From the US department of not beating those allegations.

fuck the accelerationists for pumping shitheaded propaganda into the fediverse, for the victory lap they’re taking now, and for the general idea that their revolution is worth our deaths

So much this

Every TC article I've seen recently is furious jerking about how totally legal AI is and how it will finally defeat the copyright Great Satan.

Cory, who claims to be a leftist

I read one of his books and I gotta tell ya, his idea of scifi was 'what if the people negatively impacted by DRM were oppressed minorities instead of just first world complainers.'

Suppose Universal et al. gets a precedent-setting ruling and slays OpenAI. LOL, LMAO even, but then what? What’s to keep the current entertainment cartels from making deals with Microsoft or the husks of the AI companies to rev up their own (now) fully legal and licensed bullshit engines?

I think it remains to be seen if you can train a base model without something as big as common crawl. A precedent that Universal needs to give you permission could also be a precedent that everyone must give you permission for you to scrape them.

This source of popcorn/dread recently went fairly mainstream with FTX's implosion and OpenAI's near-implosion.

Getting Gebru in there would be fucking hilarious, I can't believe Wired asked her. Not loving that they're conflating her with EAs though.

If you want to annoy an AI doomer ask why they don't support Gebru.

I just can't imagine the board saying he lied to them unless they have some way to back it up. If they made that up couldn't they be on the wrong end of a wrongful termination lawsuit?
