"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Honestly the DMCA strikes are probably way better on YouTube than the alternative of getting hit with lawsuits and cease and desists on a specialist site. The amount of things that are considered normal now on YouTube that were just straight up considered copyright infringement prior to YouTube getting massive is wild for anyone who was in media and used to having to get clearances and pay royalties for anything that wasn't public domain. Those expectations haven't changed, and the laws haven't either, it's just YouTube has done a lot to normalize things, and license things for the whole platform where they can, because they know it helps keep the site alive. But if you aren't under the protection of the platform and their agreements, the consequences can get way worse.
