I remember pleas and slogans of "data wants to be free!" and a generalized public attitude of down with all copyrights and patents. Remember Napster? I find it hard to not think the attitude now is merely the public echoing what "big journalism" is telling them to parrot. I'm so disillusioned.
- atrus 2y agoMost of the issues that people have with it are a lack of attribution and using this freely scraped data to turn a profit.
- zaptrem 2y agoI'm sure none of these people use freely available internet data as part of their jobs (i.e., for a profit), right? More specific to this situation, is there really much profit in geology chatbots?
- thatguy0900 2y agoWell the Ai companies certainly believe data wants to be free. To them, at least. Probably not to anyone else
- mrbombastic 2y agoI’m mostly with you, I am still of that camp and I hope if we have some amazing AI tooling coming that makes humanity more efficient that we don’t get stopped by copyright of all things. That said I am irked when the scraping doesn’t respect copyright but then effort is made to protect the IP of the resulting models.
