BREAKING: In a shocking revelation, it turns out Zuck didn't read the fine print again 🤦♂️. Publishers are suing Meta because their AI apparently learned to read without paying for its library card 📚💸. Maybe next time, they’ll install “common sense” in the next update. 🙃

Publishers and author Scott Turow sue Meta over Llama AI
Five publishing houses and author Scott Turow are suing Meta and CEO Mark Zuckerberg for copyright infringement. They claim Meta used copyrighted material for its AI language system, Llama, without permission. The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan. The plaintiffs allege that Meta reproduced and distributed millions of copyrighted works without compensation and with Zuckerberg's personal authorization. Authors published by the suing companies include James Patterson and Donna Tartt. Meta stated Monday it would fight the lawsuit aggressively, arguing AI training on copyrighted material can qualify as fair use. Numerous authors have pursued legal action against AI developers in recent years.

A judge used their mutant superpower of common sense to obliterate Florida's latest attempt at a literary witch hunt. 📚🔥 Apparently, the only thing obscene is the idea that banning a bunch of innocent books somehow protects society from... reading? 😂
