I mean, we live in a capitalist society that rewards that kind of behavior but more so, as a musician he has the right to defend his art from “theft”. IA responded appropriately. Realistically, a competent digital rights lawyer should have stopped him before it became news… but I don’t see him as being a sociopath.
Can’t blame him for trying. I’m glad the IA stood up to him or it could have been the beginning of the end for the archive.
You can’t tell by the giant frames that never fit anyone’s face and the giant circular cameras with a recording indicator? Even if you disable the indicator, I would just assume they are always recording.
Same thing came up in the 90’s with pinhole cameras. Jackass used them and they all looked like narcs.
The number of cameras you’re on every day, being surveillance by government agencies/affiliates, should be this academic’s priority. Not the AmericanTurk doing food reviews.
Ok. Let’s say this app does find the glasses, then what? More Karen’s that don’t understand what “reasonable expectation of privacy” means?
My kid wants to be verified on Roblox sooooooo bad so he can defend himself against trolls. It’s actually been a good lesson in ignoring those idiots like water off a ducks back.
By that logic, AI engineers can just say they’re an archive and steal IP from artists to “lend” it to their LLM? I’m not saying the dude was in the right, I’m saying calling yourself an archive doesn’t automatically make you immune to IP challenges. When IA started “controlled digital lending” shortly after the pandemic, they started taking fire from creators.
An archive archives things. It’s not a library, it’s not a tor host, and CDL shouldn’t have happened… but everyone was on lockdown.
