Nick Clegg, former Meta executive and UK Deputy Prime Minister, has reiterated a familiar line when it comes to AI and artist consent.
He said that any push for consent would “basically kill” the AI industry.
Clegg added that the sheer volume of data that AI is trained on makes it “implausible” to ask for consent.

Pure entitlement mindset.
If your business is not able to stay afloat while providing fair compensation to those whose labor is used, whether employee, co-owner, or third-party, you are not entitled to keep running it. Society doesn't have a duty to prop up wealthy thieves.
