Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I've already seen people go absolutely fucking crazy with this - from people posting trans-supportive Muskrat pictures to people making fucked-up images with Nintendo/Disney characters, the utter lack of guardrails has led to predictable chaos.

Between the cost of running an LLM and the potential lawsuits this can unleash, part of me suspects this might end up being what ultimately does in Twitter.

lotta this is being used for blatantly political speech, really DIY editorial cartoons, e.g. the image we used

its eagerness to give you a school shooting, not so much

Court ruled AI output is public domain, is so AI mickey? lol

It hasn't been hashed out in court yet, but I suspect AI mickey will be considered copyright infringement, rather than public domain.

In typical fashion, copyright becomes stronger every time it loses grip on the mouse

You're not wrong. Precisely how this AI debacle will strengthen copyright I don't know, but I fully anticipate it will be strengthened.
