       Pillaged from BlueSky:"20 years ago we were suing teenagers for millions of dollars because they were torrenting a single Metallica album and now billionaires are demanding the free right to every work in history, so that they can re-sell it.The law only ever serves capital."

       @AlisonCreekside that was the RIAA, which represented the relatively small music industry. Att the same time the RIAA was suing people, billionaires were making services to pirate music and electronics companies were selling MP3 players and bigger hard drives because everybody was pirating music. There really is not a change of policy for tech companies here at all.

       Yes, but the solution to this isn't suing billionaires for millions of dollars. It's not letting people sue teenagers for doing fuck all. There was no right to sue them in the first place.

       @AlisonCreekside Also, society can survive without ChatGPT and many of the AI tools being created. What actual value do the models of AI bring for society as a whole that isn't, in fact, negative value and harm? (This does not mean we couldn't find useful and actually constructive uses for these technologies but that's not what we're doing.)

       @fifilamoura @AlisonCreeksideThe focus on making AI do what makes us human is something I feel is deeply wrong when they could do things we cannot

       @Archivist @fifilamoura Still early days for AI.I worry that our blind addiction to capitalism over any other system of organizing ourselves on the planet will make many livelihoods redundant.Recalling back when Alberta oilworkers were losing their jobs due to world oil pricing, tech bros were telling us those jobs were never coming back regardless if oil prices improved bc they were being hired to improve AI to automate jobs.Meanwhile ChatGPT can't do crosswords 😏​
