  1. Yeah they’re going to lose against the techno-oligarchy, they’re just too rich and too powerful these days.

  2. I never thought that I’d agree with something on the Frontpage of the Sun or Daily Mail…

    … though I’m assuming it’s an ad all the musicians, writers, etc paid to put in all these papers, not an actual editorial decision from these rags.

    >! Though I had actually thought it was something to do with Reform before I actually read it at first because of the font and colour looking similar!<

    A whole bunch of musicians also put out a silent protest album for the same reason. Fair play to them.

  3. The Sun doing something right.

    What a timeline we’re living in.

  4. Proof that the only thing that will unite humanity is hating robots.

  5. Given that ‘The Sun’ is advocating for it, there must be an agenda that they don’t like about this re: Apple / govt. Maybe it makes it easier for police to tell if their journalists are hacking phones.

    Then again, maybe and just maybe – they’re for once acting in public good.

  6. Lol, same cnts will happily let ai write bs articles and ads for them

  7. Hmmm that’s an X For Doubt from me. Cant imagine Murdoch and Daily Mail have much interest in protecting creativity.

  8. I don’t get the argument, and I’m going to be in the minority on this.

    Legislating against the use of UK AI modelling will not do anything to protect artists material being used in modelling within the US, China, and elsewhere. So it doesn’t actually offer any real tangible protections, but it will definitely cripple and hinder our own domestic industry on this and reduce the investment viability of the UK for future AI projects in the UK.

    At the end of the day, you can still legislate the outputs for copyright infringement but it doesn’t make much sense to cripple our supposedly growing industry that the government is relying on to produce growth over the next few decades for basically no reason.

    This sort of stuff probably requires global alignment in order to be effective, without that we’re just shooting ourselves in the foot.

  9. I can’t see legislation making any difference at all. The average graphic designer, photographer or musician won’t be able to mount a legal battle against global tech firms, much less against open source AI in China. Might not be right, but it’s the reality. Also how much does a source work have to be modified by AI before it’s new?

    Never mind the fact that AI is currently a huge, unprofitable bubble that poses far less “threat” to creativity than it might seem.

  10. Yeah, an ultimately futile flex from a group who can afford the same advert across all the titles, although an impressive feat that likely cost a few quid.

    Not one of the bastards running these papers wouldn’t have the whole thing done by AI if they could get away with it.
