Fair enough. I am really pro AI but even then this suit is important and the mills of the courts need to start grinding on this suit since about 2y ago. So let's get this going. Right call.

Out of curiosity, why do you say you're really pro AI? I feel like I'm stuck in an anti-AI bubble ATM.

Not parent, but because of the following reasons:

  • Stability AI for images, and many others like Llama for chatbots are open source and can run on commodity hardware
  • AI doesn't replace skills, it's only a tool to enhance them: As a coder, I can use Stability AI to make cool art, but my AI generated work isn't nearly as cool as when an artist uses AI tools
  • You can't really fight it, so you may as well embrace it

I think the issue with point 2 is that most of the people doing the work know that, but the people making decisions tend to not. We've seen time and time again that companies will absolutely ruin their future prospects for short terms profits. This isn't going to be an exception, and a lot of people that the companies can't actually afford to lose are going to get laid off.
