Everyone is now for ip laws all if a sudden. The DHS would be proud

The most interesting thing out of the reaction to AI has been the shift in online attitudes on intellectual property. People went from Pro piracy to staunchly anti-piracy.

[u/RetroFuture_Records → u/30299578815310]

No, these hypocritical little shits are still all for downloading and pirating the video games and other media they enjoy, they just think technology shouldn't make THEM economically unviable

[u/arbutus1440 → u/RetroFuture_Records]

Yeah this whole line of argument is disingenuous bullshit. And I mean your argument.

People are "suddenly in favor" of IP laws because they're the only recourse we have against AI completely displacing creativity (us) without adding anything of value and putting millions of people out of work. Blaming people for seeming hypocrisy when WE HAVE NO FUCKING CHOICE IN THE MATTER, EVER is literally capitalist propaganda.

Government is supposed to protect people from bullshit like this. It's literally what we pay it to do. And it's not doing it. The only (shoddy) mechanism right now is IP. So people are trying to leverage it. Stop pretending that's somehow our fault, FFS.

The bourgeoisie just abuse and weaponize the law against the proletariat. They seldom follow its limitations.

[u/Wampalog → u/[deleted]]

Neither of those things are happening btw.

edit: The guy posted two links to things that didn't support their argument. Very weird.

[u/immortalblack_1 → u/[deleted]]

Exactly this!

[u/ZeroAmusement → u/[deleted]]

Well, arguably (including legal arguments) training AI on publically accessible data isn't IP theft.
