"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Alsup also said, however, that Anthropic's copying and storage of more than 7 million pirated books in a "central library" infringed the authors' copyrights and was not fair use. The judge has ordered a trial in December to determine how much Anthropic owes for the infringement.

US copyright law says that willful copyright infringement can justify statutory damages of up to $150,000 per work.

this is pretty much what we expected from the decision last week: training on books is legal; pirating books is still piracy… you can train on books you own without asking permission (and i assume books/ebooks that you don’t have to circumvent DRM as that’s illegal in a different way)
