Elsevier on the other hand. Same deal as ever, if you want knowledge, pay for it. Writers deserve food on the table, and have the right to have control over who sees their work for economic or strategic reasons.
No one owes you anything
- oezi 2y agoElsevier is a scientific publisher which doesn't pay writers at all. Public money paid the researchers, results should be free.
- bumby 2y agoThere is already a mandate that publicly funded research will be open access going forward (in the US). There are loopholes though, that I exist will be used just because it’s cheaper and quicker to do so. There’s also plenty of research published that is not publicly funded.
- bonestamp2 2y agoI agree the results should be free for personal use, but not for commercial use (such as training paid AIs). Training free AIs is probably fine. Similar to how it's free to use google maps in your project if your use is free to everyone, but you must pay if you're charging people to use it.
- dcow 2y agoAn AI that doesn't know the little mermaid would have trouble interfacing contextually with a society where it’s common knowledge.

- NicuCalcea 2y ago"This product would not work without copyright infringement" is not a good argument.
- TeMPOraL 2y agoElseiver is a racket. They're making money hand over fist gatekeeping world's research output, while rewarding no one doing actual research or editorial world. As for the rest, I'm in favor of being able to train AI freely on works of culture. Current copyright regime is suffocating culture already pretty badly, let's not make it worse.
