, I'm not sure I'd want to know what parts of the weights were from me and which weren't.

dfedbeef··on What happened to nerds?
> This will probably catch on slower and be less viral, but it will pay off in the long-run once people 'turn against' tech founders as reality stars, which they eventually will.

The whole problem with opening Pandora's box is that you don't get to close it if you don't like what came out.
