soyagi , to technology in Reddit beats lawsuit by WallStreetBets founder

For those interested, the case is Rogozinski v Reddit Inc, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, No. 23-00686.

Dismissed =/= reddit won anything

Buffalox ,

Yes it does, when the court dismisses a case, it’s equivalent to the case failing in that court. Reddit won by default.

It’s actually the clearest victory you can get, as the court deems there are absolutely no grounds for the case against reddit.

danhasnolife , to world in Kia to invest $200 million in Georgia plant, build EV9 SUV in 2024

Does this help qualify them for some of the Inflation Reduction Act credits, or is that tied specifically to where the battery materials are sourced from?

Riveting8754 ,

Its about final assembly location. This will allow the EV9 to be eligible for it.

danhasnolife ,

Smart on KIA, then.

db2 , to technology in Reddit beats lawsuit by WallStreetBets founder

What an awful article that is.

But yeah, dude had no standing on which to bring suit. That doesn’t mean reddit won anything, it means the guy behind WSB is a douche which everyone already knew.

dan80 , to worldnews in EU looks to take lead in metaverse world, avoid Big Tech dominance

Lost opportunity to invest in the Fediverse instead. Open a mastodon account for all European institutions, maybe ask the Countries to do the same for their entities. Mastodon was created in Europe, by the way. Also it’s open source, and this is a huge benefit over Meta/Twitter.

The only thing boringdystopia about it is that someone actually wrote that article. LLMs will say anything and everything. They do not really have plans for anything.

bezerker03 , to world in Sarah Silverman sues Meta, OpenAI for copyright infringement

I mean if I watch something and profit off it or even make my own business that’s not anything you can sue for.

Dunno why these folks think they can sue a model trainer.

She claims it regurgitated passages from her book word-for-word. If she has proof of this, it sounds like infringement to me.

Wicker ,

Because it’s their work being used algorithmically to support someone else’s.

Regardless of how you feel about AI, the training models have to exclude copyrighted works to not have this happen, because otherwise it is absolutely true that that AI keeps record of everything fed into it, and if you dont have the rights to what was fed into it, then there’s a copyright issue. Because even if it’s being reworked and influenced by other works, it is still using other people’s stuff to do it. It is, in many ways, an overgrown randomization & automation tool.

The problem is that people dont see AI’s as a tool that companies are using, they see it almost like a person learning. It’s not like a person learning, and cant be treated the same as say, a consumer reading the book referenced (in this example) for enjoyment.

kurrybrox ,

If I went to an acting class to be trained to act like robert de niro and they used multiple facets of his work over the years to train me, is it infringement? If I go to an art class to learn how to paint like Picasso, and they use his work as reference, is that infringement? In these examples I'm the AI and the class is essentially the trainer. I get that the company is setting up the AI to be a product, but in these examples, I too would be setting myself to be a product if I use my new skills to profit.

All of the litigation isn't necessarily wrong, so far, but AI is happening much too quickly for it to matter. And what's more human, the thing the companies creating new AI are going for, than learning from our arts, languages, culture, etc.?

MartianSands ,

it is absolutely true that that AI keeps record of everything fed into it

No it isn’t.

A properly trained deep learning system will ultimately far smaller than all of the data it’s been trained on. It’s simply impossible for it to have retained a record of very much of it at all.

When everything is working correctly it shouldn’t have any of the actual text stored at all. Certainly every single piece of training data will have left some impression on the model, but that’s a very long way from actually storing the training data. The model consists of statistical relationships, not a copy-paste of the inputs.

Strictly speaking there is something resembling text in the model, but it’s made up of the smallest possible units of language (unless there’s been overfitting, in which case the training has gone wrong and there probably would be a case to answer).

The model builds sentances from a list of “phrases” which don’t even need to line up with word boundaries. Things like “is a” might be treated as a “word”, as might “ing”, if the model finds that to be a useful snippet.

Sigh… the US has created a monster.

But ok, no one cares about cyber-intel attacks unless it’s Russia or China (or anyone the US deems to be an enemy)

Chevron, the US, and Iran.

Hard to care about any side in this story.

Yeah, my bet is they are going to use Wagner to call a state of emergency around the border and delay the elections

zabil , to technology in Suspended Twitter account tracking Elon Musk's jet moves to Threads

If there is anything that’s good about threads; it’s what it’s doing to Musk and Twitter.

Having said that it’s not a place I’m ever planning on venturing into.

Weezard ,

Agreed, Threads doesn’t even need to be federated either really, it’s just an excuse, I like that they are sticking it to Musk, that nob head needs his comeuppance.

Steeve ,

An excuse for what? This is very ominously vague lol

Weezard ,

Haha, yeah I guess when I read it back it does sound like that m, what I meant was the Zuck wants threads federated to scrape data, get more information on people etc, which is just plain shitty, I’m a recent Fediverse joiner, and seeing it being targeted already to me does not being happy feelings :)

I grew up near a town in California that did that too. We were sponsored by Maytag and everything. Haven’t heard of it happening in almost a decade.

Raphael , to worldnews in Ukrainian refugees: how will the economy recover with a diminished population?
@Raphael@lemmy.world avatar

The US will pay for Ukraine’s existence as long as they agree to letting the US build more military bases as they encroach into Russian territory. Ukraine’s far-right government will happily accept even knowing it’ll lead to another war, he’s done it once, he’ll do it twice.
