This is like Satan saying “We’re not going to be able to deal with mass corruption. Just burn everything. That’s the solution.”

That’s an interesting idea… Satan…

Depends on the context. Are you copying someone else’s identity in order to make a passable clone? Are you trying to sell that clone?

A duplication of someone’s voice, commercialized by an unauthorized source, is definitely a form of stealing.

Copying information illegally, such as private information held on a private device, is overwhelmingly illegal.

In general, copying information is only as legal as the purpose behind it.

No, they can make money without stealing. They just choose to steal and lie about it either way. It’s the worst kind of justification.

The investors are predominantly made up of the Rationalist Society. It doesn’t matter whether or not AI “makes money”. It matters that the development is steered as quickly as possible towards an end product of producing as much propaganda as possible.

The bottom line barely even matters in the bigger picture. If you’re paying someone to make propaganda, and the best way to do that is to steal from the masses, then they’ll do it regardless of whether or not the business model is “profitable” or not.

The lines drawn for AI are drawn by people who want to use it for misinformation and control. The justifications make it seem like the lines were drawn around a monetary system. No, that’s wrong.

Who cares about profitability when people are paying you under the table to run a mass crime ring.

Linux is the future.

Failing company? Invest into a propaganda program. People will definitely see the value in these shit brands going forward.

Calling it “stealing comments” is an interesting way of rewording for what is obviously bot spam.

You’re wrong on point #1. This isn’t being done per Sam Altman for commercial purposes. It’s being done per Microsoft in an attempt to remove the OpenAI board completely. Facebook recently shutdown its AI Ethics division.

All of this is happening in conjunction with each other. Large corporations are trying to privatize AI and using key personnel in the industry to make it seem like a good thing. This wasn’t just Sam Altman. Whoever drafted the letter demanding the board steps down is working with Microsoft to do this.

More than likely, that group went around spreading doomsday to the other employees in an attempt to scare them into fleeing the company.

Sam Altman is just a pawn.

I don’t know why people are disagreeing with you.

This is like someone setting up a fake stop on a public road to mug people.

You’re telling me that the state shouldn’t have the right to police the road to prevent that from happening?

Lemmy.people, are you high?

Oof… Yeah this.

When you have a corporation that acts as a stand in for the law, something very wrong has happened.

I have to strongly agree here. This needs to be a strongly written and enforced rule for social media. Dates and timestamps need to be extremely clear and a requirement for all sorts of news reporting.
