      Because then people wouldn’t pay out the ass for small conveniences. Keeping people working as much as possible is the point.

    The complaint lays out in steps why the plaintiffs believe the datasets have illicit origins — in a Meta paper detailing LLaMA, the company points to sources for its training datasets, one of which is called ThePile, which was assembled by a company called EleutherAI. ThePile, the complaint points out, was described in an EleutherAI paper as being put together from “a copy of the contents of the Bibliotik private tracker.” Bibliotik and the other “shadow libraries” listed, says the lawsuit, are “flagrantly illegal.”

    I used to have a Bibliotik account, and if this is true about ThePile, they very likely have at least the beginnings of a successful case.

      Because the thing referred to as AI (which is definitely not AI) is simply strip mining the book to shit out “content.”

      It is not reading, understanding, or learning from the book. It is using it to sell services for its masters.

      An author should control their work. They should be able to decide for themselves whether or not they want to help big tech sell garbage to idiots.
