It’s just an innocent bug that happens every update!

If it’s about having your blog serve as AI training, it doesn’t really matter where you host it, it’s going to get scrapped and included in the data.

Now I’m imagining how good of a game I could run with a 3d food printer

You line up the apple and cut both at the same time

AI generated content isn’t stealing. That being said, Facebook is literally only reposts, there is practically zero original content. The AI generated stuff is amongst the few things that isn’t technically stolen.

You mentioned regulating right after scraping so I thought it pertained to that.

Also when I say expensive, I mean prohibitively so in a way that creates a soft monopoly. And when you couple that with the very real possibility that AI replaces most desk work in the coming decades, its bleak.

That being said, I totally agree deepfakes and all that need to be regulated but only on the platforms distributing it imo. Most seem to want to regulate how the technology itself works, gimping it and forcing filters on the user. All of which can really only be done by stopping users from running it locally.

I think anything other than the lightest touch would be disastrous for both us and the product.

I’m curious where you would start. I have some thoughts but mainly only a strict opt out policy for individuals.

If you regulate AI, you kill any open source or small time endeavors and turn the whole thing into a shit show. You need vast amounts of data to train models and only a few companies either have it or can afford what they are missing.

Our whole economy is going to be AI driven soon, google and Microsoft would literally own us.

I also think Reddit just aggregated that content. Us, the consumer, don’t deserve to get shafted and see AI costs explode just so spez can make a fat pay day off the content we created.

That’s a wall of text but I will talk about you Elon Musk, gates, etc comment. The main ones pushing for regulations are specifically these groups.

If it becomes law that you can’t use scrapped material for AI, or all the material is poisoned, it absolutely kills any open source or small endeavor. Openai and company will happily pay for these databases, it means they keep their moat and are easily able to push subscribing services down our throats. The artists still wont get a dime since the dataset will come from instagram, Getty, adobe etc but the consumers will get heavily fucked.

The equivalent of Luddites breaking machinery. You can’t stop technology. The artists would be better served learning how to use these new tools than throwing a tantrum. I’m getting some heavy “Photoshop isn’t real art” vibes and it’s pathetic. Whatever lets them cope I guess.
