Meta ( allegedly ) tried to hire 3D artists to justify in court that 3D art is apparently so easy and quick to make, that it is uncopyrightable, so they could not ask for permission from 3D artists for training their AI.

A quotation from Molly Ivins

Being a cynic is so contemptibly easy. If you let yourself think that nothing you’re working on is ever going to make any difference, why bust your tail over it? Why care? If you’re a cynic, you don’t have to invest anything in your work. No effort, no pride, no compassion, no sense of excellence, nothing.

@kotaro gramted, all of tuhe #Forks that are #BSD-licensed had way more #effort put into them.

#SSPL is still worse than #AGPLv3, but #AGPL & #GPLv3 are just completely disregarding the legal reality of #IP and #Licensing.

Needless to say if I were a #developer of it and had contributed under #BSD license I'd expect to either get my code removed entirely or the license to be kept the same.

Alright scumbags. Guess who thought of a legit use for LLM / gen AI / regurgitative AI / whichever, in specific cases?

Mandatory condition: middle managers and C Suite or SMT dumbasses use the garbage multiplier on their own.

They need to learn how shit they are at communicating when the stolen vomit static mash-up program can't give them precisely what they want.

yes backfires possible and likely.
But jfc, if it means people who know "creative" just means "someone who tries something" get a tiny possible break from the hierarchical bullshit, that's a positive.

It's not about getting everyone to agree with only you since "you're infallible."

Remind people that disagreement exists and is palpable.

Do what you can, of any "amount" or "worth".

You exist, therefore you impact this Earth.
