    It’s all the same shit. No patents and copyrights should exist.

      Is it? In Sam’s case, we’re mostly talking about creative products in the form of text, audio, and video. If an artist releases a song and the song is copyrighted, it doesn’t hamper innovation and technological development. The same cannot be said when a company patents a sorting algorithm, the method for swiping to unlock a smartphone, or something similar.

        If copyrights are used to add a huge price tag to any AI development, then it did just hamper innovation and technological development.

        And sadly, what most are clamoring for will disproportionately affect open source development.

          If open source apps can’t be copyrighted then the GPL is worthless and that will harm open source development much more

            I’m not sure how that applies in the current context, where it would be used as training data.
