I wouldn't put that sort of thing in writing but I'm built different.
And yet again from Corporate America: "Rules for thee but not for me!"
Corporate America maybe. Meta is an international company and there are also a lot of international publishing companies.
I could definitely see this leading to a lawsuit in other parts of the world. This is unquestionably a violation of the Berne Convention.
Any of those books published by Nintendo, per chance?
Nintendo is going to have to send out more than just Luigi. There's a lot of plumbing to be done!
I really don't understand how LLM models aren't considered derivative works of the material they were created from under copyright law.
I would love to see Meta sued by anyone for this. They'd win, but that could theoretically could be used as precedence for individuals.
I love that they used a stock photo of someone seeing goatse for the first time as the article pic 😄
