People who make the information fed in to the automatic plagiarism machine suing the automatic plagiarism machine company.
Wild to me how far this has gotten before some institutional actors realized that this “amazing new technology” is only financially viable if they don’t have to pay a fair price for the training data.
This is going to go the same way Napster did.

Really, I just mean ‘in the courts’.
When American business interests just decided to unite and collectively steal all of the IP on the Internet, it was always going to end up in the courts.
This is going to be a pyric victory like when they sued Google where they won, but then the traffic and views dropped through the floor.
how? open ai isn’t funneling views to news sites it ripped from
Where was all that outrage from you all when everyone was downloading and pirating copyrighted music by groups like Metallica? If you were around back then, my guess is, you were all firing up Kazaa and Napster and didn’t give a shit.

Good, sick as fuck of these chucklefucks committing mass piracy on an absolutely massive scale and then hiding behind “fair use.”
You know what they did to the Pirate Bay when they committed mass piracy but didn’t actually make much money? The music industry literally pushed for laws to change in Sweden so they could send them to jail.
It’s like in the US, as long as you commit the biggest crime, and make the biggest profit, they’ll make up any worthless fucking excuse to justify you raping the public for a quick buck.
