reposting this just to see @questauthority.bsky.social's face

every lawyer : uhhh "With respect to content that is already on the open web, the social contract of that content since the 90s has been that it is fair use. Anyone can copy it, recreate with it, reproduce with it. That has been freeware, if you like. That's been the understanding," said Suleyman.

Ever put content on the web? Microsoft says that it's okay for them to steal it because it's 'freeware.'www.windowscentral.com Microsoft's CEO of AI said that content on the open web can be copied and used to create new content.

Yeah, I'm still waiting to see whether the major advocates for open-source licensing - like @creativecommons.bsky.social - are going to step up and say something on this one.

My first thought was “Creative Commons would like a word”

Wait so Windows and Word are freeware now?

This is the shit that has me cussing up a STORM at work. You do not own everything you see on the internet ya dirtcrusted turkey drumsticks!!

Boy am I hoping they take this stance with bootleg software keys.

I give up. Irony isn't just dead, we could now replace the word with the name Ozymandias and put it in a Shelley poem.

Die a hero or live long enough to see Fair Use become a villain

gpl 2 license text file slowly blooming through an "ai" training dataset until the whole thing is free

It's that viral GPL contamination that big companies used to FUD over!

Yeah, that's not how copyright law works at all. This is going to (continue to) be fun.

I look forward to seeing MPA & ASCAP litigation on this topic.

I was gonna say, can't help but wonder if the MPAA and RIAA might have some opinions about this 😅

It's gonna be an epic pile on.

The problem with screaming generative ai is worth trillions to manipulate your stock price is that everyone in the training set is gonna be looking for a cut. Of course it isn't really worth that but the litigation will be based on risk not actuals.

Are they fucking serious?!
