Two authors sued OpenAI, accusing the company of violating copyright law. They say OpenAI used their work to train ChatGPT without their consent.

AI hate is going to be a trojan horse for even harsher and stupider 'intellectual property' laws.

Yeah, they want the right only to protect who copies their work and distributes it to other people, but who's able to actually read their work.

It's asinine and we should be rolling back copy right, not making it more strict. This 70 year plus the life of the author thing is bullshit.

Copyright of code/research is one of the biggest scams in the world. It hinders development and only exists so the creator can make money, plus it locks knowledge behind a paywall

Researchers pay for publication, and then the publisher doesn't pay for peer review, then charges the reader to read research that they basically just slapped on a website.

It's the publisher middlemen that need to be ousted from academia, the researchers don't get a dime.
