I don't blame him. What would you do? If I had a near perfect data
training set of all the most useful books and a hungry AI to train, it
would be the logical step.
The reason this is news is because of the stinking hypocrisy of it
all. It's really the same topic as the Swartz-Altman discussion here
[0], in that these giant companies want to have it both ways.
Where is Zuckerberg's shout-out for Alexandra Elbakyan? [1] Or for
Brewster Kahle? Or any of the wast army of people who preserve and
curate the vital culture of humanity by protecting it from
intellectual property dungeons?
The colossal hypocrisy is that a company like Meta wishes to live
under the protective umbrella of "Intellectual Property". It wants to
stop me just stealing it's stuff and setting up a better Facebook
Were it exposed to the same rules it wishes to live by, it would be
torn apart by vibrant and deserving competition within days.
All the Zuckerberg, Meta or OpenAI are doing is setting the ground for
the abolition of intellectual property. They are literally the
proverbial people who will buy the rope with which to hang themselves.
(Edit. that doesn't make sense insert <proverb about buying ropes
that actually makes sense>)
Indeed. But when do those intersect or diverge?
