The stock market is a huge part of why society sucks so much. Publicly owned corporations are beholden to shareholder profits above all else, including morality.
As long as I’m not pretending to be Nintendo, can you quantify how exactly releasing, for example, a fan Mario game is unethical? It having the potential to hurt their sales if you make a better game than them doesn’t count because otherwise that would imply that out-competing anyone in any market must be unethical, which is absurd.
Except that you interact with the “tool” in pretty much the same way you’d interact with a human that you’re commissioning for art minus, a few pleasantries. A pencil doesn’t know how to draw Mario.
AI tools implicitly advertise Mario pictures because you know that:
The AI was trained on lots of images, including Mario.
The AI can give you pictures of stuff it was trained on.
An animation studio commissioned to make a cartoon about Mario would still get in trouble, even if they had never explicitly advertised the ability to draw Mario.
I know. AI is capable of recreating many ideas it sees in the training data even if it doesn’t recreate the exact images. For example, if you ask for Mario, you get Mario. Even if you can’t use these images of Mario without committing copyright infringement, AI companies are allowed to sell you access to the AI and those images, thereby monetizing them. What I am saying is that if AI companies can do that, we should be allowed to use our own depictions of Mario that aren’t AI generated however we want.
AI companies can sell you Mario pics, but you can’t make a Mario fan game without hearing from Nintendo’s lawyers. I think you should be allowed to.
I don’t think it should be forced on others, I just view having kids as unethical. Aren’t you the one forcing your way of life on children by bringing them into existence?
Most of them I don’t remember because I only need to visit them once. What prompted me to get Vivaldi, however, was my patient portal. I can’t say which service because it’s PII.
I agree. I think a big part of this move is that they know that YouTube isn’t going to last for too much longer as the only service that does exactly what they do because it will be soon be profitable for many others that don’t have the same level of scale and backing by Alphabet. This is a cash-out.
