Ripping off content to train AI wasn’t going to fly with either MAGA populists or MAGA media.
What initially appeared to be a power play by Elon Musk and DOGE to take over the US Copyright Office by having Donald Trump remove the officials in charge has now backfired in spectacular fashion, as Trump’s acting replacements are known to be unfriendly — and even downright hostile — to the tech industry.
The appointments of Blanche, Perkins, and Nieves are the result of furious lobbying over the weekend by the conservative content industry — as jealously protective of its copyrighted works as any other media companies — as well as populist Republican lawmakers and lawyers, all enraged that Silicon Valley had somehow persuaded Trump to fire someone who’d recently criticized AI companies.
What Musk wants from the government is fundamentally different from what the freaky christo-fascists want. Musk has already lost.
Yeah, the christofascists and the technofascists are both groups of unbearably abrasive control freaks, and neither of them can stand to give up one miniscule bit of power. It’d be delicious if their edgelord ideologies weren’t so dangerous to the rest of us.
The Heritage Foundation may have planned this governmental takeover better than the techbros. Where they conflict, the Heritage Foundation will likely win.
Odd to side with one fascist organization over another. They both are traitorous, evil burdens on humanity. Placing their profit margins above stability.
That’s what they don’t get. Integrity and morality provide stability to a civilization. Minor deviations can be absorbed, but throwing away any semblance of basic decency and goodness destroys the foundation of civilization.
To be fair, that’s how the Nazis worked too. This image of a singular Nazi state with one goal is a myth.
The top leaders of Nazi Germany were constantly at war with each other for Hitlers approval.
No, they get that. They WANT that. It’s what the dark enlightenment bullshit is all about, and the religious nutjobs think it’ll bring about the kingdom of heaven. They both want civilization in shambles, completely unable to resist their authoritarian fantasies.
That’s why it’s called anti-social personality disorder.
Autophagy is a natural occurrence. And predicted.
The copyright industry isnt our friend. Neither of them are fighting for us, they are fighting over who gets to fuck us over.
(X) Doubt.
All that matters is loyalty. They may vote in a certain manner for the majority of cases, but what matters are the critical cases of interest to their overlords.
Okay ❤️
Yay ❤️
