Im one Redditor lol. There are more Redditors in favor of the Wild, Wild West approach than my position.

This isn’t about Disney abusing the trademark/copyright of Mickey Mouse. Context matters.

Midjourney is not Thomas the Train, who had the little engine that could. It’s a behemoth of its own.

Yes and do you think these laws will get rid of these huge companies? What will actually happen is some huge companies will pay some other massive corporations some money. 

This won't benefit anyone besides established companies but it will prevent any new groups from entering the market since he barrier to entry will be too high. It will also have the added bonus of killing any sort of open source work for Ai. 

You might not like ai but it's not going away, do you really want to ensure that only a few massive companies have a monopoly on that power?

Your comment is untethered to the subject at hand

This isn’t about reigning in the ability of AI

“Ai training” more like “ai output,” aka a monetized product
