Something I really don't understand about AI companies buying the rights to steal content from social media to feed their data training sets is, well. It's illegal as hell.
That content does not belong to the social media companies to start with. Personal data is a bit nebulous as it is, and some countries have better protection about it than others, but posting a picture on tumblr doesn't mean that Automatic automatically has the right to use, distribute and sell it as it sees fit.
I mean. Official accounts for big companies like Disney use social media for advertising. But posting a picture of Elsa on Twitter doesn't mean they're giving Twitter the right to use and sell that picture. But suddenly Twitter sells the nebulous ability to "scrape content from Twitter for AI training", so now Midjourney owns that picture of Elsa? What's the fucking ruling there?
People own the rights of what they have created even without officially registering it for trademarking (which is expensive as hell, by the way). Social media selling content means that they are selling copyrighted material created by its users- Some of it coming from big companies that have trademarked the shit out of everything, some of it coming from small creators who STILL have the rights to what they've created even without a trademark.
Curently, what you produce through AI generators is not actually copyrighted, since it was not made by a human, but what gets fed into the data training sets is often copyrighted material from unconsenting people. It basically is a copyright laundering scheme.
I do wholeheartedly hope that some regulations will be put in place, and hoping that big companies will, at least, do their best to help this case even if its just to protect their own IPs and property. Given how overprotective have Disney, Nintendo and other big names been about their content, I can't expect they'll be happy having it being sold to Midjourney, OpenAI and other crap for free, without their consent.
new pinned, might as well try and warn y'all what you're in for here

yeah but then i pose a risk of my parents coming home and seeing me do nothing... will save this advice for when that's not an issue anymore though
im so serious about this but if youre autistic and especially if youre chronically ill creative labour cannot be your only way to relax. working on a creative project is still working. take time to do nothing. its good for you i promise.
I don't give a fuck if you hate Biden, but remember if T***p gets elected again, we will be going back to where abortions are illegal, LGBTQIA+ people have no rights, more hate, more police killing people, and tons of other shitty things
I don't care what you think about Biden, we just can't have the orange douchebag in the white house again
you say usable against its will but like hey at least it's not fucking reddit

any fellow r/stunfisk slitherers get a sneak preview of my opus coming tomorrow:
crazy how fanfic authors drop the most beautiful and gorgeous pieces of work ever, leaving you speechless and sobbing at three in the morning as you quietly contemplate the masterpiece you just read
and they don’t get paid for it they just do it because they’re having fun and they want to share their joy with you
like I would literally die for all of you fanfic authors out there reblog to swear your allegiance to fanfic authors
so i played through the entirety of Violet without finding a single shiny, until i did my first sandwich hunt for an Iron Valiant in Area Zero. sounds alright, right?
well, today i learned that my little brother who's halfway through the game has already found two shinies by complete accident;
like, i'm obviously proud of him, but like wow my ass rolled a 4 in luck so he could roll the 18
