I have never been worried about the advancement of technology. I am worried about the people that control the technology.

Was reading that and all I could think about was the silver orbs from Phantasm.

Yes Altman is definitely someone we need to keep an eye on to make sure he doesn’t try to get a copyright assigned to OpenAI for everything their AIs create.
This reminds me a bit of a Charles Stross novel.
I’d rather artists get paid personally.
Does copyright pay artists? As it seems to me it pays copyright holders collecting them like trading cards and Artists getting paid is more a side effect.
Copyright concerns redistribution but if one gets paid a satisfied amount in a patron model (before production) you don’t “need” copyright. For work that is copyrighted many consider a Creative Common license that permits redistribution.
If royalties are paid, in most cases the artist will get some. How much depends on the contract he signed. I agree it’s not a great system. I’d like to see some direct licensing with the artist rather than what we have today, but something is still better than nothing.
