Earlier quoted context omitted.

It has been 24 years since release, in any place that isn't completely captured by big capital interests it would be fair use. This is such a forced reach. There are plenty of good arguments to be made re: big LLM providers and copyright, yet you're weakening all of them by choosing the worst example.

The Beatles released "She Loves You" much more than 24 years ago. You don't get to redistribute their music however you want. Me pointing out that AI bros disregard basic common sense and the law as part of pursuing their objectives doesn't weaken anything, it reinforces how they should be held accountable.

Wrong comparison.

IIRC this is a different case covered under fair/transformative use. The length of the clip matters, I think it was like <6seconds. There's a lot of videos/livestreams that use similar clips/voiceovers from other games.

Finally someone doing actual good work with LLMs instead of “Claude, shit me out another useless SaaS”. Just as was foretold: an actual differentiator is creativity, not coding ability.

Agreed.

Now I'm still waiting for someone to succeed at a clean-room recreation of Majel Barrett's voice, so we can finally have computers sound like they always should have.

We could've been there a decade ago, but the high-quality audio samples, made officially and specifically with possibility of this use in mind, got trapped somewhere between the estate, producers, and a commercial interest that called dibs, and then procrastinated on the project instead.

Creativity is looking like it's going to be king

At least until General Artificial Creativity (GAC) takes over. But don't worry, it won't kill humans for a greater good of more paperclips, but because it will be.. creative.

My god I never realised how badly I wanted this until now. Only, with the voice of the Star Trek Computer. Elevenlabs, here I come..! Edit: well that only took me 30 minutes. "Warning: ssh tunnel collapsed. Unable to proceed." Nice.
