I believe it was already known that anything trained on The Pile contained references to copyrighted material from scihub. It seems unlikely that folks who chose to use these sources were completely unaware of the nature of the data. Presumably, given the urgency in the last 2-3 years to be a leader in this space, a number of shortcuts were taken.

Zuck did a calculation: "Does the risk of lawsuits and bad PR outweigh the benefits of being early?". If u remove morals from the equation, nearly every CEO would have made that same decision if in that position.

  You talk about morals, but did you consider that they are releasing the model as open source, and given that OpenAI and others do the same, Zuck is really the only current option to have a reasonably comparable open source model? Also, did you consider that it might be more moral to create an AI model than to uphold copyright law, which actually many on this site deem immoral? IMHO this is a moral win on Zuck side.
