    japan:

    • people make rule34 porn of underage children: “i sleep”
    • people make unsanctioned videos of characters from mega-corps like nintendo doing stupid stuff: “i weep”

    always interesting to see where their priorities lie.

      Insane that that’s your takeaway from this post. This had nothing to do with underage children, so why is your mind already there? So fucking weird.

      Drawings, as long as they’re easy to differentiate from reality, should be fine. Otherwise we will continue to slide down on the slippery slope of censorship of adult content, and one day short women and lack of a pubic hair will also be considered CSAM (I knew people who did so).

      AI is like stealing a brick from everyone in your town to build your own house. As a medical writer it has absolutely destroyed my business.

        i heard it pretty much ruined some career of corporate writers, on certain subs, although i dont know the extent of it. on one post, the user said the company was pretty much okay with the fact that thier low-quality AI generated writings will result in less clientele and less revenue, but no overhead of hiring an outside writer

          Yeah. So medical writers have it really rough. I was making $100k+ last year. I just exhausted unemployment. The problem is that you can feed AI a list of approved claims and basically feed it a ton of examples and it gets 85% of the way there. Of course it’s ripping off our work to do that, but cash is king. I haven’t checked in a bit, but website traffic was down 90%. So, they essentially lost millions to save $100k.

              WEBMD is pretty much ecyclopedia for diseases, something you can use wikipedia for too.i think medical writer, would write something to be approvable or not by the insurance or billing.

              More like a claims database. We relied a lot on PubMed, which hosts a wealth of clinical data, original research, case studies, systematic reviews, etc. I love PubMed. It’s the Brooklyn Bridge of peer-reviewed stuff.

      Fuck all intellectual property.

      Monopoly on ideas is though police. Information that is not hidden for personal reasons should always be free.

      All of human creativity is recycled from internal interpretations, interpretations from the real world that we live in that is increasingly blocked off with real punishment to conceptual crime.

    Open AI gets so much free PR. Sora is free for now, and instagram getting flooded with copyright infringing crap is not what an expensive video AI creation is going to be paid for. AI videos are very expensive. There are very few people who will pay for it as an alternative for more expensive CGI. Advertising industry can consider full shift for video. They can avoid rights violations and still do it.

    Point though, is that copyright controversies are irrelevant to everything important. There is a utility to it, but its not 60gw of power required market.

      Disney bought into a long history of Fox animated properties being lax in infringement enforcement online.

        They’ll wait until the bubble bursts (or OpenAI shows signs of weakness) and then they’ll eat it alive.

        It’s not profitable to go after them when the government is tweeting out Pokémon ICE commercials and the president is making deepfakes of himself.

          And the other government with large contributors is China and intellectual property rights have never been strong there. Walk around a startup and you’ll see plenty of posters they’re made with their products and with the faces of Elon Musk or Steve Jobs there as if they’re endorsing or part of the product

            they use westerners, even hiring white people to be the face of thier company, its to "legitimize thier shady companies its very common. they make the westerners go to events and pretend like they own it, but not do anything for the companies internal workings. thats why alot of products on amazon that are from china uses white people in thier ads.

      I guess that cost a few dinners and holidays, maybe even some fancy tech stuff. But probably took them to some conference, where they showcased “what AI will be capable in just a few years, only if they could train it on copyrighted material”.

      The argument for training an AI on copyright materials is different than the argument for allowing it to generate and distribute copyright infringing materials.

      I wouldn’t say they’re worse. I’d say they’re confusing as hell.

      For example: fan manga are absolutely okay.

        Fan manga and other doujin works usually depends on the original copyright holder for enforcement.

        Some are pretty open for any fanworks being commercialized as long it’s limited and case by case basis. For example, Love Live franchise allows doujin manga and other doujinshi works, but not with fanmerch. Serial Experiments Lain generally allows various stuff, but not R18 content. Some others like Yakitate Japan mangaka just happy seing his works have so many adult doujin manga, and even lining up on Comiket buying them.
