Nick Clegg says that a law requiring tech companies to ask permission to train AI on copyrighted work would ‘kill’ the industry, according to The Times.
Okay, maybe let it die then. Maybe we can get back to building tech that actually works rather than hyping up hallucinating plagiarism machines in order to fluff up corporate quarterly reports.
If generative AI just went away tomorrow, it would be a net positive for the world.
@mos_8502 congratulations 🎉
