Looking to China for ethical business practice seems pretty bad to me. I don't think some imaginary race to agi is a good excuse for violating the rights of thousands of people. If you're getting value out of someone's data and they're not being compensated, some kind of shitty externality is happening. Hurting authors and artists to the point that they make fewer works that can be fed to the AI also hurts AI companies in the long run, and also it sucks a lot.
- firecall 3y agoNo one is looking to China for ethical business practice. Copyright ethics are something we have invented. China chooses not to follow western copyright regulations. That’s not unethical, to them anyway. Indeed, Copyright law was originally intended to allow people to legally copy things, not protect corporate interests for an eternity!
- startupsfail 3y agoThe question here could be who is first to AGI. If it is an authoritarian regime with leadership standing side by side with Putin, things would likely suck a lot more, even if we consider training neural networks from books (learning from books) to be a copyright violation.
