The reason why armchair (and professional) lawyers who want to argue the Open AI vs: New York Times copyright lawsuit, should look towards the Dead Sea Scrolls…
This is written-up in a bunch[1] of places, but basically: the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered circa 1946, then excavated, and then hoarded by academics who wanted to only release them piecemeal and slowly, after consideration.
Alas for this plan: to assist researchers who wanted to run statistical analyses of which words were where on what pages, they released a concordance — an index of all of the texts…
[…] organized like a dictionary, listing every use of every word that appears in a text, identifying the places where the word is found and also giving the context in which the word is used.
Source: NYT
But what they never bet upon was that someone would take the concordance, feed it into a computer, and use the computer to reconstruct (or: “reverse-engineer”) a copy of the original text (allowing that there may be errors in the construction of the concordance or in the process of reconstruction) – the reconstruction being subsequently published and thereby effectively forcing the scroll-keepers into actual publication of the originals
Key Questions
Ignoring that the original texts were so old as to not be in copyright…
- Was the concordance a derivative work of the original texts?
- Was analysis of the concordance in order to reconstruct the original, in keeping with the intention of providing the concordance for analysis? Would this matter?
- Would building an LLM model of all the scrape-able texts on the internet — including, for instance, the Internet Archive copy of the 1991 NYT article re: this matter — be a derivative work of the NYT article, or of the entire Internet? Should we distinguish?
- If someone — for instance a lawyer representing the NYT — prompts a LLM with text that will provoke it to roughly reconstruct (allowing that there may be errors in the construction of the model or in the process of reconstruction) a NYT article, is the result a breach of copyright? Is it a mechanically derived work (the reconstruction) of (perhaps) another derived work (the model)?
These are fun things to think about. I’m not going to suggest answers, because I am not trying to win an argument one way or another, but I do believe that the future of knowledge-accessability is at stake, here.

🔥🎬 Youth resistance in the GDR and today 🎥🔥
Friday, 05.12.2025 | 6 p.m. | La Casa Wurzener Straße 6, 12627 Berlin
Arrival: U5 Louis-Lewin-Straße | Bus 195 Oschatzer Ring
📣 Call: https://asanb.noblogs.org/?p=14526 - @japmahe
Never trust parliaments, build on resistance from below!
In the hegemony of nation states, repression and oppression are a legitimate means of subduing uncomfortable voices.
The situation around the world is getting worse and becoming increasingly dangerous for forces operating outside the licensing structures.
Youth resistance is always there, we want to discuss how resistance has changed and looked like in the past.
On our last Bar this year, the 5th december, we will watch the documentary "Schleimkeim - Otze and the GDR from below" together and then introduce an open discussion. / non commercial filmscreening
Come around and share your points of view.

Anyone who knows the writings of Antonin Artaud knows he spent time with the Raramuri people of Sierra Madre;also called Tarahumara by outsiders. This video is about the Tarahumara as runners. If you are unfamiliar with Artaud, here is an online text, The Secret Art of Antonin Artaud (PDF 109 pages accessable from the link below)by Jacques Derrida and Paule Thvenin, which may help.
The first work of the Theatre of Cruelty Artaud initially intended for the stage was entitled The Conquest of Mexico, a work based on the Aztec religion and other primitive cultures of the Americas. Partly to escape his numerous failures in Paris, Artaud left for Mexico in 1936 to do research for this play and live in a land where he believed "a new idea of man [was] being born." Unfortunately, Artaud encountered a culture heavily influenced by the same European ideas he was fleeing. The playwright encountered Communist inspired political unrest and an intellectual coeterie of writers and artists, such as Diego Rivera, David Siqueiros, and JosÎ Clemente, who were adapting modern European styles to depict their own culture. Since Artaud was trying to escape these European styles and ideas, he found himself alienated from the Mexican artists and intellectuals and, unable to speak Spanish, soon felt isolated in a land that he hoped would provide some form of salvation for him. Perhaps as a consequence, he spent much of his time in Mexico City searching for drugs. He did befriend LuÏs Cardoza y Aragon, a surrealist poet Artaud had initially met in Paris. Aragon helped Artaud financially by arranging lectures and translating articles for the Frenchman.
Strangely, Artaud had no interest in the Aztec ruins nearby, which had become tourist sites by this point. Artaud yearned to witness authentic culture untouched by Western influence. Accordingly, Artaud arranged to visit the Tarahumaras, an isolated tribe in the Sierra Madre of Northern Mexico who made use of peyote in their religious rites. During this arduous journey, Artaud experienced a painful bout of drug withdrawal. Once there, however, Artaud participated in one of the peyote rituals. What else happened during this visit, we have only authorís own reports. Many of these reports were written or revised several years after original visit and were shaped to conform to Artaudís belief system at the time, so their veracity is questionable. These pieces were published posthumously as the A Voyage to the Land of the Tarahumara. In this work, Artaud describes a world full of syncretic symbols - crosses, faces in stone - a perfect blending of primitive symbolism and nature, which, for Artaud, typified the lost pre-Renaissance understanding of the world. He also described the peyote ceremony, during which he experienced the ìswirling energies of the earth below. (From Little Blue Light)
There are currently about 50,000 Tarahumara living in the Sierra Madre Occidental in northwestern Mexico. They live in small isolated clusters with most the population concentrated in the Barranca del Cobre, or the Copper Canyon. The Tarahumara indians are part of the Uto-Aztecan indian lineage and are closely related to the Apaches of the Southwestern United States. The area of Northwest Mexico that the Tarahumara lives in is very rugged and unforgiving. The Barranca del Cobre is a chain of five very deep canyons surrounded by very tall mountains that reach almost a mile and a half above sea level. Three of the five canyons are deeper than the Grand Canyon of the United States. The area is different though because it receives much more rainfall and is covered with more vegetation. The terrain is very rugged, so much as to lead to the fact that the area has never been thoroughly mapped or explored (Lutz 66). The area is one of th e coldest in Mexico and soil conditions are very poor. It is because of this that the Tarahumara are semi-nomadic and are cave dwellers for part of the year.

@weirdwriter I also find this article and it's comments to be quite interesting. I don't understand allot of this so analyzing for author bias is hard for me, but finding any good info on #accessiBe is hard, so I'll take what I can get.
But I agree, this company is a problem, and in general automated access fixers and overlays are a bad idea.

Hey digital #accessibility testers, I'm thinking about going into the field and I'd like to interview some of you before hand, both out of my own curiosity and also to fulfil the requirements of my state's vocational rehab agency.
So if you can speak decent English and don't mind doing an approx 45 minute audio only non compensated interview at the time of your choosing and with no recording or personal details unless you allow it, then please do let me know! I'd love to hear from you.

What do you guys think, are comprehensive #AccessibilityToolkit solutions that continuously scan and fix #A11Y errors like #AccessiBE, Access Alchemy, and Make-Sense, the way of the future [despite the often sub par results] simply because of the cost savings and ease of use?
https://accessibe.com
https://www.levelaccess.com/solutions/software/access-alchemy
https://mk-sense.com
Or do you think that human #accessibility testers are still going to be important to the future of #webdev in a decade.
Are the potential benefits of fast fixes and consistent monitoring promising enough for end users to be worth giving them space to grow even if they aren't great right now?
