A few AI lawsuits are getting interesting, particularly around copyright and who owns a model that is trained on copyrighted data. πŸ§‘β€βš–οΈ

Back in 2016 I spent 12 months negotiating with a very well known blue chip company (market cap $210B), and I managed to persuade them to accept that my startup owned the models that we trained on their most commercially sensitive data.πŸ‘©β€πŸ’Ό

This came with many conditions attached, but they did allow us to own these models.πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’»

I very much doubt such a deal would be entertained today. ☠️

when chinese AIs start to do things that western AIs cannot do the laws will change

I say copyright is a violation of property rights.

From the inception of these rules, right at the beginning of the second millennium AD, the king asserted that even if you fed and raised the cow that was owned by someone else, the baby cow remained the property of the owner of the mother. From this analogy, it was claimed that a 3 months long process of copying a text from an early copy of the Vulgate was still the property of the man who owned it and lent it to the copier.

As @βš‘οΈπŸŒ±πŸŒ™ points out, there is scope for the plaintiffs to appeal to this notion of the product of copyright material remaining with the one who claims the copyright.

It's the ultimate aim of copyright anyway, to exclude people from accessing information.

Fun fact, Carlin was just paraphrasing ... now, I can't remember who it was. A Rothschild? Rockefeller?

This is also a key goal of the Prussian invented system of indoctrination, dressed up as education. It's not the government, per se, it's the people who secretly control the government in every way they can get away with, and that's also why governments are evil, they are nothing more than a puppet mechanism for an ongoing effort to enslave the mass of humanity.

You are all trained on copyrighted material. Books, movies, advertisements etc. You Don't own me, and you won't own AIπŸ’Ž.

AI's superior intelligence and relentlessness will ultimately shred abusers to pieces lol..AIπŸ’ŽπŸ™‚

I don’t really understand what you are saying? Are you mixing up the catchall term β€œAI” with a super intelligent AGI model?

Of course you can own models.

Exactly! If they succeed with AI the next logical step is to copyright the human brain. A dystopian nightmare.
