Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Good Luck Stopping AI”.
This is great. Universal Music Group saw this on Earth. Technica demands that platforms block AI scraping of music um, so they have apparently told streaming platforms like apple, music and Spotify, to block AI services from scraping Melodies and lyrics from songs that it holds the copyright to bro. That’S insanely like impossibly hard to do also just utterly well, I’m looking for a word, in effect like what what’s the strongest possible word for ineffective, futile, let’s go with futile. Do you imagine, okay, that there that that, just because Spotify and apple music block this that there is no other way to train these music generation AIS on your songs? If you can play a song, There’s no way to capture that sound, it’s actually impossible.
You definitely cannot capture the sound of something that you play through your device. No, I mean we’d have to invent like a diaphragm that that kind of senses like Sonic vibrations, too complicated um, I mean how could but, but how could you possibly? How could you possibly turn that vibration into into a signal, though, especially when, like it’s it’s streaming, it’s technically being like downloaded to your computer in a raw data State I mean: how could you get that look to produce? Look, I mean wait. No, that’s that’s impossible, but but back back to the hold on, I think I’ve got an idea back to the idea of the vibrating diaphragm. Maybe if there maybe, if you had magnets involved somehow, but then how are you going to manufacture things as precise you’d need? Some kind of you need some kind of conductive material, though that could carry whatever signals back to some kind of recording device. So we’re back to your problem, we would need a recording device. You might need an interface in between there as well to like properly wear out yeah it would. It would wear out because you’d have to have electrons flowing through it. That’S that’s a problem, and it would, it would constantly fail like electrons are basically like they’re like energy. I don’t know if physics will ever be because they’re they’re mass and they have a charge they’re, like both sides of E, equals MC squared right, they’re, mass and energy yeah. You can’t balance that equation. Anyways so they’ve been sending out a large number of takedown notices against AI generated songs that come from AIS trained on copyrighted materials. According to a Universal Music spokesperson, we have a moral and Commercial responsibility to our artists to work, to prevent the unauthorized use of their music and to stop platforms from ingesting content that violates the right of artists and other creators.
We expect our platform Partners will want to prevent their services from being used in ways that harm artists, Noble goal. It just doesn’t matter. Oh yeah, it’s like the six month pause thing. It’S like yeah.
I understand why you would want this yeah. I understand why Universal Media Group would would Universal music groups. Sorry, I applied our own naming scheme to them um. I understand why they would want to do this.
It’S just completely irrelevant and futile. Like you mentioned it just doesn’t matter. Is you the discussion question is: is Universal Music, correct and demanding this? Can they even stop it correct, like yeah, probably sure yeah yeah, like from a legal standpoint yeah for sure they need to try to defend against these things like if I was writing uh? If I was writing a video platform code, okay – and I was just like well, why don’t I just steal, YouTube and twitch and Netflix’s like source code, use it to train an AI and then have an AI right, a video platform? For me, I want to start a new streaming platform, even if it’s legal, it’s pretty unethical yeah twitch recently had this huge leak I’ll just take all their stuff. Oh well, yeah yeah, exactly okay, yeah! So, even if it was legal and you couldn’t prove it, it’s extremely unethical – I mean otherwise. Why would we have intellectual property rights at all um yeah, but can they do anything to stop music from being listened to? Imagine being Universal music group and that being your goal, good luck, yeah quite the pivot! Ah, .
