Comment on Judge dismisses authors' copyright lawsuit against Meta over AI training
josefo@leminal.space 3 weeks agoWhat name do you have for the activity of making money using someone else work or data, without their consent or giving compensation? If the tech was just tech, it wouldn’t need any non consenting human input for it to work properly. This are just companies feeding on various types of data, if justice doesn’t protects an author, what do you think it would happen if these same models started feeding of user data instead? Tech is good, ethics are not

How do you think you’re making money with your work? Did your knowledge appear from a vacuum? Ethically speaking nothing is “original creation of your own merit only” - everything we make is transformative by nature.
Either way, the talks are moot as we’ll never agree on what is transformative enough to be harmful to our society unless its a direct 1:1 copy with direct goal to displace the original. But thats clearly not the case with LLMs.
