Curiosamente, en el juicio en curso contra Meta por usar material protegido por derechos de autor para entrenar sus modelos de AI, están tratando de usar "el todo es más que la suma de las partes" como defensa.

Básicamente sostienen que cada obra individualmente no hace diferencia en el modelo resultante. Dicen que cada una modifica el modelo en menos de 0.0006% y que por tanto eso no hace diferencia y que carece de valor comercial.

Están argumentando la nave de Teseo. En una corte. Creo que lo están haciendo intencionalmente, pues la respuesta a ese problema depende de la postura filosófica que uno suscriba.

Ese argumento funciona en la dirección opuesta: si yo licencio todas las obras usadas, y llego a exactamente los mismos bytes a los que llegó Meta, lo que tendría en ese momento no viola el copyright de Meta pues es un objeto distinto aún cuando es digitalmente idéntico. Aún más, como yo le estaría dando participación (en alguna forma) a los autores, ellos no solo participarían de las ganancias que yo derive del modelo sino potencialmente de los productos que se obtengan al usar el modelo (todo dependería de los términos de la licencia que acuerde con los autores).

En ese sentido el argumento de Meta se puede invertir y usar para decir que los autores de las obras usadas tienen algún tipo de derecho sobre las cosas que se creen usando el modelo que ellos generaron.

A large majority of people confuse privacy with data protection. And lately I'm noticing an uproar of ideologies that claim to be pro-freedom in one way or another, but which threaten freedom as a whole. I think there is a certain copyright mentality to them. Certain misunderstanding of ownership which makes fighting for freed...

Irish authors raise concerns over Meta's alleged AI use

A group of Irish authors has presented a petition to the Department of Trade raising their concerns over the alleged use by Meta of their publications to train its #AI model, Llama 3.

The petition has collected 1,500 signatures and was submitted to Minister of State with special responsibility for AI and digital transformation Niamh Smyth.

The authors have joined forces in a campaign organised by the Irish Writers Union - Aontas Scribhneoirí Éireann - to demand that Meta complys with Irish and European Union #copyright laws in the training of its AI model.

Gonna be blunt here… the fact AI has given large companies an incentive to want copyright/trademark/IP law reformed should probably be seen as a positive.

All those complaints about Disney and the RIAA, and Nintendo trying to take down fan projects and people losing millions to unfair court cases and legal demands… and now we may see that change.

By sheer greed and technological ‘luck’, we may see these companies tear each other to shreds.

@tml @11011110 Are you familiar with the Nefertiti bust case?

It's not clear what the photographer/archaeologist is claiming here. The BBC mentions their photos were included (verbatim?) in the eBay description. If there was no attribution that's potentially a clear #copyright violation, but it could be solved by removing the photos and has nothing to do with the production or the sale of the replica.
