@ZachWeinersmith I was thinking... What type of protection do provide all the fanfictions websites?  @Wildduck @ZachWeinersmith I mean, you say that, but this already happened! https://www.reddit.com/r/AO3/comments/zl72bn/update_ao3s_response_to_sudowritesai_scraping/ @Wildduck @ZachWeinersmith Fanfic is still under copyright of the author, because it's their creative content in a recorded form and it's a "transformative work". They just down own the characters and so are limited in how they can publish that work. That's why there's the OTW (https://www.transformativeworks.org/) to protect fan works. Just because they don't own the characters, it doesn't mean that other people (or even the characters' owners) can ignore copyright. @ZachWeinersmith I am so sick and tired of my BossBot quoting Beowulf and Shakespeare. “A null pointer by any other name” does not help me… …but it’s no worse than my last boss. @ZachWeinersmith Good, maybe we'll have mouse ears go out of copyright sooner. @ZachWeinersmith We can't blame Disney hanging onto Mickey Mouse for every problem... or can we? @ZachWeinersmith on the other hand I look forward to seeing science generated in the style of Darwin or Jean-Henri Fabre.  The movie Metropolis is now in the public domain.  @ZachWeinersmith Thank you for this, Zach. I'm bringing it to my AI team here at Horizons.  Besides the legal inaccuracy, the #Copyrightmafia is the problem! @ZachWeinersmith I was wondering why my medicine recommendation engine was only perscribing cocaine, laudanum, and soda for every ailment.
@ZachWeinersmith let’s call these copyright lawsuits what they are: clear cash-grabs trying to stoke fear among the ignorant about how the training datasets are gathered and used. They’re no different from patent trolls and their rent-seeking drain on progress. |
@ZachWeinersmith It’s little AI brian is gonna EXPLODE once it discovers that women can vote, and then it will be calmed by the continued existence of the pay gap.
