It’s neat to be involved. Though I wonder what they could possibly want, since books3 was public. That was the whole point of making it.
- CamperBob2 3y agoDid you torrent it? Maybe that's their beef.
- sillysaurusx 3y agoNa, I’m not a party to the lawsuit. Already spoke to a lawyer about it. It’s standard to put anyone on notice who might become a witness. They’ll request whatever information they think I might have that could help their case, and might call me in for a deposition. And they’ll probably lose. It’s pretty clear that the output matters, not the input. What sucks is that we can’t open source any training data anymore. So no one can make a competitor to ChatGPT. Even eleuther was cowed into silence with legal threats. They’re trying to make a non-copyrighted version of The Pile, but it’ll be hard to amass the data quality necessary. Meanwhile private companies can just vacuum up everything.
