Consensus among the number crunchers seems to be they don’t matter much, with maybe a 0.3 point swing in home state if popular, or a very small anchor nationally if it’s Sarah Palin? These things are basically impossible to measure of course. And 2016 would’ve gone different if a gnat farted so

Almost the whole world has the weird rotting dictatorship of the pensioners thing going on, though I’ll grant you that straight people in much of Europe probably have an easier time making friends

Under the law as currently applied and interpreted, their copyrights aren’t being violated except by end users. Kind of an old issue; digital piracy has gone mostly unpunished for decades. If we want artists to have a moral right to control whether their work is used in training we have to invent it

I think the reasoning there is sound enough (the user doesn’t have enough control over midjourney for it to be their expression) but kind of falls apart if you apply it to something like stable diffusion where you can control almost every aspect of generation

We don’t need new laws for that; if I get chatgpt to output copyrighted text and publish it in a way that is not fair use, existing laws cover it
The copyright office has also held that midjourney outputs cannot be copyrighted, though they can be used as part of a more broadly copyrighted work

Copyright law prohibits the publication/distribution of whole paragraphs of text without permission or license (sometimes) it does not prevent the “use”

Yeah, the US is definitely uniquely libertarian on speech in that regard, I just don’t know about international fair use permissions specifically

This reminds me of all the arguments about how “section 230 prohibits this common conduct because we didn’t have Twitter/whatever when it was written”. No it doesn’t. That’s not true. When technology changes, if we want the laws to address in new ways, we write new laws. Like section 230

If an artist cuts up a picture and then reassembles the same picture and calls it a collage and publishes it and attempts to monetize it, the scissors and glue are not at fault
