Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Facebook is claiming its use of copyrighted works for training was fair use.

Yeah, teens downloading Metallica albums off Napster twenty years ago to listen in their parent’s basement was a serious crime, but Big Corp Inc. feeding books to the copyright erasing machine is somehow fair use. The gall.

Facebook is at least releasing their models to the public. I have less of a problem with them than companies like OpenAI and Google that don't even pretend to be open. And neither should be a crime, information should be free for the betterment of humanity.

Erasing? It ain't erasing anything.

Functionally erasing the author’s copyright, is the issue.

Are there court decisions on that I've missed or something? As soon as it reproduces enough to prove it's a derivative work, game over.

You can let gemini to reproduce the lyrics from "if you wanna be my lover" verbatim if you ask about it. There's not a court decision yet but anthropic is being sued for that reason (now a heavy bias forbids that)

Then I have no idea why would anyone think it's erasing copyright. Or that it needs to be regulated. The laws are there, just apply them.

You can get people to do that

Yes, and? AI is not a person, and is not even remotely comparable to a person.

I can spout off unrelated and not relevant things as well! Hippo sweat is red and looks somewhat like blood!
