Paying taxes would kill the rackets, says Al Capone.

It would reset and level it. Unless he means, "it would take money away from the rich people who got their money stealing content"? 🤔

We have a word for that. "Organized Crime"

To which I say Sounds like a you problem tbh

el Chapo furiously protesting that he made a lot of money so it’s fine

If your business can only exist if you get away with theft, you are a bandit.

Then, let it fucking die, already. It sucks up way too much electricity, anyway.

The same industry whose ‘art’ can’t even achieve basic levels of consistency in the rendering of their trumpet-fanfared AI actress, ‘Tilly Norwood’. What colour are her eyes supposed to be, exactly? P😳🙄😂🤣🤣🤣

They are missing the “intellectual” part of that …

Well he clearly sees the same point we do - such a shame he doesn't get why

Reputed to have made $100m doing it. Personally I would be anyone's shill for £1m and then I would shut up and keep out of the public for the rest of my life. No one's taken me up on the offer

Clegg is making the case that artists are valuable, under compensated, and being exploited by billionaires so they no longer have to pay artists and workers.

Then perish

Permission should be sought and remuneration offered, otherwise this is just outright theft.

Thanks for the kind words! More LLM/AI critiques on my blog: www.someweekendreading.blog/tags/#Artifi...

Not sure how that is Constitutional.

I’m going to create an AI that can flawlessly recreate Hollywood movies and train it on Hollywood movies. I mean, that will be legal now, right?

The good thing, is that that bill doesn't mean jack shit for the rest of the world. My hope is that the US continues to lose status and relevance, until the adults get back in charge.

That part was removed. I gather someone in the Senate took a moment to actually look up the Tenth Amendment.

Well, no one should obey that bill, obviously.

How is it going with this bill? I'm french and have a limited grasp of the intricacies of US politics. Not to mention that following French politics is already pretty exhausting in its own right. Will the bill pass for sure or is there a chance to thwart it? When is the voting done?

Do those large companies have out-sized influence on the process? Sure, but I believe the jurisdiction and willingness of those regulators to push back matters too - but I hear you...

Spot on.

Paying a mortgage would wipe out my account, Nick, Britain Needs Those Numbers

Good. Let's starve it. I'll go first. I do NOT consent to my voice being used by an algorithm to steal jobs from real people.

Asking homeowners for permission to take their belongings would ‘kill’ the burglary industry.

Best response of the day

Yes. Good.

That's the fucking point of it.

Good

Who's going to pay so see a slideshow made by a computer using computer generated actors playing a computer generated story ?

Win/win!

Still waiting to hear the downside

what a shame

Sounds great, what's the catch?

Then I guess it dies.

Lmaooo perfect

Dropped into the comments to say exactly the same thing, but probably not as well.

Exactly!

Not the IKEA guy the you guy

Same

(Anyone else immediately hear the ominous music playing in their head when they read this?! Can't just be me!)

I am in awe at the perfection of this response, Sir.

I prefer this one

Sounds good to me.

I mean nick clegg doesn't have any principles so I doubt that was a difficult move for him

*looks at alligator alcatraz and literally all other such facilities.* What he said.

So you admit your businessmodel has serieus flaws. Think again than, and don’t blame the owners of the things you want for free.

Just search Donald Glover it should be one of the first ones.

Ironic from an account with an AI avatar.

Steal it, remodel it to be something incredibly ugly, then demand he buy it back off you.

Good. let it kill the AI industry. It serves no purpose for the betterment if society.

Oh. How fast will it die?

As it should. Do it yesterday. Fucking thieves.

Nick clegg should kill the shit in my asshole with his mouth

asking for consent would kill the pillaging industry

Snap! I just posted this! I should have scrolled further!

These terms are acceptable

Golly.

Good, let it perish

Just capitalism at its finest

THEN DIE

Oh nice didn't realize it would be that easy

Good. They should have thought about that before stealing millions of books, copyrighted articles, artworks etc before training their LLMs! Aside from those at the tho, creative professionals often struggle to make ends meet and wholesale theft from AI companies makes it even more difficult

Good. Let it die, then.

Oh no, whatever would we do…

What's the bad news?

Yes, please

NICK CLEGG CAN FUCK OFF

That's the point

Then let it fucking die

That man sold whatever soul he had. He made a political career out of supporting people’s rights, he fucked that up with a terrible deal with Cameron, then buggered off to work for Mammon.

Clegg was instrumental in creating the chaos leading to Brexit. He’s likes to show up to create big problems.

“I just don’t know how you go around, asking everyone first. I just don’t see how that would work,” science just hasn't figured consent out yet.

If you are in the business of thievery maybe change your business model?

Good. Kill it

Beat me to it.

Always a good gif that one (and scene)

You gotta love this guy. It isn’t feasible to ask artists for consent first. So, what else? I don’t have to ask Nicky here for consent before I bully him in the gym shower and take advantage of him? I mean, it’s really not feasible to ask first seeing as how he might say no. Fuck these people.

Well then, let the dying of a useless and overhyped dog shit stain of an industry begin!!

maybe this shit sould not exist in the first place … just saying… this is slop is based on plane CRIME

Die.

Thanks for the heads up Nick 👍

So if someone takes his car he's okay with it because they they might be part of the taxi industry. Or if I have a bed and breakfast, I can take his house. Maybe just share some of his bedroom and bath.

Yes.

Then it shouldn't be an industry.
