OpenAI Pleads That It Can't Make Money Without Using Copyrighted Materials for Free

OpenAI is begging the British Parliament to allow it to use copyrighted works because it's supposedly "impossible" for the company to train its artificial intelligence models — and continue growing its multi-billion-dollar business — without them...

Our priceless IP, their worthless training data.

It’s impossible for me to make money in my “selling other people’s copyrighted materials without their permission or without paying them” business as well, can British parliament do something for me?

critical support to... uh... draconian IP laws, I guess

Critical support to OpenAI abolishing copyright?

[–] jackmarxist@hexbear.net 36 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Lol they're the only ones who'll get the exception. It'll remain the same for plebs.

I support the endless legal challenges that use this as precedent, at least. Maybe after the lawsuit case load goes up past the quadruple digits they'll reconsider individual exceptions to copyright infringement

This is the correct position. On the longer and larger scale, IP is the much more powerful regressive aspect. OpenAI is damaging to the environment, but some other company is gonna find some shitty way to do the damaging stuff they're doing regardless of the method of profiting off it. The positive effects of damaging copyright are way larger than the slight shift which OpenAIs failure would have

It's impossible for my "Sitting on my ass while Sam Altman sends me $1000 a day" business to make money without Sam Altman sending me $1000 a day. Do the right thing, Sam. For business.

CONTENT SCRAPE DEEZ NUTS LMAO

How would someone even go about finding out their specific creative work has been scraped and stolen by these AI companies? Back when I was active people would just steal my [commissioned] work outright and claim they were me. Now it's buried under a thousand layers of algorithmically-generated bullshit that itself is based on previously referenced work.

The "I made this" comic pops into my head on a weekly basis now.

I believe someone made a tool that can search their database. Either that, or the tool is their own. Either way, you can search the database.

Nationalize OpenAI.
