He sure is 'getting rid of woke'. I've never seen a more ignorant man.

So they will bring the whole thing down, right? Right?

@Davriellelouna I never thought I would agree with Trump on something.

Anti-DEI is horrible and evil, so there isn't much that I can say about that, other than "elbows up". I will stand with antifa against the regime, when the time to fight comes.


That said, I think that ignoring copyright is a good thing, though that would be purely by accident when it comes to the Trump Regime. IMO, copyright has been broken and captured by corporations, so there isn't much value lost in not adhering to the concept. Ideally, good people will develop open source AI that can draw on all of humanity's knowledge and culture.

There is value in minorities having 95% of Disney's legal acumen in their pocket, for free: it is the cost of a capable lawyer that allows police to abuse black folks in a court of law. There is value in being able to point a phone at a rash, get some possible diagnoses, and a instant reference to a trained doctor who can verify. There is value in having a pal we can share our niche interests with, especially for those of us who never had the opportunity to find human friendship.

Just as with Marx, seizing the means of artificial intelligence is important for the everyday people. Neither corporations nor government should be allowed to have a monopoly on something that can transform our daily lives.

Wow so fuck college students but machines deserve free textbooks?

Just tell your campus book store that you self-identify as AI. FREE BOOKS!

Just download digital copies of the textbooks and say you need them as training material for your own AI dataset when the copyright holders come after you.

If only he were capable of being so consistent. He thinks what people pay him to think.

Good, keep convincing them that copyright is woke. And we don't want anything woke right, wink wink

So, hypothetically speaking, if I pirate a bunch of stuff and I get caught, I can claim I used it to train an AI model and all charges are dropped? (According to his statement, not current applicable laws)
