Square root of negative one

Copyright is pretty terrible, and I don’t think we should expand the power of copyright in order to get a handle on AI.

The good news is, we have other tools.

• Gen AI firms are deliberately using creators’ own content to compete in the same space; that’s anti-competitive, hit em with antitrust
• Nobody should be forced to accept an AI training provision in their contract; hit em with unions
• If you identify a private detail of a person through large-scale statistics, that’s an invasion of privacy
• Deepfaking someone is a violation of likeness rights and privacy; for sexual content, it should be a sexual offense as well
• AI slop is polluting our communication channels while the devs say they bear no responsibility for it; we should treat info pollution as seriously as we (should) treat environmental pollution

Content provenance is also a good idea, though I don’t like the centralized nature of C2PA.

We have plenty of options for regulating here. They want you to think copyright is the only path, because they win either way there.

So, it’s toxic to our brains, our communication channels, our privacy, our economy, our artistic pursuits, our education system, our basic dignity as people… remind me why we’re so excited to make this fucking thing as quickly and recklessly as possible?

I don’t think blahaj would object to the basic message.

There are the occasional man-hating users, sure. But for the most part, the instance seems to accept the idea that men suffer under patriarchy as well.

Now, when you bring it up in response to women, enbies, etc. suffering under patriarchy… that’s not so great.

So I guess it depends on what community it would be posted to, and how it would be posted.

Given how OP seems to be spamming this in multiple unrelated communities… I can’t imagine they would post it to blahaj tactfully. So… maybe you’re right, lol.

It’s a modern OS, but it’s legacy too.

It ends in either replacing humans with AGI or massive atrocities in an attempt to achieve it.

And there are people in positions of real power who believe in this stuff and act on it.

Andreessen posted a manifesto where he said that deliberately delaying AGI is basically mass murder and should be treated as such.

The posts will continue until reality improves.

"The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness."
