  2. @noybeu Is #EU's world-renowned #GDPR #privacy standard #sacrificed to Trumpian #Big #Tech? Will #SME's still have to bear all the #administrative burdens, while large #AI companies can steal and resell #copyrighted #personal data without providing #Data #Subject #Access #Rights (#dsar)?

  4. @Techmeme
    if the AL #bigCorp can #watermark images created from free account then they should have no problem just watermarking all images created with #copyrighted material.

    Will any court get on this?

  5. #OpenAI declares #AI race “over” if #training on #copyrighted works isn’t fair use

    OpenAI is hoping that Donald Trump's AI Action Plan, due out this July, will settle #copyright debates by declaring #AItraining fair use—paving the way for AI companies' unfettered access to training data that OpenAI claims is critical to defeat #China in the AI race.

  7. → Former OpenAI Researcher Says the Company Broke Copyright Law

    “Suchir Balaji spent nearly four years as an artificial intelligence researcher at OpenAI. [A]fter the release of ChatGPT in late 2022, he thought harder about what the company was doing. He came to the conclusion that OpenAI’s use of copyrighted data violated the law and that technologies like ChatGPT were damaging the internet.”

  8. Am I an #accelerationist when I hope that #LLM|s being trained on #copyrighted content will lead to a new copyright system that is fairer for creators and consumers?
    I’m pretty sure I am naive.

  9. A good set of points from @gruber. I totally agree that the public web is a reasonable place for #AI #LLM models to “learn” from. “Learning” whether from a human or a computer has always been within the realm of proper use of #copyrighted material. The one key thing is that AI needs to be safeguarded so it doesn’t rip off the material it learns from. But, humans are also apt to plagiarize, as I and anyone else who has ever taught students in a classroom can surely attest to, so this is not a new issue. daringfireball.net/2024/06/tra

  10. Does anyone have thoughts on #Archivedotorg / #WaybackMachine archiving your #WordPress etc #domain containing original content that you authored? Is this a #copyright #law violation in the same vein as Archive[dot]org posting a #copyrighted song or movie?

    Thx! I'm interested in light of discussions about content being sold to #AI companies sans author permission. Also curious: has anyone had success getting Wayback to remove or exclude #writing from its site with or without a copyright claim?

  11. #AI companies would be required to disclose #copyrighted training data under new bill - The Verge

    The AI Foundation Model Transparency Act aims to make it clear if AI models used #copyright data for training.

    #European countries' laws can be very different from #English common-law countries' (and E.U. #law even stranger), so I make no claim about those.

    But you are #mistaken about #Canadian (and I believe all other English common-law countries) law - #facts #absolutely cannot be #copyrighted. You cannot stop someone #writing a #story based on facts you reveal in your story.

    See ised-isde.canada.ca/site/canad , question (2), in addition to other places.

    #CommonLaw

  15. @whvholst @reneestephen @tod

    That is already the #law; #facts cannot be #copyrighted. Ideas cannot be copyrighted. Only a particular #expression of an #idea can be copyrighted.

    If #newspaper A prints a scoop, newspaper B or website C is already free to write their own #article using facts from it. They can't just #copy the #article and change a few words, but they absolutely can use every fact from the original, and even #quote it with #attribution.

  16. An international law enforcement operation between Poland and the US has seized the LOLEK bulletproof service for hosting malware, arresting five individuals and seizing servers for facilitating malicious activities, including #DDoS attacks and #malware distribution.

    A bulletproof hosting provider is a hosting company that turns a blind eye to reports of criminal activity or the hosting of #copyrighted #material on their servers.

    Cybercriminals prefer these types of hosting providers over traditional companies, as they can launch cybercrime campaigns without fear that they will be shut down after malicious activity is reported.

  17. Generative AI’s copyright problem grows as lawsuits pile onto OpenAI, Google, Meta - the #AI giants are training their LLMs on our data, sometimes #copyrighted material. I’ve long maintained it is time for the tech giants to PAY US for access to our data. #legal #ArtificialIntelligence #copyright fortune.com/2023/07/12/generat

  18. Heads up: DO NOT install or use #Timu. That shit sends all your datas to servers in mainland China. Want proof? Quick Google search will show you. Plus, their vendors are #stealing #copyrighted material and infringing #trademarks from legitimate #Amazon SMB sellers.

    🥥 Methinks it's time for some class-action lawsuits against Alphabet (Google) for unauthorized use of #copyrighted material in their #AI #LLM training.
    #LegalEagles, what say ye? 🥥

  20. #Japan will allow #AI tools to train on any #copyrighted material “regardless of whether it is for non-profit or commercial purposes, whether it is an act other than reproduction, or whether it is content obtained from illegal sites or otherwise."

    PS: For better or worse, this is a bold, unnuanced move that pushes other jurisdictions to justify any nuance they wish to recognize.
