What's "so special" abou this is that Getty is one of the largest single copyright holders in the world and they know the licensing status of every piece of media in their collection, so any AI trained on those images is guaranteed liability-free for their clients."

the monetization schema is bullshit - it looks like the tiktok model where there's a giant pool of money split between all the creators every year with the size of that pool determined by "business growth" (ie in a way that prioritized the business and hands the remains to the creators) PLUS bits of the youtube model of constantly shifting goals and targets to keep planning ability for its creators at a minimum - but if you want to know why this AI that rips off artists is "better" than the rest, that's why.

ARS' spin is fucking gross, nothing in the actual article says anything close to what that headline is implying.

Everyone is looking for a franchise where you can tell the same stories, utilize the same characters, over and over again. That is why Star Wars is worth a billion and paramount is banking its future on shows like strange new worlds. If they hit it is easy money.

On the other hand, Amazon is buying rights to sports, which are so extravagant they can only be seen as loss leaders to gain subscribers. It is money down the drain.

Free speech means talking the hood with the bad. Social media is a threat to the powerful because they can no longer control the naraative. Trump and Alito have free access to the WSH to spin their tarns, but what do the rest of us have. Sure we will get stories about fake COVID remedies or how McConnell splices his DNA with tortoise DNA to stay young, but that is small price to pay when the mainstream media is pushing extraterrestrial UFO debris. This is the right decision even if it is for dubious reasons.

I donâ(TM)t know the number of sites I no longer visit. Twitter for one. They want too much money, or become useless, or donâ(TM)t like my comments. I know how to go away.

I know that for some, this is how they make their livelihood. But seriously, most of these, even /., are just toys. Have fun. Maybe learn a bit. Then go and have sex with someone.

In the US, as in much of the world, the aerospace industry is limited because it is dependent on government contracts. So Lockheed and Boeing are given free money so we have US military builder. Musk and Bezos fight over federal contracts. That we begin to build consumer based space flight is a very good thing
