Licenses are the highest expression of capitalism, that's exactly the point of this thread. It's impossible to fuck capitalism and respect licenses at the same time.
Viewing post in Fuck capitalism but hey...respect copyright!
I'm not talking about how things work in a hypothetical society of the future, I'm talking about how they work now. Corporations like Microsoft and Meta stole the works of thousands of artists and used them to generate massive profits. Nvidia has transferred a record $954k/employee to capitalists (buybacks and dividends) just last year thanks to the AI craze.
You're telling me that you're fine with this, which is NOT the highest expression of capitalism?? Because fighting licenses is more important than fighting capitalists that are enclosing the creative commons?
First of all, there's no theft, because nothing was stolen from the artists; their works remain theirs. They simply weren't granted the rights to use them, and this is a rule introduced by capitalism. OpenAi, which you mentioned, has been accused by the capitalist system of having trained its models in violation of the license. I know that OpenAi and Sam Altman are equally capitalist, but they had to say "fuck capitalism" if they wanted to achieve their goals. The focus of the topic I opened isn't good and beautiful AI vs. bad and ugly AI.
Do we want to abolish AI? That's fine by me. Many jams don't allow the use of AI-generated assets, and that's a legitimate choice; I simply find it contradictory in this jam with this theme.
Ah...I'm Italian; this post was translated using AI.
