No One Sells Forever, eh? But seriously, the way the copyright system prevents people from preserving and re-experiencing works as soon as the "rightful owner" stops caring about them is a travesty. I say that when an IP becomes o

Some iteration of that (albeit, probably a lot more mundane and boring than what I described just above) sounds like what we're inevitably going to be living through.

It's probably based on most of the content about Game of Thrones that was within the dataset. Regardless, this isn't what the case is about. The authors argue that the summary text itself is infringing, regardless of all other cir

The author already fully addressed this in the article. They just think that even the fact that this was allowed to move forward is a worrying sign: > Judge Stein’s order doesn’t resolve the authors’ claims, not by a long shot. And he wa

They're very separate in terms of what seems to have happened in this case. This lawsuit isn't about memory or LLMs being archival/compression software (imho, a very far reach) or anything like that. The plaintiffs took a bit

I'm confused. There's an entire paragraph in the article where the author compares the two summaries and finds that they differ only in their structuring. I can't find any part of the article saying that the LLM summary was w

I wonder if there's an "ignorance is bliss" effect here that makes trying it not worth it for the average person. Think about it - to my knowledge, almost everyone spends ~0 seconds per day thinking about the comfort of their

Where the "panic" part starts to set in is that the people who are educated in the discipline aren't going anywhere. Suppose the trend does eventually reverse. In 5 years you will still be competing with the people who gradua
