A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

In a surprising move, Japan’s government recently reaffirmed that it will not enforce copyrights on data used in AI training. The policy allows AI to use any data “regardless of whether it is for non-profit or commercial purposes, whether it is an act other than reproduction, or whether it is content obtained from illegal sites or otherwise.”

@noodlejetski Wow, not _that_ is a hot take for the Japanese government...!

  1. move to Japan
  2. train Midjourney on a set of Nintendo characters
  3. release an AI-assisted video game called Hyper Crash Siblings

@noodlejetski My best guess is that you can TRAIN the AI for that, but if what you generate is clearly a trademark/copyright infringement, then you could still be prosecuted.
