How do you feel about models training on your content?

I don't care.

Yeah, I figured.

Yeah.

Because it's like a cat out of the bag.

We don't care about our music either.

I ask, is there so much controversy around music and art?

I'd compare this phase in AI models training off of copyrighted data is the Napster moment, where the record labels couldn't figure out a way to sell music in the digital age.

If they had been forward thinking and accepted that they would have created Spotify, we wouldn't be paying an extra 30% to a DSP.

But they didn't.

And it had this whole moment where it's like, you can't really stop this from happening.

So just embrace it and figure out how to harness it when it comes out the other side.

One person will get sued.

These models are going to train on this and they are going to be able to do these things that everyone's feared about them doing.

But then we're going to be able to make better art or different art.

Is there anything you do fear?

Loaded question that I want to answer correctly.

My first instinct is to say no.

Because I feel, specifically us, we're DJs.

15 years ago, the DJ producer, and still to this day, you've seen the memes about they're just pressing play or all of their music is software.
