UK proposes letting tech firms use copyrighted work to train AI
Is anyone surprised? 'Opt outs' - and we know how well behaved tech businesses have been about both written and visual workl in the past - hae been proposed. Bty the time the author/artist has caught up they will have snaffled the work and it will be impossibe to remoce it from the corpus.
@Wen The US attitude to copyright swings violently.
It used to be that it was seen as an evil European restraint on American innovation.
Then it became the essential method for extracting money for media exports, on pain of death.
Now it’s irrelevant again as there’s more money to be made in unattributed theft.
