I am creating an online music app where people can download songs free of charge, recording studios can opt out. Maybe I will call it Napster Too.

this counts I think

Excellent point. What really worries me about this situation is the big studios have plenty of money for Lawyers to crawl the web looking for things to opt out of but independent producers will not be able to keep up with this if it becomes a trend. Class action is the only solution.

I'm opening a subscription AI service that uses ChatGTP output displayed on my banner. Have plans for a massive server farm called "Starfate."

Will assume their consent is implied unless they show a telegram signed by Queen Victoria and Pope Urban (and endorsed by all the supreme courts on the planet) saying they do not agree.

Isn't that a violation of copyright laws?

Make your own lawlessness and profit from it till you are sued. That's how criminal commerce profits from unfettered capitalism.

It was covered in a Tweet.

Law. How quaint.

It seems like you could train an AI on their films and then ask it to spit out an exact duplicate that isn't subject to copyright (AI works can't be copyrighted.) If your training data is just the one film, the will be no differences! Fair use, am I right?

No, no, you were right the first time.

These tech freaks need brakes. Impose them already!

"I'm going to take your car and sell it unless you opt out…"

shouldn't we punch everyone first to get that data on who wants to be punched?

”Give us all the things and all the money and we’ll give you some creepy video generation and, like, super-powerful AI at some point! Trust me bro”

I’m sure this will go over swimmingly.

So basically Spotify

Not if they pay Clarence.

They're gonna get the shit sued out of them by Hollywood. They've managed to get by with stealing people's writing but they aren't going to get away with stealing Disney, or Paramount, or anyone else's IP from the entertainment world. Those companies have the money to take them on.

It is such a weird business strategy. Each new model cost more than the last one, the improvements are lower each time and every new customer they get cost them more than they can every possibly hope to make back. This bubble is going to sink nation states when it happens.

Yeah but everyone spent so much money on a non viable technology (LLM's) that they are all, all-in. If(when) the bubble bursts, it's going to be trillions of dollars that are going to disappear. In today's econonmy, it's going to be very ugly.

He is some piece of work slippery Sammy

These lackluster innovators belong in prison.

What a coincidence! I'm opening a software company that will reverse-engineer copyrighted software unless the company holding the copyright opts out, if they wish.

Why does he think this is okay? I’m baffled.

These people are just the worst scum imaginable. The burden is on you.😵‍💫

Didnt Google try this shit with books and not suceed?

i watch everything on 123movies because no studio has ever opted out of my home entertainment plan

Pirate Baywatch™

Costs a lot of money to sue a big tech company. And Sam Altman knows that.

Funny how we can’t opt out of AI.

WTF?

Say what you will, but if AI companies can steal copyrighted material, there is no reason why I can't pirate anything I want and say it's for an AI I'm developing.

Napster Theater

Anytime anyone wants to yell at me about how socialists want to ban private property, I’m just going point out that AI fanboys already think property rights don’t exist. So, yeah. Holy hand grenades.😒

One theater is "small enough to fail"... and be sued. You should start an Ad and subscriber data monetized streaming video service. Maybe call it uToob?

I got mugged the other day and when he was finished, the mugger asked why I didn't simply opt out to avoid the mugging.

AI Supremacy (as long as we get to steal your IP to slop the hogs) is either the shrewdest or most pathetic business model ever invented.

But they can only opt out AFTER they notice that I’ve stolen their property.

Is it possible to opt Altman to Mars?

Didn’t we all learn that bootlegging is wrong from What’s Happening when Rerun tries to record the Doobie Brothers youtu.be/f09mU7uSdfA?...

I remember early Internet arguments about “fair use” of short clips of copyrighted material in creative performances. AI has stolen everything, thrown it into a blender, serves the AI slop back and charges for it.

I doubt OpenAI has the training materials well-organized and coded enough to even respect an opt-out if they wanted to.

So” AI “is not actually intelligent, it’s just artificial 🫠.

Clearly they thought even less of this ad than the rest of us youtu.be/PLzy-IJg4_4?...

Let me know how many pre-emptive letters you get from studio's attorneys, just based on one inoffensive tiny post. (My guess, greater than zero. If you were still at WaPo, more than 5)

Every artist and art rights holder needs to send an opt-out letter immediately.

Opt out after you've made the money.

There's a rumbling noise coming from Walt Disney's tomb.

They don't think it means anything at all. They don't think anything means anything. They are nihilist$.

How long do you think this'll last before too many people opt-out and they have to come up with an excuse as to why they're ignoring artist's requests?

I’m glad I kept all those DVDs and the player.

Just letting anybody reading this know that I may just get in your car and drive it off unless you opt out now.

Brazen copyright violation

Clarence: “Seems right”.

I can't help but feel this is a consequence of the slam dunk Anthropic lawsuit ending in a settlement.

I bet they think the money they’ll make on subscriptions and engagement will outweigh the clear legal ramifications in the short term.

Start with the Star Wars series, then whatever Disney has put out recently.

Hope we can enjoy some "Emil Redenbocker" popcorn or tasty chocolate Peanut M&Ns at the concession stand!

God i wish. We should be able to air pirated films at movie theatres! It would be funnnn

That's an ok idea I guess. But is there a way you can consume a ton of energy resources while doing it though? 🤔

Just curious, can you un-train AI to forget copyrighted material?

These people love getting sued it's like an entire industry of findom fetishists

I’m just a country lawyer* but I don’t believe that’s how copyright law works. *I will claim a J.D. from Harvard unless they opt out.

I'm already doing that

The Wall Street Journal just notified them The press has always been useful to ad men & lawyers

This is what happens when you rely on AI for legal advice

Um, that’s not how copyright works.

Took me a minute, but I got it. 😁

OpenAI will pay me a lifelong monthly €5000,- stipend, tax free, without any obligations on my part, unless they opt out by their CEO personally handing me a handwritten op-out letter within 48 hours.

They will all settle to appease Cesar.

Congrats!!

Do you got 10bn for me?

I'm willing to design the Captcha verification that makes sure you're the correct corporation when opting out.

It's amazing how companies spent decades lobbying for stronger and longer copyright protection, only to cast it all aside once the shiny new thing arrived.

What if there are already 1,000 plagiarized versions of each thing, and AI just copies those? Doesn't this get really complicated at the jump?

It’s all just upside down.

This is what traveling in the developing world was roughly 2005-10, and it made Hollywood furious. Hostels, hotels, bus lines, air lines, all pirated. And here the AI crew are just bragging about it in the open.

A.I.: an industry of Fucking Thieves
