It was overzealous prosecution of the breaking into a closet to wire up some ethernet cables to gain access to the materials Not the downloading with intent And apparently the most controversial take on this community is the observation that many people would have done the trial, plea and time, regardless of how overzealous the prosecution was

> breaking into a closet "The closet's door was kept unlocked, according to press reports" When's the last time a kid with no record, a research fellow at Harvard, got threatened with 35 years for a simple B&E?

They threaten

Its the plea or sentencing where that stuff gets taken into account for a reduction to community service

They do need help, they've yet to turn a profit.

Remember when they were a non-profit so that didn't matter? Ah..

Nonprofits still need to be sustainable, and they’re definitely not

If AI actually reaches human-level intelligence in the next few years, the Pentagon and congress are going to start yelling about National Security and grabbing control over the whole industry, so I doubt state regulations are going to matter much anyway.

(And if it doesn't reach human-level intelligence, then OpenAI's value will pop like a balloon.)

> Chinese AI must implement socialist values by law I don't doubt it but am interested to read a source? I know the models can't talk about things like Tiananmen Square 1989, but what does 'implementing socialist values by law' look like?

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/18/chinese-regulators-begin-tes... "Socialist values" is literally the language that China used in announcing this. Here is a recent article from a Chinese source: https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202503/1329537.shtml Although censorship isn't mentioned specifically, it is definitely 99% of what they are focused on (the other 1% being scams). China practices Rule by law, not Rule of law, s…

In practice the US is less different than you imply. For the vast majority of Americans, being sued is a punishment in and of itself due to the prohibitive costs of hiring a lawyer. In the US we have a right to a “speedy” trial but there are many people sitting in jail now because they can’t afford the bail get out. Speedy could mean months.

I say this because when we constantly fall so far short of our ideals, one begins to question if those are really our ideals.

Can I download a book without paying for it, and print copies of it? Stash copies in my bathroom, the gym, my office, my bedroom etc. to basically have a copy on hand to study from whenever I have some free time? What about movies and music?

> Can I download a book without paying for it, and print copies of it? No, but you can read a book, learn its contents, and then write and publish your own book to teach the information to others. The operation of an AI is rather closer to that than it is to copyright violation. "Should" there be protections against AI training? Maybe! But copyright law as it stands is woefully inadequate to the task, and IMHO a lot…

>> In the proposal, OpenAI also said the U.S. needs “a copyright strategy that promotes the freedom to learn” and on “preserving American AI models’ ability to learn from copyrighted material.” Perhaps also symmetric "freedom to learn" from OpenAI models, with some provisions / naming convention? U.S. labs are limited in this way, while labs in China are not.

The pod was good apart from starting/spreading the rumor that high numbers of “bill to Singapore” was evidence that China was circumventing GPU import bans.
