    Even being stored in EU doesn't preclude your data from being targeted by signals intelligence. Which is different than requiring US based companies to provide non-US data to Ameri…

    I agree. Operating systems have become too fast.

    It reads like you're in favor of banning resale and lending(aka libraries) of books... because the authors aren't compensated. There's such a thing as fair use and digitizing priva…

    You seem to think that AI companies sell you content, which is false. You get a service. The service is using their compute power to run a model and their scientists to build the m…

    Long story short - publishing houses are venture capital firms. Most of their investments fail miserably, but they only need one Google/Stephen King.

    Since we're on the criminal side - what criminal statute would apply to Anthropic? And what criminal statutes were used for the cases we're supposed to compare to?

    Infringement is a civil lawsuit, with financial punishment only.

    Maybe because Anthropic isn't actively facilitating copyright infringement?..

    I used to use the initial letters of a whole paragraph from Lord of The Rings as my password. Some of us have a good enough memory.

    You're not understanding this. A company can create a new search engine and Google Search isn't obligated to even mention it. The issue is when achieving market dominance and new s…

    We're talking about a layman. Not to mention that different genres have different quality of AI music. I would easily recognize AI generated orchestra, while I can bet a lot of mon…

    You're absolutely right. They can just come up with a few thousand dollars per hour for a few hours per song. Everyone has a few thousand dollars just lying around

    Because AI music can be still valuable. People who like to write lyrics, but can't afford to pay a vocalist still deserve to get their art materialized and distributed.

    We have a lot of pop-slop, now it's AI slop. There's a reason why a few artists persist through the decades, while others just fade into obscurity.(think of how long Madonna, Cher …

    AI generated music is good, the singing (vocals and lyrics) is typically very bad. AI generated music is also not at all original. Which scares all of the "artists" who lack origin…

    I think we underestimate how much of reading happens from the shallow romance section of the bookstores. It's big business and is really not that deep. For someone who isn't part o…

    AFIK: Even the slightest modification of the work is transformative and will produce copyrighted material. It does not have to be substantial transformation.

    Unfortunately you did grant that permission. Once you granted the permission for someone to hold a copy, they have the permission to process it. I can assure you, that you didn't g…

    Charging for a service isn't rent-seeking.

    Funny thing is that building an LLM isn't as complex as you might think. But the problem of attribution is easily understandable to any human with a modicum of intelligence. Imagin…

    I don't believe that you require to do much to claim copyright over an output of an LLM. The input prompt is under copyright - a simple modification to the source code will grant c…

    Software is considered a complete piece of work. Therefore as long as you modify a single character - that whole product is under your copyright.

    The only problem that people see in these models is the money flows. If it all was non-profit - then no one would raise the ethical issue.
