Comment Re:Legally mandated data retention (Score 1) 33

NYT is making copyright a weapon against creative freedom. With each new work they publish, they reduce our freedom to create. Copyrights last for too long, and have been changed from protecting expression to protecting abstractions. The AFC (abstraction filtration comparison) test and the "total concept and feel" interpretations basically make it impossible to do due diligence, nobody can ensure they don't infringe any abstract idea in all the published works. The law is biased against new creatives and public domain. In fact copyright is extremely outdated, we prefer cooperation, sharing, and doing things together now, and that doesn't work when everyone holds to their royalties like NYT. And focusing on AI infringement is far fetched, AI is by design not a replication machine, copying is a million times easier to achieve already. AI is used for novel outputs.

> creators, whether they’re indie artists or billion dollar studios, deserve compensation when their work is harvested as fuel for someone else’s generative model.

Ok, let's assume this idea. Who should pay?

- model developers? they are a cost center
- model hosts? they make cents a million tokens, serving AI is commoditized, there is little profit in it
- users who generate their own ideas? how can you tax Mary's enjoyment of AI abstract art, or Jonny's passion for anime girls?

My experience with agentic flows (vibe coding) is like yours. What is really needed is (1) having the project and the plan documented (2) generating sufficient tests. They put guardrails around the agent. You also have to manage its context carefully, the less useless stuff in it the better. If regular coding is like walking, slow and steady, vibe coding is like surfing. You got to give up control, so compensate by setting up constraints.
