OpenAI now tries to hide that ChatGPT was trained on copyrighted books, including J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series (www.businessinsider.com)

OpenAI now tries to hide that ChatGPT was trained on copyrighted books, including J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series::A new research paper laid out ways in which AI developers should try and avoid showing LLMs have been trained on copyrighted material.

If you then use your brain to reproduce a product based on copyrighted work owned by Warner (without their permission) and try to sell it, then you could be in violation of the law.

the thing is: AI and your brain are very different things

OkToBeTakei ,

that’s not exactly what’s in dispute— the prodcut that LLMs produce. That would probably be ruled as a derivative work under the DMCA’s “Fair Use” clause, and, therefore, public domain.

the issue at hand is that the company accessed the copyrighted material without paying for it and is now using that training to earn more money without fair compensation.

these language models or even proper AI can’t create original creative works the way a human can. The best it can do it create a pastiche or composition that simulates originality but is really just a jumble of recycled ideas that it’s been trained on. There’s a fair argument to be made that the owners of the copyrights of those pesos works are entitled to fair compensation, especially since AI is a tool used by a company to churn out profit off the work of others.

OkToBeTakei ,

I suppose you could say I’m making a good-faith assumption. It’s possible that he is.

my point is still valid.

OkToBeTakei ,

His point is equally valid.

but it’s irrelevant.

Can an artist be compelled to show the methods of their art? Is it as right to force an artist to give up methods if another artist thinks they are using AI to derive copyrighted work?

none of this is relevant in copyright law. the only thing that matters is who published it first and who is then using that copyrighted work for profit without first having gotten permission of the owner.

Haven’t we already seen that LLMs are really poor at evaluating whether or not something was created by an LLM?

also irrelevant

Wouldn’t making strong laws on such an already opaque and difficult-to-prove issue

laws are not written with the idea of whether on they’re hard or easy to prove as a consideration. also, your claims of such things being easy/hard to prove is a matter of opinion, and I don’t agree with you chain of deduction here. OpenAI admitted that Rowlong’s works (among many others) were used for training chatGPT.

be more of a burden on smaller artists vs. large studios with lawyers-in-tow.

also irrelevant, unless you’re arguing that, because it’s too difficult for small artists to defend their copyrighted work, they should just shut up and deal with it. currently, there is no legal precedent as to whether this is or is not copyright infringement, which is what a lawsuit like this is intended to set. For most, I would say, it Eem that it clearly is, for others, it’s not so clear.

OkToBeTakei ,

I have heard this insult used in English, just not ever condensed into one single word. Bravo.

OkToBeTakei ,

Is there a direct translation for the word “fuck” in Spanish? 

OkToBeTakei ,

I’m convinced there are stronger terms by which they can go fuck themselves, and I’m determined to find them. 

OkToBeTakei ,

Jones said. "The lack of political leadership on the right to denounce these threats — which serve to inspire real-world political violence— is shameful.”

this is the worst part, the most disingenuous garbage, and what makes fighting agains this even harder.

REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP WANTS AND SUPPORTS THIS

the sooner we all acknowledge this and treat Republicans - collectively - as the FASCIST THREAT that they are, we all will lose.

    I thought lemmy was anti-censorship

    where in the world did you get this idea? each instance has a clearly-posted ToS/code of conduct in the sidebar, as do most individual communities.

    if you dislike the rules on one instance, you’re free to find another or start your own. many do.

    OkToBeTakei ,

    I don’t know this person, but I would speculate that, when OP is angry, they like to vent their frustrations at the boogeyman that their peer group has commonly villainized.

    it has been my experience that those who most commonly cry “no censorship!” are those who like to express hate-speech. they also have been taught to blame “democrats” for their woes. there’s a lot of correlation here that I would bet is causative.

    OkToBeTakei ,

    some people view censorship as an infringement of their rights, and, sometimes, they’re right.

    some people see reasonable regulation of speech/behavior (especially in communal spaces) as a personal affront and a judgement of the views the hold and positions they espouse— often because their speech/behavior is seen as offensive and unacceptable by society. it reveals not only a deep insecurity, but a acknowledgement that even these people know, deep-down, that what they’re doing is unacceptable and wrong, and that their defense of it is disingenuous because their true motives are, in fact, malicious and hateful.

    OkToBeTakei ,

    I noticed that. the fascists really hate local news holding them accountable for being shitty people, so they railroad them out of business.

    I’ve heard the devil is beating his wife but only rarely.

    I heard it, I think, once from a very old lady in Alabama who also prolifically used the n-word like she’d drop dead if she stopped. it formed a negative association for me.

    OkToBeTakei ,

    like all bullies, he’s a coward

    OkToBeTakei ,

    he’s trying to Trump his way out of this, but after Dolt 45 just caught 14 more charges of “your’e fucked” today in Georgia (for a total of NINETY-TWO* charges across 4 state and federal indictments), perhaps that’s not such a great strategy.

    *In New York, he faces 34 felony counts in connection with hush money payments to a porn star. In Florida, he faces 40 felony counts for hoarding classified documents and impeding efforts to retrieve them. In Washington, D.C., he faces four felony counts for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

    there’s one or two mobile apps that do it, but, currently, most people use the web interface.

    edit: kbin users have other options, apparently (see below)

    OkToBeTakei ,

    sorry that you totally missed the point of the video.

    And no I’m not advocating for tolerance of the intolerant

    that’s exactly what you’re advocating for when you say shit like this:

    I just don’t believe we should make a big deal about a couple of idiots comments

    because that’s not what this is at all

    OkToBeTakei , (edited )

    oh, right… racism is our fault. because we complained about it. gotcha. that’s some real DARVO bs ya got there…

    “DARVO is an acronym used to describe a common strategy of abusers. The abuser will: Deny the abuse ever took place, then Attack the victim for attempting to hold the abuser accountable; then they will lie and claim that they, the abuser, are the real victim in the situation, thus Reversing the Victim and Offender.”

    I’m not reading that, lmao

    OkToBeTakei ,

    I might have gone back to read it, but the mods took it down. maybe you should take a hint.

    No, for real. Disney makes more money from parks than they do from movies.

    yes, the parks pull in big cash for Disney, but it’s what they sell there that’s the real money-maker for Disney and always has been: merchandising.

    I have a brother who lives in Orlando and works for a contracting company as a civil engineer. He did some work for them maybe a decade ago and they are working on this one building in the Magic Kingdom, on Main Street near the entrance that had this huge shop in it. One of those gift shops that everyone stops at right before they leave that has souvenirs and merch from every franchise, of every character, of any damned Disney thing you can think of just so they can shake you down one last time before you leave the park for the day.

    So, they’re doing some hurricane repair to the building and it’s some major work. They’ve shut down the entire building to do major structural repair, and he’s one of the engineers telling the park manager team that they need to shut the store for a day or two in order to replace some critical support something or other. Well, the Disney people weren’t having that. They made it clear that the store could not be closed, not for a day, not for an hour, not for a minute because it, by far, was the best moneymaker at any of the parks, reaping just titanic amounts of cash— far more than all the parks or hotels combined, in fact. My brother and the other engineers are trying, pleading, with the Disney guys telling them that not only may it not be possible to do it any other way than going into the store to do the work, but that if they could do it another way, it could triple the work time and budget. They didn’t care.

    The Disney guys basically told the engineering team, and later the site mangers and up the chain at the contracting company, that they didn’t care how the long the project took or how much it cost or even if they had to tear down the whole structure around the store and rebuild it— they were not, under any circumstances, to disturb the smooth operation of the store one tiny bit. One single day of operation made so much money that it’s ridiculous, so the Disney people just didn’t care what had to be done to keep it open. They were like, “we’d close all three parks before we’d close that one store. Get it done.” And they did, several months and a crazy amount over budget, but Disney was happy, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    so, yeah, the parks make tons of cash, that’s true, but nothing compares to the money they make selling Disney-branded merch.

    edit: spelling

    if so, Laren is off the list. Such a drag, always going on about starving in a Bajoran refugee camp while her people were being genocided. What do I need, a drinking problem?

    and tradesmen who pull in that kind of cash are usually smart enough to spend their money wisely on a more practical work vehicle than to waste their money on a pretty one.

    rich office dude doesn’t have to worry about his little-dick-compensator getting all beat-up on the job.

    I’ve seen the beat-up Toyotas. haven’t seen any 100k trucks except, sometimes, one that’s not actually being used for work. all shiny because it belongs to the big boss who doesn’t lift a finger because he sits in an office all day. they’re all for show.
