#42Earlier quoted context omitted.
What does piracy have to do with generative AI? I don’t understand your analogy.
Useful generative AI is only possible by the same collection of copyrighted material previously deemed illegal. I imagine a model trained solely on material explicitly marked for AI use would be significantly worse.
On the flip side - almost (say, 99.99%) of Human Engineers, Artists, Technicians, Scientists, etc... have mental models trained on copyrighted material.
Nobody (to my knowledge) has ever said that you can't train on copyrighted material - what you aren't allowed to do is copy or directly plagiarize. Something that all the generative systems are going to great pains to remove from their system where possible.
Are they doing a perfect job - nope. But they'll get better, and this is good - copyrights are supposed to prevent replication, not use of their material.

#43I fear we are going to slog though decades of low quality content that looks amazing, but the meat of the story is just empty. Truth is that most production try to tell a human story at their core and being able to have AI generate it off a small description is going to leave it feeling empty.
Wait, I thought we were talking about AI. You just described Marvel Studios

#44People make fun of this because it's Tyler Perry, but go to Atlanta and see how many people he employs. Both directly and indirectly.
All the major tech companies are laying off due to their ambitions/utilizations of AI. This is a major employer in a major city seeing the writing on the wall.

#45First, labor laws isn’t the answer to technology. It would be like regulating the camera because it put portrait artists out of work, or steam drills because it puts tunnel diggers. Art improved dramatically in a short period of time with the advent of the camera, became reflective of what the camera couldn’t do - reflect the nature of humanity back to us. Second, if you’ve done much with generative imagery you know…
> First, labor laws isn’t the answer to technology. Laws have always been created to deal with new technologies and their fallout. Labour laws are no different. You should read about the musicians strike of 1942 [1]. When the record player was invented some people thought 'why pay a singer for more than one performance if technology allows you to record them and sell infinite copies'? No one would try that today with…
No law was created in your link, except ones that made it impossible to create laws like the one you're implying was created.

Have you not seen Star Wars Eps 1 - 3?

#47Well, if Tyler Perry, the greatest technology prognosticator of our time, thinks Sora will supplant human filmmaking, it must be so.
You should probably go to Atlanta and see how many people this man employs both directly and indirectly.
He doesn't have to be "the greatest technology prognosticator of our time". He is a large capital owner and employer.

#48Over the past four years, Tyler Perry had been planning an $800 million expansion of his studio in Atlanta, which would have added 12 soundstages to the 330-acre property. Now, however, those ambitions are on hold — thanks to the rapid developments he’s seeing in the realm of artificial intelligence, including OpenAI’s text-to-video model Sora, which debuted Feb. 15 and stunned observers with its cinematic video outp…

Well the Left is generally opposed to the bourgeoisie so I don't see the disconnect there, but to call HN "far left" is laughable.

#49Can anyone here estimate what it costs OpenAI to generate, say, a 5 second video using Sora?
That is actually a great question.
