        I’m concerned how AI often leads to people to defend copyright. I fear it will come out of the fight stronger than ever, while not slowing AI in any meaningful way.

          Oh, I’m not defending copyright- I just think that everyone should play by the same rules.

          The result is going to be some kind of deal where AI use requires to pay a certain percentage or something like $0.01 per token in copyright fees. This will be the end of open weight models you’re allowed to run locally on your PC. It’ll be “piracy”.

          It will strengthen the AI corporations by allowing complete monopolization of AI.

        Kind of an either/or deal here. If AI loses, copyright wins (and it’s David fucking Ellison, son of Oracle himself). If copyright loses, AI wins.

      Just latching ointo the top comment: this page compares AI-generated music with the originals it blatantly stole from. It’s against Suno, not Anthropic, but it illustrates the overall issue pretty well.

      Obligatory (for Germans): GEMA is not necessarily the good guy here. Neither are Sony and Warner.

      Fucking crazy thing is that there have always been big ass people in the same room watching their shit get stolen. Warner, Disney, etc…

      I can’t imagine the legal pain if all of the media entities stopped paying ball.

      the oligarchs will settle between themselves on a way to fuck us over that’s ok for both of them, as always.

    Let’s play the oligarch monopoly illegal antitrust violating merger game… CBS and Paramount is skydance which wants to merge Warner, all run by David Ellison, son of Larry Ellison, which is Oracle, which works with OpenAI, so it totally tracks they would want to sue Anthropic.

    This strategy is super familiar. This is almost like how Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems, to obtain Java to sue Google over Android… Hmmmmmm

      This might be the first time I’m actually rooting for Anthropic. I mean I do use Claude mostly because it’s cheap as hell on a subscription and Kimi has pretty nasty terms of use… But I don’t LIKE the company. But if it’s them vs the Zionellison family, they better win.

    And now watch everyone cheer for Sony and Warner to succeed in their lawsuits to extend the grip of copyright. What a timeline.

      Mind to explain why? Are you implying everything should be CC0? Are you saying what AI companies are doing is good? Should one license their software as CC0 instead of GPL? (sry, I’m not fully versed in the IP apparatus, so pls ignore my comment if I sound dumb. I will do some more research on it anyway at some point)

        I think IP law shouldn’t exist, because it assumes that ideas can be owned and leads to predictably absurd results.

          can they though? Isn’t the purpose of copyright mainly to manage industries e.g. avoid that one actor passes off their work as someone else’s? And they need to have a expiration date. That’s how I understood it. I can see how it can turn in to a cluster fire easy though, you’re right
