    Exactly my point. They say they don't want steak due to legal concerns rather than just admitting they're vegans.

    This has to be the first time I've seen a graph with an inverted scale.

    Let's hope judges are reasonable because if AIs aren't allowed to learn like humans do, we'll never get AGI.

    Reminds me those Bitcoin threads where I would explain a use case it solved for me and everyone was like "nope that's impossible, there's no use case". And before the inevitable re…

    My understanding is that "one shotting" a C compiler from a single prompt would not be covered by copyright, but a large project like GCC containing thousands of individual contrib…

    Would be cool to have models trained on specific eras of design, a bit like that LLM which was exclusively trained on pre-1931 text.

    I was referring to this decision: "To summarize the analysis that now follows, the use of the books at issue to train Claude and its precursors was exceedingly transformative and w…

    Courts have already set a precedent on this (it's fair use) and even if these decisions were overturned, the liability would fall on the LLM creators for the initial training, not …

    Anthropic and co basically have the opposite policy (for paid users): if you get sued for copyright infringement, they will indemnify you. That means they're confident it's not an …

    Yes, that's what I meant. It's harder to use the copyright excuse for those use cases.

    That's just not an issue in practice. All major AI labs match generated code against their training data to prevent outputting verbatim copies. They're so confident they won't outp…

    No, it's far-fetched to believe GCC would get sued for incorporating LLM-generated code.

    At the same time, they would be somewhat forced to concede those use cases if they wanted to stick to the copyright story. Maybe you're right but I remain skeptical.
