We’re on the 3rd day of our advent calendar, and I think I’m posting about it earlier today than I did yesterday.
Advent Day 3: Some recipes and food-related stuff: https://www.patreon.com/posts/advent-day-3-145899541
Yes, the advent is happening on my Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/HarperKingsley) and I’m resharing it here.
Like 12 Days of Xmas, it’s free (to look at for entertainment purposes, not to be used for any kind of generative content or anything that involves scraping my content and loading it into a plagiarism machine for repurpose. The "transformative works" descriptor only applies for humans, not for machines they may use. Any bit of my content–past, present, or future–added to an LLM (or LLM-type programming code that fills the role of "AI" as currently described, including "algorithms" and all that that descriptor implies) comes with the creator copyright rules that any time the model containing my data is accessed the controller of the model or the owner of the server hosting the model will pay me $100. My content being added to their data servers is their agreement to pay me money and they will not contest in any way, and if they do they agree to pay me $1000 and another $500 per each day that they have hosted my content without my permission on their servers. If the content is loaded through users of their servers, the controller of any models using my content takes responsibility if the content becomes available through their servers to anyone other than the original uploader, as they should be ensuring they are not hosting and using copyrighted material without permission of the copyright holder. As such, anyone that uses my content to auto-generate any content for profit, clout, or view count agrees to pay me $200 every time that content generates $1000 or 10,000 views.) Enjoy!

P.S. I am not a lawyer. The intent is clear.
It is with both humor and hope that the law would be on my side if I ever went against a clanker and their machines that I claim copyright to all my works. Because AI is worth a lot of money, and I would like to receive some of it via the least harmful means possible. Especially if my content is being exploited for the enrichment of other people.
I also think it’s funny to think of that burst of legalese popping out at high speed in the middle of an introductory conversation. Like, "Welcome to our company. I’m glad to meet you on your first day. My name is… and I work in… And if you touch or move or in any way interact with my mug I have the right and obligation to take one thing from your cubicle and that thing will then belong to me. You agree to this exchange of property of your own free will and do not have any legal recourse but to let me take something from your cubicle. You accept that every time you’re in proximity to my mug you are under video surveillance and I have the right to use those surveillance videos in any way that I deem to do so. And we have… departments in our company with… employees across four floors. We’re on the east side of the second floor and the working elevator is on the west side, so make sure to come in a bit earlier so you can clock in on time. The copy machines are all on the third floor, so you should probably keep a nice pair of shoes in your cubicle for when you have to take ‘The Walk’ to the copiers."
