 @aral You steal War Crime Proofs from the US Army, you're a walking dead. #FreeJulianAssange  A variation on "If you owe the bank a million dollars, the bank owns you. If you owe the bank a billion dollars, you own the bank." Adjust for inflation. They hang the man and flog the woman (Union songs) @panopticon @aral Of course he did. He is probably single-handedly responsible for many, many artists who lost their job because they couldn’t adapt to the new art styles Picasso created by taking their art and changing it. @dgavin @panopticon @aral I never heard of this. But it is hard to quantize "Lost Opportunity". @dgavin Funny, I hadn’t realised trillion-dollar corporations were artists. Then again, I guess it’s called being a con artist for a reason. @aral since the 17th century "artists" is used for "one skilled in any art or craft" (including professors, surgeons, craftsmen, cooks). @dgavin Undercomplex – is that anything like simple? Because trillion-dollar corporations and billionaires doing whatever they like with the labour of others is a very simple concept and that’s exactly what’s happening here. @aral 1st no plural: there is only one trillion dollar company in the world profiting from AI trained on stolen IP: Microsoft. And I dislike them as much as anyone else. @aral I remember the good old times when the same companies sued everyone and everything for #copyright infringements. @aral The law locks up the man or woman, |
@aral those AI companies are taking piracy to a whole new level. And they're getting away with it.
