When this happened to Stable Diffusion, it was easy for me to consider it a necessary evil to progress humanity.

When this happens to closedAI, it just seems like a profit grab.

Not that it changes the legality of it. Just optics.

Wonder if that matters in court.

First they came for the graphics artists, but I did not speak out because I was not a graphics artist.

Then they came for the writers, but I did not speak out because I was not a writer.

Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me... well, except ChatGPT.

As a language model I cannot speak for you. But I can help you express your thoughts and views. I can generate words and sentences in many ways.

I did not speak out because copyright is farcical nonsense that fetishizes the profit motive at the expense of humanity.

[pessimizer]

That's why copyright violation should be brutally cracked down on when the copyrights of Microsoft are violated, and lawsuits against Microsoft for intentional and widespread copyright violation should be laughed off. Because capitalism is bad.

edit: corporate LLMs have pulled the "one death is a tragedy, ten thousand deaths are a statistic" ploy off fully. If you want people to question whether you're even violating copyright, make sure you violate all of them at the same time. They'll just decide that you're an act of god and not covered under earthly laws.

I don't think this is relevant. If OpenAI had trained a model on just one copyrighter holder's content it would likely not be different legally, even if the model would perform much worse.

Primacy of capital is literally the culprit of the inequality you're complaining about, and the reason you cannot win short of reorganizing society.

[hospitalJail]

It seems people prefer power distributed by capital, rather than military might or factionalism/leaders/politics.

Not that all capital is distributed by merit, plenty of people used military might or factionalism/leaders/politics to obtain disproportionate amount of capital.

But if you are against the last 2 happening, I don't see what you expect a reorganization of society to accomplish since you are going to get a power structure of factionalism/leaders/politics taking priority. (Sorry bud, no an-com utopia ever existed, they all had factionalism/leaders/politics, thus defeating the entire purpose of removing class.)

I think most of us think we can capture/retain power easier with money, than having to climb up inter-party politics.

[111111IIIIIII]

Capital primacy is maintained by the capitalist state, i.e. the monopoly on violence. This is literally military might.

I don't necessarily disagree with your later points. I do, however, disagree with giving up.
