      Yes that would be the danger of precedent should the case ultimately be decided in GRRM’s favor. The winners of the AI bubble are going to be authors, it turns out, receiving whatever assets aren’t physically burnt to power the stupid lying machines in settlements and copyright infringement awards whenever the idiots do try to fight it.

        with the investment bubble how it is and the U.S. economy how it is I don’t think there will be any winners from the collapse except for the Chinese really

        not that I’m saying “don’t pop it” just like haha this-is-fine i live here. We bought a house a year ago and money is increasingly stressful. If my partner loses her job, that’s it for the house, I can’t keep up with it on my own. And shit, they might get rid of me if they have to “tighten the budget” since I just serve vegan food for lunch. I tell myself I’ll always have a job because kids will always be going to college but that isn’t a fuckin’ guarantee. I’m just in constant doomer mode so that at least I expect the hell we live in

          I feel you, the Russia-Ukraine War already cost me my first job and now the AI bubble will likely cost me my second.

          But financial stability was always a fiction not a fact for me. The more important thing is that it will produce a large source of revolutionary fervor, which a organized far left can direct to victory.

        Probably not. Any ruling that favors the highest profile, wealthiest authors will just be used as precedent to let media corporations and content hosts get a payout. Propertarian rulings always favor the largest property holders, and whenever some company is being liquidated the richest and most powerful stake holders in their debts always find a way to take all there is to take.

      The judge took one look at the 14 pages ChatGPT generated to describe a meal and said “I’ve seen enough here.”

    Remember what happened to that OpenAI employee who accused them of breaking copyright law? And he was a strapping young lad whereas people already had GRR Martin on their death pools for decades.

    AI overlords getting shot with a crossbow by GRRM while taking a shit would be pretty funny (no I haven’t read the books).
