I truly love and embrace the work of #OpenAI. Their respect for #copyrights and the work of #artists has allowed companies all around the world to become #business partners across global #economies.
I also admire #Elon #Musk and his magnificent mind, #creativity, and #gaming skills. He's truly the most humble, funny, and kind person I have ever seen on #Twitter.

"It may be the first time a jury has decided that #cheating software violates a #game company’s #copyrights.
The win may only mean pocket change for #Bungie, and it won’t likely put an end to #onlinecheating, but it does put a jury on record about the legality of creating such cheats."
Well, here's a twist: American Airlines filed--and won by default--a #ScheduleA case against defendants who allegedly "carried out a scheme to defraud jobseekers in which they sent out emails holding themselves out as Recruitment Directors for American," using AA marks and "unauthorized copies of American's copyrighted images."

28. Update. I've argued here that #AI-generated #summaries needn't infringe the #copyrights in the originals, even if some still do infringe.
AI companies are growing in confidence that they can now avoid that kind of infringement & even indemnify users sued for it.

"IBM, Microsoft, Amazon, Getty Images, Shutterstock & Adobe are among those who’ve explicitly said they’ll indemnify generative AI customers over IP rights claims. Today, OpenAI joins that group."

IMHO #Copyrights and #Patents should be voided and nullified the moment their holders refuse to license them out and/or support it under FRAND (Fair, ReasomablebAnd Non-Discriminatory) Terms that should be publicized by law for transparency as well as scrutiny.
John Grisham, Jodi Picoult and George R.R. Martin are among 17 authors suing OpenAI for “systematic theft on a mass scale,” the latest in a wave of legal action by writers concerned that AI programs are using their copyrighted works without permission.

@ben Justified! OpenAI must not be allowed to work as a criminal tool to steal, what is not Open Intellectual Property but proprietary product protected by copyrights & property rights.
"If #OpenAI is found to have violated any #copyrights in this process, #FederalLaw allows for the infringing articles to be destroyed at the end of the case.
In other words, if a federal judge finds that OpenAI illegally copied The Times' articles to train its #AI model, the court could order the company to destroy #ChatGPT's dataset. " #AILaw #GenerativeAI

To believe that #AI will merely be a harmless and purely benevolent tool for everyone is naive, imo-- especially for those in #writing and #publishing.
The #automobile revolutionized the world. In the process, it also put a lot of blacksmiths out of work, and sent a lot of horses to glue factories & slaughterhouses.
I see my #editorial career as being like a blacksmith in the age of #AI. It won't be a common job in the future, & the few who do it will have a very different job description & use very different tools than I ever have. Software like #Grammarly & #ChatGPT can already do much of the work I used to do-- not as well as a human right now, but it won't be long until they can reliably replace #editors.
But once again, we'll be handing our #art over to corporations-- the same oligarchs who plowed over our #copyrights to train their AI will control the software that they'll make us reliant on.

Das ganze gewürzt mit arg wenig Marktwirtschaft und arg viel Dirigisme?
Ich mag unsere westlichen Nachbarn aber von einem relevanten Player im Digitalbereich ist man - genauso wie Deutschland - kilometerweit entfernt.
