Everyone here seems to be missing the point and haven't read the article. Nvidia isn't being targeted because they make the hardware that enables training ai. They are being sued because they trained an ai using the authors books.
There's no difference. There's also no infringement. Show me the copy.
There's is a huge difference though.
That being one is making hardware and the other is copying books into your training pipeline though
The copy occurs in the dataset preparation.
My analogy was going to be: suing the company that makes the glass for photocopiers.
They may as well sue bic for all of those copyright infringement enabling pens the company made
Except the pens weren’t covered in snippets of copyrighted text.
Why do you hate AI? It's a useful tool to allow humans to work less? Or have you bought into the capitalist lie that we must work 9-5 5 days a week for an employer to have purpose?
I hate it because it's 80% hype garbage and 10% suck. The remaining 10% varies between "instant code check" and "might be cool someday", so it's in the "we'll see" column. Not worth the garbage though.
You've set up a false dichotomy. There are reasons to dislike AI besides capitalist propaganda. For example, moral concerns with training on data without explicit approval
