@br00t4c oh people mentioned it.

@inthehands @jaykuo yet the polls are saying trump is above water on approval ratings. 🤔

@kaia little long. Norte de México works. I mean the ‘Unidos’ part is just a straight lie at this point anyway.

@inthehands there’s a history of trying to negotiate with fascist nationalists. It tends not to end well.

@inthehands well yeah but we already knew that. It’s like one of his go to moves. But that’s just brand maintenance for his cult. What he got them to promise was redeployment of their security forces to please him. That’s a real thing (assuming they actually do it). Also not something a truly sovereign nation should allow. And again, they got 30 days.

@inthehands i read that piece. What it looks like to me is that trump has demonstrated he can dictate policy to foreign nations dependent on their US trade relations and get them to comply in exchange for a promise (a promise from fucking trump no less) not to crash their economies for another month. If canada and mexico are smart they’ll use those 30 days to develop other markets for their goods.

@jeffowski @iinac @aziz @blogdiva you think a company having to pay out more $ in liability then it has available does not logically lead to it going out of business?

@jeffowski @iinac @aziz @blogdiva no logical fallacy, just an understanding of the scale of data (content) theft that has occurred.

@dalias @blogdiva don’t put it on Canada to save us. Just saying.

@blogdiva right? Like fuck DC, resist where you are. 👍

@br00t4c by holding hearings that they don’t run. He’s just pissed the rest of the gop is making him go through the motions.

@hellomiakoda @blogdiva if it comes to that we should take care of it ourselves. Not on Canada to save us.

@br00t4c well there are many real reasons but yeah.

@br00t4c it’s not like anyone who wouldn’t got put up for any trump WH post.

@iinac @aziz @jeffowski @blogdiva absolutely. The issue you and I are having is that we disagree that there’s a way to do what your proposing that makes financial sense for both the provider/producer of the data and the business training the model.

@iinac @aziz @jeffowski @blogdiva Let’s just say we apply US copyright law to the art ai companies have already used. (We should btw). Any dollar amounts paid out that would have any material benefit to the artists would immediately end those companies. And America didn’t lose it’s advantage, american AI companies did (assuming deepseek works as advertised)

@jeffowski @aziz You’re taking a model you understand and attempting to apply it to a very different thing you don’t appear to understand. AI companies cannot pay artists enough for the amount of art (data) needed to make it worth it to the artist and have a profitable business. Hell, it’s not even clear they can be profitable currently when they’re just stealing it.

@jeffowski @aziz none of those are ai. They are basically resellers. AI isn’t taking a book, a movie, a song (or many, many books, etc) and providing mass distribution of that work to more people than an artist could possibly reach on their own. I’m not proposing banning anything like that.

@aziz @jeffowski @iinac @blogdiva never said too complex. Said not doable, not feasible. Said why. As far as ‘prohibition doesn’t work’? Copyright law prohibits use of other people’s IP without permission. Guess copyright law doesn’t work then?

@jeffowski @aziz @iinac @blogdiva which again artists opt into using because it provides some value to them. Are you honestly claiming that you had custom, individual licensing agreements with each artist whose work was in iTunes?
