I always thought the machines would do the labour, and the people would make the art. Yet here we are.

Itโ€™s absolutely being used to avoid employing or paying people. Or giving them โ€˜editingโ€™ jobs for a fraction of the pay.

Internet Archive also lost its copyright case. So generative AI/LLMs get to access and to take everything but humans arenโ€™t allowed to have an archive of resources that would otherwise be lost.

Seriously fuck this corporate netscape

That fucking sucks. I've relied on internet archive a lot in the past. Wish I had enough storage to grab parts of it before they got taken down.

They havenโ€™t been taken down but they did lose access to 500,000 books.
