OpenAI has already threatened to leave Europe if it gets regulated too hard. Imagine GEMA being the ones to drive the chatbots out of Germany.

...I didn't think I'd ever end up cheering on GEMA.

@nightsky @dgerard

Wouldn't that be great?

@nightsky I will still not cheer them on. Just because they are right now a bunch of dicks at somebody who deserves it doesn’t mean they are any less of a bunch of dicks. If they take down OpenAI - good for us. For them it‘s just a side-effect of their general bunch‘o‘dickery.

Its still innovation. Driving away innovation is never a good idea. :/

putting you on a PIP because you’ve failed to innovate past innovation

....huh, Posting Improvement Plans probably do need to be a thing the internet has

@Nomad @nightsky valuing innovation over ethics is never a good choice.

we've re-learned this so many times, it should be already ingrained into any engineering and scientific teaching.

but there's always a clever idiot who thinks that this time, this one time it will be special, it will be different.

if only anyone studied any IBM/VW/... history, we could've known things. alas, no-one could have ever undertaken such an endeavour, and the outcomes of such "innovation" and "drive" are unknowable! oh, woe is us, forlorn in the quest for ever improving whatsoever

GEMA versus OpenAI. Whoever wins, we all lose.

But I'm still happy to see them fight.

"Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with GEMA."

"What about side by side with a friend?"

"Lol good one get fucked."
