“It’s bad because of EU regulation” is the new “it’s bad because it’s woke”.
I actually appreciate the EU regulations. The real question is whether companies are creative enough to come up with new solutions that fit.
Do any “ai” companies have a business plan more sophisticated than
- steal everything on the web
- buy masses of compute with vc money
- become too important to be busted for mass copyright infringement
- ?
- profit
I don’t recall seeing any signs of creativity, or even any good ideas as to what their product is even for, so I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for one of the current crop to manifest creativity now.
Perhaps I missed something, though?
AFAICT basically all of them failed at the “become too important to be busted for mass copyright infringement” part - turns out actively stealing from some of the most litigious and DMCA-happy motherfuckers on the planet was an easy way to get mired in lawsuits.
Bonus points for becoming essentially a money pinata for their lawyers in the process.
I get your point but I feel it goes a tad bit too far. It’s like that now, but it used to have the capability to adapt well and also come up with original ways of combining things. I actively leveraged that capability for my library. Rn it’s unfortunately on pause due to the regression, at least within the NL/EU.
@gerikson @techtakes I think you’ll find Boris Johnson pioneered that one in the early 1990s.
