@jaystephens @MMantscheffAu I'd say go ahead and kill the AI industry.

@jaystephens @MMantscheffAu Kill the AI industry before it breeds!

@jaystephens @mmantscheffau.bsky.social I call bullshit. 💩 If tht AI industry is so fragile, then let it die. I’m sure they could figure out how to use AI to do it, if they put their minds to it.

@jaystephens@mastodon.social @mmantscheffau.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy Tell me you have been paid by the AI lobby, without telling you have been paid by AI lobby. Nick Clegg will go first....

@jaystephens @mmantscheffau.bsky.social If generative AI can't survive in the marketplace without being propped up by government subsidies and legal loopholes, then it should die. That's how free market capitalism works—or do their beliefs only apply when they're making policy for poor people, not predatory industries?

@jaystephens How is my auto sales business to survive if I can't steal cars? @mmantscheffau.bsky.social

@nini@oldbytes.space 2025-10-09 12:29
@jaystephens @mmantscheffau.bsky.social Again, if you need to steal to enable your business to operate then you're not running a legitimate business but a criminal organisation.

@jaystephens @mmantscheffau.bsky.social > "Asking for use permission would kill the AI industry" Don't threaten me with a good time!

@jaystephens @mmantscheffau.bsky.social and put a price on the AI bubble to see just how ‘priceless’ free IP infringement is.

@jaystephens One might almost suppose that all property, whether intellectual or physical, becomes worthless if the state decides not to defend it.

@Lazarou@mastodon.social 2025-10-09 13:34
@jaystephens @mmantscheffau.bsky.social I presume Artists have had a whip around and raised funds to pay Prick Clegg to speak for them, because that's the only reason that guy opens his mouth now. This AI hustle is an insult to Life itself, to paraphrase Hayao Miyazaki

@rejzor@mastodon.social 2025-10-09 13:37
@jaystephens @mmantscheffau.bsky.social Interesting they call selling pirated stuff "Industry". I guess The Pirate Bay's only mistake was not claiming they are the industry and they were considered as thieves. Heh.

@Kerplunk@mastodon.scot 2025-10-09 14:16
@jaystephens @mmantscheffau.bsky.social Asking Artists for permission would kill the AI industry. In that case F Off nick Clegg nobody should be paying you for anything because your art is HOT AIR LIES AND BULLSHIT just not hot enough to be useful for anything.

@jaystephens @mmantscheffau.bsky.social that's just how capitalism works. We either kill it, or it kills all of us. We could stop it very simply , just by stopping and focusing on each other and sharing, until the capitalists kill each other in the fight for supremacy.

Wow. Capitalists saying the quiet part out loud. If they have to recognize or compensate creators and workers adequately, they would fail.

@jaystephens @mmantscheffau.bsky.social Well Nick, If AI can't exist without theft, it doesn't deserve to exist.

@jaystephens@mastodon.social @mmantscheffau.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy If just asking artists for permission would kill the industry, THEN IT FULLY DESERVES TO DIE. That statement is an open admission that the entire "AI" industry is built upon theft.
