Narrator: they can't

...and they shouldn't even if they could.

Nobody can regulate themselves, that's like... the whole point of regulation

[–] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

Spoiler alert: No business regulates themselves effectively. Those that do only do it under duress of govt doing it if they don't.

Expand that to any of the toddler-brained tech bros and you've got a plan started.

Hey shill here. I also shill for other artistic tools like cameras and CGI. Got a lot of hate back when CGI and digital painting were still controversial. Don't know if such "art" will ever truly be accepted by the art police, i guess AI art tools will join them.

Personally I think independent artists can accomplish much more with tools like these than they could just pretending to be a Disney art director with all the pretend Disney interns not actually helping their vision come to life.

I like when art isn't monopolized by the ones with all the money. I also like when we allow open models that aren't proprietary adobe subscriptions.

Also this thread is hilarious. OpenAI are literally asking to be regulated by more democratic external bodies. They've been making every effort one could expect on this front, but I guess that doesn't matter?

It's like when Altman went to the senate and said "regulate larger and more capable models like we will have, but don't stifle and limit open source and smaller startups"

And everyone started bashing openAI for encouraging regulation of open source.

If I'm a brain dead tech bro, at least I have decades of familiarity with art, copywrite woes, and AI/ML. Back in school I was just called a nerd, but I guess that framing doesn't really work these days so i need to be compared to frat bro adventure capitalists every time I have an opinion that's not negative to new technologies.

Just so you know I was referencing turds like Elon Musk, whatever his name is at OpenAI and spez. That kind of excrement.

In other words, this is more corporate propaganda trying to vilify open source LLMs because they can bypass regulations.

[–] trackcharlie@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 2 years ago

Tell me one industry that's ever self regulated properly.

They can't, businesses explicitly are incompatible with self-regulation. I'm not saying let's overregulate the hell out of everything and stop all growth and prevent anything from being possible, but I think there's probably a middle ground here.
