Mio racconto brevissimo scritto per Minuti Contati, link originale.
Pecunia non olet
Adam entrò in ufficio, appese il soprabito e si accostò al mobile bar per un drink.
«Non dovresti bere nelle tue condizioni» disse una voce calda alle sue spalle.
Si voltò di scatto: c’era una ragazza bionda in un elegante tubino bianco sul divano. Sorrideva.
«Come sei entrata? Chi sei?»
«È inutile agitarsi, vado dove voglio e di nomi ne ho tanti. Sono qui per un affare.»
Lui tirò fuori il cellulare e chiamò la sicurezza, il telefono rimase muto.
«Dovresti ascoltarmi» commentò la donna.
Adam fece per andare verso la porta ma si bloccò, non c’era nessuna porta. Lei si alzò, aveva un corpo da mozzare il fiato.
«Chi diavolo sei?» chiese confuso.
Lei rise divertita: «L’hai detto. Mettiti comodo e ascolta la mia proposta.» Lo spinse sulla vicina poltrona.
«Tu sei ricco Adam, uno dei più ricchi del mondo, eppure non ti servirà, tra poco morrai e perderai ogni cosa.»
«Lo so questo, è il nostro destino.»
«Non proprio. Dovrai morire, lo ammetto, ma in quanto al denaro, ti offro la possibilità di portarne parte con te nell’aldilà.»
Adam rise forte: «Vorrai dire all’inferno!»
«Ah, l’inferno, sei così sicuro di meritarlo?»
«Ci puoi giurare» rispose ridendo «quello mi tocca di sicuro.»
La donna sorrise: «Inferno, paradiso, sono solo parole, il luogo dove finirai non è troppo diverso da questo: meglio essere ricchi che altrimenti.» Sollevò la gonna e si sedette sulla scrivania. «La mia offerta è questa: lascerai la somma che vorrai a una fondazione che io ti indicherò, in questo mondo, e noi te ne faremo avere un decimo nell’aldilà.»
«E tu credi che io abbocchi a un’imbroglio del genere? Proprio io?»
Lei gli mise in mano un biglietto. «I dati per la donazione, pensaci, non tutti hanno questa possibilità.» Lui abbassò lo sguardo per leggerlo, quando lo rialzò la donna non c’era più.
«Cavolo…» mormorò, ma andò a riporlo nel soprabito. Quando si voltò in mezzo alla stanza c’era un’altra donna, bruna, sui quaranta, con un tailleur scuro molto elegante e sobrio.
«Non ti fidare di quella, ti frega» disse la nuova arrivata.
Adam si guardò intorno, forse era il cancro a causargli quelle allucinazioni. Gli restava poco.
«Certo che non mi fido, non si portano soldi all’inferno.»
«Bravo!» esclamò lei soddisfatta. «Devi farle con la gente giusta queste cose. Se ti affidi a noi, non solo garantiamo un trasferimento di denaro doppio, ma assicuriamo anche il passaggio in paradiso.»
«Cosa?»
«Ma certo! Perché con la donazione giusta, con un gesto di generosità vera, noi possiamo assicurarti il perdono.»
«Il perdono?»
«Assicurato!»
Adam sentiva la testa pulsare, non stava affatto bene.
«Questo non è corretto» il grido veniva dalle sue spalle, si girò, era di nuovo la bionda. Furiosa.
«Gli affari sono affari» ribatté la bruna.
Le due si presero per i capelli.
Adam quasi sorrise vedendole avvinghiate, non era più sicuro di quale delle due fosse il demone e quale l’angelo.
Non ha importanza, in ogni caso è troppo tardi – pensò, con un filo di rimpianto, mentre spirava.

2. This article might as well have been written by Anthropic's lawyers. It is biased toward #AI corporations to an extreme.

in reply to Ars Technica • • •While the cited advocacy groups’ concerns are valid—that this isn’t really a proper settlement for the actual owners of stolen works—Anthropic’s anemic response is predictable. There is no attempt at justifying the act of thievery; rather, all their words boil down to is, “You should just let this slide because AI is too important* for the tech industry’s future.”
*Citation fucking needed.

in reply to Ars Technica • • •Maybe work on quantum which would help with computing large problems faster than before, instead of using the same computing power and burning the earth to have the results in , however long it takes. Ai (machine learning slop) can’t be used in this “free for all” (and the devil to pay later) scenario. It’s just wrong.

in reply to Ars Technica • • •Please don't let the authors settle. A settlement would let the defendant keep operating and just pay some large-but-survivable penalty.
Don't stop until you've ruined them and destroyed every cent of assets they have and have a court order demanding that the models be destroyed as infringing articles with no lawful function.

Yes. Yes, it is.

in reply to Ars Technica • • •No genuine author (ie. someone who puts words together in an order of their personal choosing) benefits from AI. Simple as. AI platforms are the biggest heist in human history and need to be recognised in the courts as such.
I suspect world’s most successful authors (musicians and artists too) have zero interest in settling with AI companies. Financially ruin one and another will pop up. They basically will fight to ensure copyright law is upheld and enforced.
