Damn, we really are rehashing all the bullshit from the 20th century.

And perhaps most recently, when a person who publishes their work under a free license discovers that work has been used by tech mega-giants to train extractive, exploitative large language models? Wait, no, not like that.

... permissively-licensed media is about the only thing that's not extractive or exploitative to train on. It's the least questionable source of data. Its authors should be annoyed there's training on anything else.

Models could use the public domain if we fucking had one.

[Creative Commons says] AI training should be considered non-infringing by default from a copyright perspective.

Pretty much, yeah. It's transformative. You can't take one word from every book ever written and say publishers are owed ten zillion dollars. Similarly, you can't distill the whole internet into a gigabyte of numbers and call that mere piracy. If the model contains more than a snippet of any particular work - you've built it wrong. Copying even one article is more infringement than training on a whole archive.

Irresponsible AI companies are already imposing huge loads on Wikimedia infrastructure

Wait, how? Aren't there torrents of the whole corpus? Do these idiots re-download everything, every time?

On several fronts: No. What?

I dunno, you seen things lately?

It's almost a punchline. 'Fuck sexism, harassment, repression, and those god damn smug-ass physicists!'

Oh sure, let's just retrain a zillion-parameter model on 99.999% of its original corpus. I'm sure that's easier than making up a game.

Does any one of these AI outputs look like a specific GitHub project? Because we already have the technology to just copy-paste a whole thing. It's called git. This is doing something different.

No thank you to the physicist who declared to a room full of other physicists that biologists "don't know how to design an experiment."

That's just what physics does to your brain. They're all like that.

Ironically - still successfully highlighting how smart people can be assholes.

Okay, so what's an "astronaut riding a horse" example? What would demonstrate how the model actually works, without people scoffing like it can only copy-paste whole things that already exist?

92 is half of 99.

Honorable mention to the improvised percussion.
