I don't agree with this. Copyright and Intellectual property arguments like this are the modern day equivalent of "Think of the children" but with IP holders instead of children. I'm an avid believer in piracy and information access and this sounds like pro-copyright dogma to me.

What I think is a better solution is to have open-source and self-hostable models like AIhorde which aren't corporate in nature and don't make money. They are open-source projects that anyone can run or contribute to. But screw copyright and screw IP gatekeeping, I'm not going to justify or rationalize this with what are ultimately the same slippery slope arguments used against piracy

Personally I feel like AI should be allowed if the memes and content are high quality and that they aren't being spammed rapidly.

What I do think should be done regardless of the outcome to ban AI or not is heavy policing on anti-AI harassment, trolling, witch-hunting, and bad faith arguments. I was just harassed by an idiot and still haven't fully recovered but this shit is unacceptable. So if we ban AI or not we need to ban the idiots trolling and trying to hunt down people they suspect of using AI. These people are toxic to the community and will hurt the community more than even low-effort AI spam will. I'm not going to provide names of people because they will accuse me of harassing them and probably harass me in return (just like the idiot earlier).

I agree, I fear that we're going to see a lot of gaslighting and accusations of AI generated content if we try this route. I've already seen this happening with people accusing others of AI generated text and it's shitty. I can recognize the risk of people being shitty and evil and I think that's something that needs to be fought against directly, not enabled by just yelling "AI bAD" and leaning into Ad-hominem and personal attacks.

I was about two and a half years until I decided to drink again about 12 hours ago. I think I drank about 2 and a half glasses of Vodka before puking, it was terrible. I still feel like shit for breaking sobriety and also because drinking made me feel like shit. I used to drink way more than this before, to the point it was scary and I almost died several times, I vividly remember waking up once in the hospital with a policeman there because he found me unconscious in the gutter, I probably would be dead if he hadn't.

I just worry that if I start drinking again I'll begin spiraling like I did before, it was scary. I once woke up in the hospital with a police officer next to me who told me he found me face down in the gutter on the side of the road and almost thought I was dead. If he hadn't found me that night I might've been.

I don't really have the tolerance I used to anymore it seems since I ended up throwing up a lot when I tried drinking some of my old vodka. I don't know how many shots it was since I used a full glass but I didn't even get through two and a half glasses before throwing up.

Profile pictures too if you want, mine is a mushroom witch generated with stable diffusion.

I mean you kind of should care since the tagline of the instance is "Be Weird, Download a Car, Generate Art, Screw Copyrights" it's kind of hypocritical to stay on an instance if you don't believe in or are aggressively against its principles. Like it wouldn't make sense for someone to be a member of the piracy instance if they believe that piracy is wrong and intellectual property should be respected, similar thing goes for the AI instance. That might sound like a wrong comparison but the vast majority of anti-AI arguments I hear people barf up are along the lines of "we need to respect copyright" and "stealing intellectual property is wrong" "won't someone think of the ~~children~~ artists".

Then why are you on Lemmy's leading AI friendly instance created by the guy who makes the AIhorde? Seems kind of like a conflict of interest...

I mean I agree with you if we're talking about openAI, but not so much if we're talking about lower end models meant to be self-hosted. In that case it's not really much different from putting people down for gaming or other GPU heavy operations, and at that point we're just fully leaning into the carbon footprint propaganda.

I hope you aren't going to argue how other people should be allowed to use their own GPUs, that would be very ironic considering your name, @NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io

I mean if people use a self-hosted model on their own GPU that's really their prerogative how they choose to use their GPU and the energy it uses.

Lol you are so out of touch with reality, trans people are real and have existed for as long as humanity has. We have records of people in ancient societies who are believed to be what we consider nowadays to be transgender (i.e. being AMAB but being buried in a women's burial position and burial site) and ironically many of them were respected and honored in those cultures (which is why we even know in the first place).

Also Two-Spirit is a Native American identity, it was added because there are indigenous people who identify that way and deserve to be seen. The fact that you are putting it and them down shows how little you actually care.

I’m open minded

You are not what anyone would consider open-minded, you just spent two paragraphs putting down transgender people and denying the existence and identities of native American people who are two-spirit. You can consider yourself open-minded but that doesn't make it so.

but not SO open minded that my brain is falling out.

ha haha HAHAHAHA.That's so ironic because this transphobic rant you posted indicates that this has already happened long ago. That's what happens when you fill your head with whatever it was that led you to write two and a half paragraphs of this transphobic garbage.

People who don’t want copyright to exist have never created art people want to buy.

I think you'll find a lot of artists who've been screwed over by record labels (who commandeer your copyright), as well as indie artists who release under CreativeCommons or Public Domain who would strongly disagree with you there.
