Complete bullshit. Any musician can register for copyright payouts and all musicians involved in a production get something.

Instead, of course the money should go to Silicon Valley mafiosi and middlemen!


Copyright payouts (especially from streaming) are a small fraction, often negligible, of the livelihood of a professional musician. Keep in mind that in a world with free models, anyone could create AI music without silicon valley's involvement. My assumption is that "bad" music would be replaced by AI, while "good" music would not because AI simply wouldn't be able to deliver the goods.

Now, if AI could literally replace every musician, that would obviously be bad. But I don't think that banning it would solve the problem. If society as a whole is so against AI music that banning it is politically popular, it's because they don't like AI music to begin with - nothing to fear, then.


Yeah, we need Musk and Amodei steal all the output of filthy and lazy people like Rihanna and become trillionaires in the process!

Down with musicians! Equality now! Give Jensen Huang a cut also!


Fortunately it is almost impossible to set up a new account. The sign-up process is totally broken, links in the docs are stale and everything looks vibe coded. And they want a phone number and possibly an ID.

Nitter is good software, I have no idea how Twitter users put up with this garbage fire.


He has been positive about corporations and mainstream propaganda since his CoC "retreat". He is no rebel anymore.

Now Nvidia is also premium sponsor of the Linux Foundation.
