The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

"Furious"

Somehow I don't think that word applies to companies

Hey, companies are people too, as has been proven in a court of law

Wherever you fall on the anti-AI spectrum, I thought after the past 2 decades of piracy we had come to the conclusion that you can't "steal" data, copying != Stealing

I can’t recall a time when I downloaded an album, pretended I made it, and tried to sell access to it.

This would be more like buying a van halen album, learning eddies style, writing and recording my own van halen style songs and selling those. Still an infringement?

Well, your example isn't quite right because these companies didn't buy the data originally.

I'd say it's more like when somebody samples a song without permission and uses it in their own music. If we wanna go even further, I'd say the AI companies we have today are basically making and selling synthesizers created off of samples used without permission. The AI don't learn the way we do, they simply regurgitate what they think is correct based on the probability they get from an algorithm derived from their training set.

So that’s what they did with the data from TikTok

Wow, look at the size of the tear this brings to my eye.

I want to punch his face. (Proceeds to Wim Hof breathe)

Openai has been trying to switch for-profit. They must be loving the hype. Now they have an excuse.
