Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

Both Anthropic and OpenAI have been accused of training their AI models on copyrighted materials uploaded to a piracy website called LibGen.

Communications show that OpenAI deleted the dataset, a move that plaintiffs argue could be construed as intentional destruction of evidence. Judge Ona Wang has already found that OpenAI improperly withheld materials, per Bloomberg.

thinking about that interview where Sam Altman was super sketchy when asked about that whistleblower who was found dead

My "don't ask me about dead whistleblowers" shirt is causing many questions already answered by the shirt.

Can't believe openai is making me side with the part suing pirates.

This is one of those court cases where the best you can hope for is that someone ignites a leaky gas line under the courthouse

If anything I hope openAI loses only so that techbros think twice about monetizing other people's creative works.

That's right -- because no (or very few) actual "authors" will get any money from settlements or damage awards, only the publishers who own the copyrights.

Wish there was a way to stop them (AI companies) from using pirated sources but that can't happen without significant DRM either.. and like, they'll just find a way anyway.

Personally I think the big push to put AI products inside of everything is just to establish a channel to harvest user data from every facet rather than provide any stated functions to the user. The artwork theft feels like just the very tip of the abusive iceberg as it were
