This should have already been the downfall of generative AI. It's so obviously copyright infringement but courts have yet to stop it so AI companies continue to steal everyone's IP.
The AI industry created this problem and now content creators are nothing but free labor for them. I think there's a word for that. 🙄🙄
Anthropic's S1 reveals that the company considers copyright law a massive risk.
It says: "If we cannot rely on the fair use doctrine to access copyrighted work for training our models, we may be required to pay significant fees to obtain a license to such training data or our ability to further develop our models [...] and distribute models trained on such data at issue could be adversely affected."
Adverse rulings "could require us to retrain affected models from scratch at substantial cost."
It notes that the copyright questions around AI training have not been resolved in the US, and that other countries don't even have 'fair use'.
There is hope yet.
I'm not sure why AI supporters refuse to understand what the phrase AI slop means. Is it denial or really ignorance?
AI slop has nothing to do with quality. It's a phrase indicating source. All AI generated content is AI slop. It's a phrase describing the effortless mass generation of content.
Do they also think spam email is all about email advertising artificial meat products?
AI haters claim AI won't make money, so here's an example of my AI slop that didn't make money. 😂🤣😅
In reality, I openly admit that there are certain uses of AI that are profitable. AI slop is one of them. Phone scammers are also making a killing with it using AI voice models.
The argument isn't that AI has no profitable uses. It's at the profitable uses are not beneficial to society.
You hear that people. If you don't like government surveillance, you must just be a Russian bot.
How does that even make sense?
Don't tell Tim Sweeney, he'll claim AI disclosures are a Russian conspiracy. 😂🤣
Oh, yeah. This is totally normal for an unprofitable company trying to IPO for 2 TRILLION dollars. 🙄🙄
It's true. 🤣😂😅
Steam goes down for 10 minutes and the internet panics.
Epic Store could go down for a week and nobody would notice.
Sorry Tim.

It seems like the most common uses for AI are theft. Why isn't this being taken seriously? It's going to completely stop people from spending time and money to create something if what they create is immediately stolen.
What does that have to do with AI disclosures? That's the stupidest argument I've heard all day.
The only reason to oppose AI disclosures is because you know people don't want AI slop and it will tank your sales. What does political affiliation have to do with it?
There's a serious problem with YouTube that I think is simple to fix.
My home feed is full content that I have no interest in. I've even started receiving push notifications for channels that I don't follow or haven't watched before. Some are just AI slop. But I don't receive notifications from channels I've explicitly asked for.
The algorithm judges what we want to watch based on signals like how long we've watched a video or what we've moused over and clicked on. Yet they ignore explicit signals that we've given them.
I haven't done the math but I wouldn't be surprised if 80-90% of the channels that I subscribe to are never in my home feed. Even though I've told you YouTube that these specific channels are the ones I want in my home feed.
They think they can guess what we want to watch better than what we've told them we want to watch. The reason this doesn't work is because the algorithm has no way to judge the context that we're in at the time a video is available.
For instance, I love the goon squad. I've been watching them since their first build. But when I'm in my car driving down the road I can't watch a video that requires my visual attention. So I'm obviously not going to click on one.
Instead I'll watch something from the infographic channel because it doesn't necessarily require my visual attention.
When I get home that context completely changes. Then I want to watch something that does require my visual attention and I might not want to watch something that's just a talking head.
But what ends up happening is I'll end up watching a video while I'm working on my car to try to figure out where all the bolts are to a certain thing I'm doing. Then all of a sudden that channel is in my recommendations for weeks. But do you know what channel hasn't been in my recommendation for at least a year or more. The goon squad. One of my favorite channels. I've wondered before if they're making videos still.
Because of this new move with tech companies to trust more in signals they've forgotten about the most important signal of all. The subscribe button. The user telling YouTube exactly what they want to see.
Many will say that I should just use the subscribed tab, and I do. But it's chronological nature makes it less useful. What I end up doing half the time, is just leaving YouTube and watching TV.
Well, apparently I struck a nerve.
It's amazing how many vibe coders are willing to lie to defend AI slop.
The AI industry is built on gaslighting and deception.
