OpenAI warns that China will take the lead in stochastic garbage generators, colloquially called "AI", if they are not allowed free reign to ingest all copyrighted data regardless of the wishes of the rights holders, which curiously is not as one-sided and self-serving as it might seem at first glance.

Copyright law prevents you from making copies of protected works. It doesn't prevent you from reading them or learning from them. It doesn't mean you can't cite them, use facts from them, remake the ideas from them.
Anyone who has reached Uni will know this. That's the whole point of books, after all.
There are particularly egregious cases such as when Meta torrented 82TB of books and then not having the manners to seed afterwards. Strictly speaking, if you paid for the books, or borrowed them from a source that did, and you don't reproduce copies, you are complying with copyright law.

What OpenAI is asking for is federal clarification of what the law is due to a flood of varying state laws and district court decisions currently all differing views on the question.
The Ars commentariat helpfully clarifies this issue by being so stridently and consistently wrong about everything. -

With AI you can now create unmaintainable legacy code in days, not years. Congratulations? I think.

Interestingly, the paragraph in this piece talking about the problem of endlessly duplicated LLM-generated code degrading into an unreadable mess is... An unreadable mess.In conversation from poa.st permalink Attachments

Surprising no-one, TSMC has found that it costs twice as much and takes twice as long to build fabs in the US compared to Taiwan.

Europe is actually faster at this than the US. Not by much, but it is.In conversation from poa.st permalink Attachments

They have to program the AI to block out white people. Left alone, AI recognizes whites and Asians as the superior peoples. In conversation from poa.st permalink Attachments
