So AA is a front for openai?
- awakeasleep 3mo agothe bounty would be a bit higher with openAI money behind it
- 650REDHAIR 3mo agoHow did you come to that conclusion?
- flexagoon 3mo agoNo, but they openly make a lot of money from selling their library to AI companies. Fast enterprise access to Anna's Archive starts at $100.000
- shevy-java 3mo agoInteresting. But AI companies drive the RAM prices, which costs me more. So someone makes me pay more here ... :(
- poly2it 3mo agoA lot? I would be kind of interested if there were any known figures. Do companies want to be implicated in AA-cooperation in any capacity?
- Cider9986 3mo agoThey likely use intermediary companies, but NVIDIA might have purchased from them directly, I don't remember the full story.
- flexagoon 3mo agoNo specific figures, but see, for example: https://annas-archive.gl/blog/ai-copyright.html https://annas-archive.gl/blog/ai-copyright.html > Virtually all major companies building LLMs contacted us to train on our data. Most (but not all!) US-based companies reconsidered once they realized the illegal nature of our work. By contrast, Chinese firms have enthusiastically embraced our collection, apparently untroubled by its legality. > We have given high-speed access to about 30 companies. Most of them are LLM companies, and some are data brokers, who will resell our collection. Most are Chinese, though we’ve also worked with companies from the US, Europe, Russia, South Korea, and Japan. DeepSeek admitted that an earlier version was trained on part of our collection, though they’re tight-lipped about their latest model (probably also trained on our data though). It's at least 30 companies, each of which paid hundreds of thousands of dollars.
