It is happening relatively fast. Solar glass is already in production, at least as good as I know in Spain (the Spanish startup Onyx Solar is one of the pioneers in the area. They have already implemented solutions in buildings in Spain, Australia, Saudi Arabia and a prototype of a new version of the product in Israel.
So the killer functionality this article is touting is:
Yes. The killer functionality is that Threads finally is a real Twitter competitor like people have been claiming. But I think that is a good thing, because I want to see Musk looking like a dumbass blowing $44 billion when Twitter goes bankrupt.
Because it works exactly for the thing it was designed to do, and does it well. Like asking why we still use hammers to pound nails in after a thousand years. Some things are going to stick around for a long while and not just go away because "progress". I fully expect some form of Ethernet to still be used 50-100 years from now just like analog phone lines are still used now, and those are over 100 years old.
Unfortunately I don’t believe artists have any current legal recourse for this and, honestly, I’m not sure they require one.
Legal Eagle has a great review of common legal questions with court judgements on some. The bullet points are that an artist’s style isn’t protected by copyright and training and AI on an artist’s work can be considered fair use.
Asking an AI to draw art that looks like it was done by Greg Rutkowski is no different than asking a human artist to do the same thing. The human artist would look at Rutkowski’s works and do their best to copy the style of it. As long as the artist doesn’t recreate an identical looking piece, it’s not copyright infringement.
If artists could copyright their style it would stifle creativity. Same thing if artists could prevent their work from being used as instructional or reference materials.
