    It’s wild to see people in the piracy community of all places have an issue with someone benefiting from data they got online for free.

      Many of us are sharing without reward and have strong ethical beliefs regarding for-profit distribution of material versus non-profit sharing.

      It really isn’t that bonkers. A lot software thought is about licensing. See GPL and Creative Commons and all that stuff thats all about how things can be profited from/responsibilities around it. Benefiting from free data is one thing. Privately profiting at the expense or not sharing the capability/advances that came from it is another. Willing to bet there’s GPL violations via the training sets.

      Is it even possible to attach licenses to text posts on social media?

      The difference is that they are profitting from other people’s work and properties, I don’t profit from watching a movie or playing a game for free, I just save some money.

        You do if you make games or movies and those things give you inspiration.

        This is just how learning is done though, whether it’s AI or human.

          Absolutely not comparable. Inspiration and an amalgation of everything a LLM consumes are completely different things.

            I’d argue that what we do is an amalgamation of what we are exposed to, to a great extent. And we are exposed to way less information than a LLM.
