    The Internet Archive is currently fighting in the courts to maintain free digital library access to over 500,000 books they own from their own collection, yet Meta uses a pirated dataset of nearly 200,000 books to train their proprietary AI and is just allowed to get away with that??

    Publishers will go after a charity making fair use of their content, but not the corporation outright stealing from them. What utter bollocks.

        Easy solution. “The Internet Archive” should rebrand itself to “Archiving the Internet” to confuse everyone who talks about how AI should be able to steal books.

      piracy is the correct and moral thing to do here

      if they dont give a fuck they dont have the moral highground to guilt tripping us into stopping it
