  • I’m scared that big AI companies and copyright companies will successfully run a media campaign to turn public sentiment against AI, so they can easily pass laws meant to strengthen copyright, wall in all the data and create a monopoly around AI.

    The job loss will happen regardless, but if three or so companies successfully position themselves as the only ones legally allowed to serve AI solutions, all the economic benefits will go to them. We won’t be able to tax companies to pay for UBI if they are already being taxed by Google.














  • A lot of our laws are indeed obsolete. I think the best solution would be to force copy left licenses on anything using public created data.

    But I’ll take the wild west we have now with no walls then any kind of copyright dystopia. Reddit did successfully sell it’s data to Google for 60 million. Right now, you can legally scrape anything you want off reddit, it is an open garden in every sense of the word (even if they dont like it). It’s a lot more legal then using pirated books, but Google still bet 60 million that copyright laws would swing broadly in their favor.

    I think it’s very foolhardy to even hint at a pro copyright stance right now. There is a very real chance of AI getting monopolized and this is how they will do it.
