I fucking love this meme. It places more fault on the salesman than the buyer, which is an important aspect to why we're in this situation. The illusion of choice while manufacturers, and therefore dealers, try and get us all to buy the same thing.

Patreon is one of the few companies I really like right now. They are helping creators get out from under the boot of every other damn online platform.

Amazing how every generation of technology has an asshole billionaire or two stealing shit to be the first in line to try and monopolize society's progress.

What the AI is doing is reverse engineering the authors magic formula for creating new works

Great but the humans involved knowingly let it scrub pirated works.

fourth industrial revolution" as some have claimed

The people claiming this are often the shareholders themselves.

prohibitively expensive to train for smaller applications.

There is so much work out there for free, with no copyright. The biggest cost in training is most likely the hardware, and I see no added value in having AI train on Stephen King โ˜ ๏ธ

Copyright is already just a band-aid for what is really an issue of resource allocation.

God damn right but I want our government to put a band aid on capitalists just stealing whatever the fuck they want "move fast and break things". It's yet another test for my confidence in the state. Every issue, a litmus test for how our society deals with the problems that arise.

Writers are rich because they've made artwork and sold it. I personally hold that to a higher value than CEOs.

Okay, find me a right winger who would vote against capital. I know there are some Republicans who would unionize, some who might even appreciate a few regulations. Certainly many who have a bit of compassion for the homeless. I don't know that I've met a right winger who questions the power of people who have money. That there is a 'job creator'.

I just tried Piped as a YouTube homepage and it was soooo slow to load. This post sounds good but invidious is giving me way better performance. Maybe the same cannot be said for the instance host, though.
