    I find genAI imagery extremely uncanny and creepy, and I can’t condone the usage of a system whose creators yearn for a day where companies won’t have to pay human creators anymore and can simply funnel their funds directly into the pockets of giant corporations instead.

    Additionally, commercial-scale generative AI is already destroying the environment in communities across the world due to its power use.

    Also plagiarism: https://spectrum.ieee.org/amp/midjourney-copyright-2666872100

    Commercial image generation models are trained on real people’s copyrighted works with no regard for paying them for using said work, putting more money in large corporations’ pockets.

    It’s not something I can accept nor condone, and I will continue to shame people for facilitating the transfer of wealth and destruction of our environment.

    I thought we could do better on Lemmy than to lean on large, polluting technology companies for content, those same companies who have military deals to create civilian-killing robots.


















  • CC0 = Everyone owns it, no one can claim rights to it

    Copyleft = No one owns it, the code owns itself and claims rights to itself

    Since everyone paid for it, everyone owns it.

    If no one paid for it, or if a single owning entity is feeling benevolent, then copyleft is appropriate.

    I assume it would be difficult to get the consent of every US taxpayer to license this as copyleft, I believe CC0 (or proprietary, unfortunately) is the rightful default when in this situation. It’s debatable whether any government code should be proprietary, save for deployment secrets.
