Copyright class actions could financially ruin AI industry, trade groups say.
AI industry groups are urging an appeals court to block what they say is the largest copyright class action ever certified. They’ve warned that a single lawsuit raised by three authors over Anthropic’s AI training now threatens to “financially ruin” the entire AI industry if up to 7 million claimants end up joining the litigation and forcing a settlement.
Last week, Anthropic petitioned to appeal the class certification, urging the court to weigh questions that the district court judge, William Alsup, seemingly did not. Alsup allegedly failed to conduct a “rigorous analysis” of the potential class and instead based his judgment on his “50 years” of experience, Anthropic said.
Yeah, who the fuck gave all these rich assholes the right to make money on others’ work?
I’d like to know how these assholes get away with even training on GPL licensed code.
Making money on other people’s work is literally capitalism.
Capitalists take the surplus of workers, because they own the means of production.
Well, they’ve always profited from other people’s labor, and now they think that our souls belong to them too. They’ve gotten completely brazen!
It’s like they took only part of the wheat from the peasants before, and then decided to take it all by force and cunning, down to the last grain lol. :3
