„Hey let‘s destroy this thing! It’s in my way and it‘s not perfect anyway!“
Hearing a lot of that rhetoric being thrown around lately. Especially by elites. It‘s like everyone suddenly wants to destroy things left and right, thinking it‘s in the way of something greater. What that something greater is? Not their concern.
I guess when your only tool is a hammer every problem really starts to look like a nail.
You wanna cuck small businesses and creators? Because I highly doubt these two guys have a better model. IP sucks, but it just needs to be dialed back from Disney’s corruption to a reasonable amount like 5-15 years. Not 75 years after the creators death like wtf with more shenanigans to extend it. Absolutely not. Like all things, IP and copyright laws are fucked because Corporations fucked them with lobbyists. If you see trouble, theres a corpo behind it.
Get rid of your silly protections and let Musky’s AI decide how much to pay you (if anything).
He would just replace 95% of artists with AI, then tell them he’s hiring for tesla for ultra-hardcore work times.
All your bases belong to them
Jack Dorsey is as irrelevant as Elon Musk. They can go fuck themselves like every other Technocrat.

The debate has drawn a mixed bag of reactions. Tech evangelist Chris Messina supported Dorsey’s stance. He wrote on BlueSky social, “Jack has a point" as “Automated IP fines/3-strike rules for AI infringement may become the substitute for putting poor people in jail for cannabis possession.”
Yeah, good thing that’s not still happening or anything…
/s
Can’t wait for the Square, Xhitter, and SpaceX code and blueprint leaks.
If you think this means all the sudden you too can pirate without consequences: lol keep dreaming serf
“There are much greater models [that we can skim a 30% fee from]”
Eww it never feels right to align with them on an issue.
Give us free rein over human culture. Our modern mythos, legend, and literature need not be deprived from public use due to capitalistic ownership.
I find this surprising, because frankly I agree.
I don’t know much about Dorsey, but in Musk’s case, I think this is another case of him espousing a good idea he’d never actually honor.
I think that anyone should be able to make movies with Mickey Mouse and no one should need to license code. But I suspect that like with free expression, these are values most proponents only like when it’s benefiting them.
Also, as for the alternatives to support creatives, I would say start with universal services. Universal housing, universal healthcare, universal education, universal food. We would have so much more art if we recognized that no one should have to “earn” their survival. Once that’s guaranteed – and abolish billionaires and extreme wealth inequality too – I think discussions over how to support creatives would take place from a much more favorable starting point.
It is so cute that you are taking them at their word.
abolish billionaires and extreme wealth inequality
This needs to be done first before any universal support is even possible. The billionaires are stealing our universal everything.
I’m not prescriptive in the order, but I would imagine they’re most likely to occur in tandem over a period of years.
It’s so convenient how they only got this opinion after AI became mainstream.
Like, I agree. But we all know that he’s not saying this out of the goodness of his heart. Completely removing any sort of IP laws right now would mean tech billionaires like him get free reign training AI models… And more importantly, making money with AI models.
IP law needs overhauling, but these are the last people (aside from Disney et al) I’d trust to draft the new ones.
Elon certainly talks a good line, but his actions don’t really follow. Like, I agree with this, eliminating intellectual property would be great. I am sure that whatever actions he tries in regards to this won’t actually follow through and will instead somehow be twisted to benefit him at the cost of others.
interesting, I do wonder how movie studios /streaming services will survive that. Some independent creators already mostly survive off commissions so would potentially be able to survive. Microsoft, Nintendo, adobe and Sony can get fucked.
