I disagree, it's still too early and a bit presumptuous to make such conclusive statements

Sure but I'm not sure why you are bringing this up. What's the wider point you are trying to make?

Getty is already suing the Dall-E creators, and someone is suing MS for Copilot; so it's already started

I am sorry but you don't know what you are talking about. These things are regulated by legal documents, you don't just wake up on morning and say "trust me bro, their data is public"

If you go and read their TnC's it explicitly statea that scraping is forbidden without prioir written consent. They only allow access to their data via APIs, which of course they charge for

The fact that it can be easily scraped it's neither here nor there, if they catch you they can sue you

Technically not (well, they can make it harder), but they can sue them for doing it

Oh I'm not saying they are doing the right thing or that it was the correct decision. Just speculating whether LLMs is what kicked off the whole thing

MUCH heavier accusations

You know, his takes are so extreme I often feel the account is a parody or, slightly more likely, a far right 4chan type posing as a tankie for kicks and giggle (or worse)

Good try, dessalines, but I ain't biting 😉

I’ve yet to run into any of these individuals.

...you wrote, only half an hour earlier 😉

[–] gotofritz@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

No worries 😆

Exactly because we made the mistake once, in more naive times, we don't want to make it again...

No one seems to have any problem with some of the extreme anti-human ideologies that a lot of social media ceos have.

That's patently untrue

I mean I like the lemmy-verse, but the main devs behind Lemmy are totally tankies. It's the reason why a lot of hesitant in joining

This is the main developer (one of the only developers) - if the avatar wasn't enough, have a look at the "essays" repo in his account... https://github.com/dessalines

 

One of Spez's answers in the infamous Reddit AMA struck me

Two things happened at the same time: the LLM explosion put all Reddit data use at the forefront, and our continuing efforts to reign in costs...

I am beginning to think all they wanted to do was getting their share of the AI pie, since we know Reddit's data is one of the major datasets for training conversetional models. But they are such a bunch of bumbling fools, as well as being chronically understaffed, the whole thing exploded in their face. At this stage their only chance if survival may well be to be bought out by OpenAI...
