How do you avoid AI music?

Reply in thread

It can be presumed that Spotify is doing that to some degree. There is consensus amongst scientists studying the field, artists, labels and other people in the field about that.

The public domain thing is kind a useless argument at this point; It is the case law we are building upon currently but that's basically just because haven't gotten a broader legal framework yet and we're still making AI fit into what we have.

But we don't have to answer by citing to the law, we can answer by looking at the ethics and expecting the law to loosely follow our ethics - that's what it is designed to do.

  • AI takes ideas from other artists without giving credit
  • AI is trained on art without paying for it
  • AI can use other artists branding and likeness without their consent
  • artists make less because AI takes an increasingly bigger cut of the revenue (it's kinda zero-sum, but let's skip that conversation)
  • AI music can only exist because artists exist, SE we need to keep paying artists enough to keep working
  • AI might is possibly being used in some instances for money laundering

And so on.

I'm trying to say this because the law is there to follow our feelings. If we structurally don't condone something to a certain level as a society, we make it illegal or we regulate it.

And as you can see, there's plenty of reasons to regulate and some are straight up financial, so we definitely should do something about it.

And with "we" I mean specifically the Republicans and Democrats, the FCC (regulation to combat market disruption), judges, civil rights lawyers, and possible plaintiffs all have the chance to push us into a better position societally.

Shoutout to Bernie Sanders, he's trying to start a movement about it, and as always he's ahead of the curve in Congress.

Rabbi coming thru with the language of fellow nerds to put things into context...

The history around Gaza and Israel is long and super complicated. The "they hit me first" gets really fucking dumb after like 10 rounds. That's why most people in the west don't support the war, they support leaving people alone. Either the gazans or the Israelites.

War is the ultimate singularity. It's a black hole that sucks up everyone and everything and there's literally no positive to it. So if you have a say in it, the only way to cause less tragedy is to stop it.

On that note, fuck the Hamas for attacking Israel at the festival, and fuck Israel for escalating this into another war.

Home routing and encryption technologies are making lawful interception harder, Europol warns

lawful interception

Idk bout that. Usually you get a warrant for wiretapping and then you pay someone to install it. If they are trying to break encryption or identifying users, that means they inherently are doing something the law does not favor.

Let's also acknowledge that if encryption is bad because it cannot be broken, that means encryption is pretty good at what it should do.

Breaking encryption is never something you do for the right reasons.

deepseek

It's models are literally open source.

People have this fear of trusting the Chinese government, and I get it, but that doesn't make all of china bad. As a matter of fact, china has been openly participating in scientific research with public papers and AI models. They might have helped ChatGPT get to where it's at.

Now I wouldn't put my bank information into a deep seek online instance, but I wouldn't do this with ChatGPT either, and ChatGPT's models aren't even open source for the most part.

I have more reasons to trust deep seek as opposed to chatgpt.
