    They’re already unprofitable

    Because the point is to develop it enough that it can be used to enslave the human race

    Quite a lot of voices say ‘you can only train on my content, [if you] first ask.’ And I have to say that strikes me as somewhat implausible because these systems train on vast amounts of data. I just don’t know how you go around, asking everyone first,

    Never does the question of NOT training these “systems” at all enter the conversation.

      funny thing? if they’d limit it to “black or chinese” posts and plastered it with ads, they’d probably make bank

    If you can’t afford to pay for one of the raw materials required to make your product, then you don’t deserve to have a business selling that product.

    In any other scenario would this even be in question?

    I made a comment a few months ago saying exactly this, and that it’s clear they are fighting it so hard in court because they won’t be able to even use LLMs there will be so little training data otherwise. People said I was incorrect and that fb, etc would just pay for it. Turns out I was correct.

    Nick Clegg is not “legendary” in the slightest.

      There are legendary villains too. But truthfully, he doesn’t even fit that bill either despite having worked for Facebook. Maybe he’s just the legendary wart on the arse of history.

      Are you sure his name isn’t Nick Scoffs? That’s my takeaway from the title.

      It is kind of a legend that he managed to turn a whole generation against the Liberal Democrats for being a spineless Tory sucker.

    I scoff at the execs that don’t get shot. Life will never be liveable unless they agree to let someone end their lives.
