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.

That's kinda weird regarding copyright. With copyright, all usage permissions are opt-in. Any kind of usage that isn't expressly allowed is prohibited.
Except of fair use, which cannot be prohibited.
So either AI training is fair use and thus cannot be prohibited, or it isn't and then it's already prohibited.
Either way, expressly prohibiting it does nothing, legally speaking.
But opens the door for a legal battle that desperately needs to happen.
