I guess I am slightly more cynical about copyright law. I view it as a tool by capital, for capital — doubly so in countries like the US where bribery is legal in all but name.
Right now the stock market is fully leveraged on AI. I don't see how the US would ever find itself in a position where a Supreme Court ruling would ever intentionally put the entire economy in peril.

@yosh@toot.yosh.is Perhaps, though the recent ruling could have massive impacts. I suspect you're still right, until it becomes convenient for the people in power to enforce things and attack their enemies with it. https://www.engadget.com/ai/the-supreme-court-doesnt-care-if-you-want-to-copyright-your-ai-generated-art-171849407.html

@yosh@yosh.is @soph@grrl.me I see this argument all the time: that A.I. will somehow end the copyright laws and we'll somehow magically end up in a better situation. I think this is an extremely naive stance. If copyright law is "a tool of capital", why would its sucessor, brought about by A.I. tech-capitalism, not be equally as bad, or even worse?
