A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The biggest problem with Ai is copyright.
FTFY. Copyright is a tool of the rich. It is not for you.
What a dumb statement. Copyright has nothing to do with money. Copyright is for everyone.
enforcing it generally requires money
People and small indie companies have lost entire fortunes trying to enforce or defend completely obvious copyright cases.
Something we desperately need to abolish.
Not without throwing a whole lot of other concepts in the trash (like capitalism and paywalling basic human necessities)
Capitalism will outlast copyright. They'll adapt. The rich have existed for millennia and there's no reason to think they would roll over as soon as copyright dies.
But, the more they push AI as their digital savior, the more copyright-free content they create. AI is just hastening copyright's demise.
I disagree. Copyright is not bad.
