   And the followup: OpenAI and Google and now asking their good friends in the White House to allow them to do this shit without legal consequences in the interests of national security: https://www.theverge.com/news/630079/openai-google-copyright-fair-use-exception

   
   (China's not going to respect US copyrights so we need to be able to ignore laws as well or we'll fall behind in our race to create mediocre text generators and spambots!)

     Here's a fun back to back: The Atlantic offers a tool to let you find which of your writings have been included in Llama (and likely other AI chatbots) without your permission. My score? Both my books, intros to two other books and about 20 papers. (https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2025/03/libgen-meta-openai/682093/)

     Glad to be of help? No, really I'm not. It's one thing to have these in Libgen for students in developing nations to access. Having Meta torrent these to train their stochastic parrot is something entirely different.
