Yes, we all want to stick it to Microsoft, but that’s not what’s at stake here.
- t-3 4y agoAI research companies can't be bothered to ethically source data so everyone else should just shut up and take it? It's not like the lawsuit can stop independent researchers from using whatever data they like, but putting the fear of the judge into big AI corps is a good thing.
- im3w1l 4y agoIf this class action wins then it means we can put license restrictions on AI-training. "You may use this code to train an AI model as long as you release the weights under AIGPL, and any work substantially derived from the AI output is also released under AIGPL" If the class action loses then this will not be possible.

- quickthrower2 4y agoI think “information wants to be free” is more of an observation than legal or ethical stance. Even as an ethical stance where it might be interpreted as “DRM bad” I am not sure it also means “pirating good”.
