@jcoglan@mastodon.social And like every study showed that the average pirate spend a lot on buying (access to) the stuff they like, unlike corporations who won't pay even when courts order them to.

@jcoglan@mastodon.social I absolutely love AI, always have (even when it was very, very primitive back in the 20th century), I only hate it when it's owned by big capital and locked up in proprietary software. I think all AI should be open source, free to download and to install on any suitable machine, and instead of building bigger and bigger models, we should try to make small models that can't do "everything" all at once but just enough for a small number of use cases. I don't want some huge magical blob of code running at some computing centre, I want a small model that runs on my computer at home or maybe even on a Raspberry Pi without any Internet connection.

@jcoglan@mastodon.social exactly. the tricky thing about copyright is that it's a legal instrument, and capitalism tends to turn every legal system into a de facto weapon for capital to wield against anyone who opposes it / downwardly-redistributes it. strengthening copyright for corporations while weakening it for ordinary people (artists, etc) is the opposite direction anyone who genuinely wants to eventually dismantle it as a necessary institution should want to go.
