• Nick Clegg, former Meta executive and UK Deputy Prime Minister, has reiterated a familiar line when it comes to AI and artist consent.
  • He said that any push for consent would “basically kill” the AI industry.
  • Clegg added that the sheer volume of data that AI is trained on makes it “implausible” to ask for consent.

    Cool, so I’ll get started on building an automated business that sells cheap access to all the music, movies and shows on the streaming services.

    Getting consent for each title would basically kill my business and would be implausible, so I’ll just assume it’s ok.

    If a business cannot survive without breaking the law, then it is not a business but a criminal organisation.

    And not asking for it will kill whatever remains of the creative industries.

    What do you want, a few years of ai slop followed by the more or less rapid decline of the internet (as it is overwhelmed with model collapse creative works and untrustable content) that will afford the likes of Clegg (in his role of ‘meta’ executive) a huge payout, or creative people having any hope of a sustained ability to make a living?

    I know what I would prefer and I also know what is most likely going to happen. This is the result of decades of neo-liberal fossil-fuel-powered capitalism.

    I have a proposition. Raid them with police and search their computers for stolen data like you would do with your citizens.

    oh noes

    Look, these goddamn assholes have got in their head that they have a right to profit.

    NOBODY HAS A RIGHT TO PROFIT.

    You have a right to try to create a profit and there are rules to that. You’re gonna lose your billions in investment if you can’t plaigerize content?..fuck you, your loss, and you shoulda fucking known better when the idea was presented to you.

    Assholes

    correction: will kill people’s attempts to make billions out of other people’s art. Otherwise inquisitive people will continue to do non-profit research this way or another.

    Actually here is a question to you: Would you be ok if the law stated you don’t need permission if it is non-profit and open source? Yea I thought so bitch.
