@arstechnica "AI training" = stealing anything it can get its grubby hands on. Calling a LLM "AI" was the first joke.

@arstechnica Not surprisingly, the details of the story make it clear that Sony's not opposed in principle, but that they want to make sure they get what they'd consider a suitable cut of any revenues.

@arstechnica Sony doing a good thing. Did I cross through a dimensional portal into the upside down, without noticing?

@arstechnica Probably considering doing it themselves, and don’t want the competition. I have such a hard time thinking a big corporation is going to do anything for ethical reasons.

@arstechnica And if Sony wins, that means these "AI" companies have to pay all the people & companies who's data/websites they scraped - including the small fries - right?

Right?

What do you mean that's not how it works and only the companies with a lot of money can protect themselves?

I'm shocked!

@arstechnica Sounds good, but I bet it's only a matter of time before someone does it anyway without permission.
