@Azuaron @JeffGrigg @jamie @fsinn @pluralistic It’s wide open how existing law will be interpreted and applied here, and which new laws will be created to capture the novelty of the technology. The Anthropic case is interesting. A large number of court cases will proceed and the differences between a private book purchase and an all-purpose multi-billion content production technology will hopefully be apparent to judges.

@Azuaron @JeffGrigg @jamie @fsinn @pluralistic So if somebody invents a gun that simultaneously produces soap bubbles, shooting someone is ok? I doubt it.
You’re trying to normalise LLMs with analogies of profane private behaviour. That’s fundamentally flawed.
LLMs have new characteristics, capabilities. There hasn’t been a machine before that could churn out one million versions of a novel in the style of a contemporary author or art by living creators in no time after being fed their work.

@Azuaron @JeffGrigg @jamie @fsinn @pluralistic For a start, you bought the book. I doubt AI hyperscalers have met that minimum requirement. Secondly, you buy the book for your private use, not for commercial purposes. Thirdly, you describe reproduction for private purposes. Reproduce and sell, and you infringe. Fourth, you don’t use the book to instruct a machine to paraphrase the content, produce quotes and false quotes, and to write in the style of the author in an infinite number of cases.

@fsinn @jamie Thanks! Obtaining copyright for LLM-generated text is one thing, but I've read an assessment from a German state ministry yesterday that according to national laws copyright infringement by LLMs are passed on to users and text they generate in Germany, in their interpretation. If that holds, consequences might be rather big.

@max @fsinn @jamie That's not true. Media organisations and individual journalist make a share of their income from granting licenses for secondary use of their digital works, for copying them or for offering them in libraries. Copyright is one of the few bedrocks of income. It doesn‘t vanish through wishful thinking or ignoring it.

@jamie @Azuaron @fsinn It's like saying sausages are vegan as long as they do not contain visible body parts.

@kakape As always, you did a fantastic job explaining a very complex topic. Thanks! Do I understand correctly that this might happen with any adenovirus vaccine? And is there a way to stop it from happening?

20 Jahre lang: Wir können beim #Klimaschutz auf konkrete Einschränkungen verzichten, weil der #Emissionshandel alles supidupi technologieoffen und marktwirtschaftlich löst.
Jetzt: Huch, der Emissionshandel funktioniert, wir müssen den ganz schnell drastisch abmildern.

Als nationales und europäisches Naturerbe gefeiert – und jetzt in Gefahr: Hessen will Schutz für „Grünes Band“ lockern.
Inzwischen wird wirklich flächendeckend daran gearbeitet, den #Naturschutz zurückzufahren – das ist auch ein Bruch der deutschen Verpflichtungen aus dem Montreal-Abkommen.

@EUCommission How will linking the price to solar&wind instead of gas work in practice?

@badische_zeitung Super, dass Ihr hier seid, Kollegas!

Ich kriege jetzt die ersten komplett mit LMM geschriebenen Antworten auf Presseanfragen von Firmen und Behörden, und möchte Pressesprecher*innen nur darauf hinweisen, dass das echt nicht gut ankommt. Also richtig übel. Quasi katastrophal.
