If your business can't survive without theft, it isn't a business, it's a criminal organization.

I do not care. Get a real job.
Criminals Plead That They Can't Make Money Without Stealing Materials for Free.
People said the same thing to the RIAA a while back for sharing songs and they all got sued. So nah. They gotta pay to use.

"waaaaah please give us exemption so we can profit off of stolen works waaaaaaaahhhhhh"
pirated works 🙃
I've never made any money from pirating. Or at least I wouldn't have if I would have ever done such a thing.
Sounds a lot like a “you” problem, OpenAI.

So what would it take to get you in one of these?
Cool. If OpenAI gets a pass, then piracy should be legal, right? I mean what good is a trademark or copyright law?
Edit: "I can't make money without stealing other people's work" is definitely a take
No, see, piracy is just you downloading movies for yourself. To be like OpenAI you need to download it, put it in a pretty package with a bow, then sell it over and over again. Only when it’s piracy for profit do you get to beg and plead for a pass.
You skipped a crucial step: first you gotta raise a few hundred million in VC funding from Silicon Valley bigwigs!
But I'm an aspiring artist, without pirating thousands of movies and TV shows, I'll never make my 'highly profitable' magnum opus!

I'm going to start pirating again and if I ever get caught up I'll just inform them I'm training AI models.

So this is an open source public utility, right?
What crimes can I get away with using the same idea?
If they win, we can just train a CNN on a single 4k hdr movie until it's extremely fitted, and then it's legal to redistribute
In every other circumstance I can think of, “I can’t make money doing a thing unless I break the law” means don’t do that thing.
Why should AI get special treatment?
Because they already raised hundreds of millions from investors
The more the original work is transformed, the more likely it is to be considered fair use rather than infringement.
Because black numbers going up make shareholders happy

Even I should get a pass to view copyrighted movies and songs. I need it to train AI (Actual Intelligence).
Sounds like they need better bootstraps.
Or at least a business model.
This headline sounded familiar. The article's from 8 months ago, folks.
Right now, you can draw the line easily. There will come a time, not to far in the future where machines reading and summarizing copy written data will be the norm.
It's doesnt have to change yet, but eventually this will have to be properly handled.
