We should give a shit about everyone’s rights to put food on the table. Compassion can be exhausting but it’s important to recognise that someone else’s problem might be yours one day and you’d wish someone was there to help you.

I completely disagree. The vast majority of people won’t be using the open source tools unless the more popular ones become open source (which I don’t think is likely). Also, a tool being open source doesn’t mean it’s allowed to trample over an artist’s rights to their work.

They’ll just pay us artists peanuts if anything at all, and use large platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Artstation, and others who can change the terms of service to say any artist allows their uploaded art to be used for AI training - with an opt out hidden deep in the preferences if we’re lucky.

This is going to happen anyway. Copyright law has to catch up and protect against this, just because they put it in their terms of service, doesn’t mean it can’t be legislated against.

This was the whole problem with OpenAI anyway. They decided to use the internet as their own personal dataset and are now charging for it.

This is why I’ve been amassing a collection of PS3 games. So many interesting games. They may not always be good but if they can’t be found on PC then I’ll get them. I don’t even care that much for some of them like Splatterhouse. Not a game I’d even heard of until I saw it and then I was even more surprised to find out it was a remake. Regardless, it satisfied my criteria so into my hard drive it goes.

I can’t say it tipped me off but her dress from her waist down looks animated.

That second paragraph highlights exactly how the Fediverse works. If you’re a shitty friend, no one will want to be friends with you.
