A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

We generally had the reasonable rule that property ends at dead. Intellectual property extending beyond the grave is corporatist 21st century bullshit. In the past all writing got quickly into the public domain like it should. Depending on country within in at least 25 years of the publishing date to the authors dead. Project Gutenberg reflects the law and reasonable practice to allow writing to go into the public domain.

Good focus on 1 point, sadly bad point to focus on.

What is lawful and legal, is not what is moral.

The Holocaust was legal.

Try again. Let's start. Should the invention of ai have an influence on how we treat data? Is there a difference between reproducing a work after the author's death and using possible millennia of public domain data to destroy the economical validity of a profession? If there is, should public domain law consider that? Has the general public discuss these points and come to a consensus? Has that consensus been put in law?

No? Sounds like the law is not up to date to the tech. So not only is legal not Moral, legal isn't up to date.

You understand the point of public domain, right? You understand that even if you were right (you aren't), that it would resolve the other issues, right?
