Going to one end of the Earth, you come back from the other side. (@^.^@v+1) OT5 1D fan with a Niall bias and a Larry and Ziam heart. Fangirling isn't all of who I am, but it's an important part too.

Alright US mutuals, if you are interested in, morbidly fascinated by, or anxiously doomscrolling through AI news, including Stable Diffusion, Llama, ChatGPT or Dalle, you need to be aware of this.

The US Copyright Office has submitted a request for comment from the general public. Guidelines can be found on their site, but the gist of it is that they are taking citizen statements on what your views on AI are, and how the Copyright Office should address the admittedly thorny issues in rulings.

Be polite, be succinct, and be honest. They have a list of questions or suggestions, but in truth are looking to get as much data from the general public as possible. If you have links to papers or studies examining the economic impacts of AI, they want them. If you have anecdotal stories of losing commissions, they want them. If you have legal opinions, experience using these tools, or even a layman's perspective of how much human input is required for a piece of work to gain copyright, they want it.

The deadline is Oct 18th and can be submitted via the link in the article. While the regulatory apparatus of the US is largely under sway by corporate interests, this is still the actual, official time for you to directly tell the government what you think and what they should do. Comments can be submitted by individuals or on behalf of organizations. So if you are a small business, say a print shop, you can comment on behalf of the print shop as well.

“I very much enjoyed those albums that you mentioned [UAN, TMH, MITAM] and I think we all went through something really special together and there’s a lot of love there.”
“So, yeah, I think if there’s a moment for us to do it the right way, I think it’d be great.”

Now these things have happened in pretty close succession:

1. Zayn promoted his 'PAYNT BY ZAYN' Collection which the majority of the fandom immediately connected to Liam and was quite openly and loudly talked about on social media by the fandom.

2. The Logan Paul shitshow of a podcast episode was released, supposedly killing what was left of the Ziam fandom because of Liam's remarks and comments on Zayn. He was also dragged to filth for his remarks on why he thinks 1D ended up being formed, 5Sos and his solo success compared to the other boys. What did Liam do? He posted a tweet addressing the Zayn issue, out of everything he was dragged for, that was the only issue he addressed and then called it a day.

3. Zayn dropped his 'PAYNT BY ZAYN' merch...right in the middle of the shitstorm created by Liam on that podcast (great promo move, btw), again bringing attention to the thing that the ziam fandom had linked to Liam...👀

Now this...

WE HAVE NOT HEARD A NOTE OF ANY ONE DIRECTION SONG FROM THAT MAN ZAYN'S MOUTH SINCE HE ABDICATED THE THRONE (read: left 1D) BUT NOW HERE HE IS IN HIS 'PAYNT BY ZAYN' MERCH SINGING 'YOU AND I' THAT WAS WIDELY KNOWN IN THE FANDOM AS A ZIAM SONG...

So damn loud.
