And we vote them in because the people that will do shit will inevitably fuck with the money of affluent neo-liberals.

But useful idiots on lemmy keep telling me it’s china doing all the surveillance through companies.

So let’s make that world.

I swear, it’s just sad watching how stupid most people are in regards to AI and working.

It’s like, the entire point of getting paid for a job is because it’s something we wouldn’t otherwise do for free. Using machines to do the work that we wouldn’t do unless we got paid for has been the direction we’ve been going in since the invention of the fucking wheel.

This is hypocrisy, greed, and entitlement on full display. Neo-liberal white collar workers are mad they’re now experiencing the same fate blue collar workers experienced decades ago.

Good. It’s sad and telling to see white-collar workers get angry about being replaced by machines.

You people didn’t care when it was blue-collar workers being replaced.

Hypocrites.

It doesn’t have to be as obvious as mass layoffs.

Creators will receive fewer contracts because a lot of the potboiling crap they were making can be done just as well or better by a computer.

AI has been able to take over the mediocre work by people who should be ashamed to call themselves creators in the first place.

Don’t believe the hype.

Ever.

A major label or corporation could just take it, polish it, and release it as their own without any consequences.

How would that corporation make money off of it without copyright and patent laws?

How is disney going to make its money without copyright and patent laws?

How will their movies sell if it’s legal for anyone to copy and redistribute them?

How will they make as much money off of merchandise if they have to legally compete with people who don’t hold copyrights to their IP?

The only “Lol” here is how proud you people are for being useful idiots. This is why things are the way they are.

We can continue this discussion after you’ve learned how to read.

No. He never should have had that wealth to begin with.

Most musicians and inventors never make any significant amounts money off of their music or inventions.

There is an extremely small pool of creators who make an egregious amount of money off of their creations.

A large company or musician could essentially steal your work and make money off of it

They would make less money overall if they did not have copyright and patent laws to help them. It’s sad watching you people go to bat for laws that exist solely to make rich people richer, but it’s why you’re average.

Things like rent won’t be so expensive because landlords will have less of an excuse to charge customers more money. So, in essence you’re not even arguing for compensating creators for their work; you’re arguing for compensating their feudal lords.

when one of those much bigger corporations you seem to hate simply steal their work and profit off of it?

Corporations will also make less money because there are no copyright and patent laws. Your cognitive dissonance is on full display here.

This is how we put more money in the hands of the working class. It’'s sad watching you fight tooth and nail against it just as you’ve been conditioned to do.

This means Bill Gates gets to dictate where society goes instead of society.

All our fault for not having strong citizen watchdogs

We’re all too busy playing fortnite and watching marvel movies.

Kind of.

You can set your upload limit to 0 and not seed anything while still downloading.

Downloading is still 100% illegal in the US, though. However it’s up to the copyright holders to pursue criminal penalties, which I’m surprised isn’t happening with facebook.

Everyone who has evidence that facebook illegally downloaded their copyrighted material has a case to bring before a court.

The solution is to get rid of copyright and patent laws.

They do not benefit the working class and anyone who tells you otherwise is a useful idiot.

Analogies are fallacies. All they do is reveal that you can’t argue the merits of the topic at hand, so you need to derail and distract by pivoting to something else.

Now we need to debate the accuracy of your analogy, which is never 1:1, instead of talking about what we were talking about previously.

You’re also arguing with the wrong person. You should be talking to the person who argued “AI is a negative because pretty much nobody likes it” instead of the person who says it’s not true that “nobody likes it.”

You’re literally only looking for an angle to shit on AI so you can fit in with the average idiots.

AI discussion at this point are litmus tests for who is average that lets other average people do their thinking for them. It really puts into perspective how much popular opinion should be scrutinized.
