Google wasted no time in using the Nobel prize to argue that its ok to steal data and exploit labor to train generative AI models.

And Geoff Hinton wasted no time in telling us how the Nobel prize will add credibility to his claims on LLMs understanding and more of his doomer stuff.

Fun times ahead of us.

Mentioning the Nobel Prizes for AI research, Google asks court to consolidate Leovy and Zhang suits

Google wasted no time to mention this week’s Nobel Prizes to Geoffrey Hinton (formerly at Google) and Demis Hassabis (Google DeepMind) in its more mundane motion for consolidation of the laws…

@timnitGebru I thought Nobel wanted his prize to encourage people to help mankind, not to bring about faster climate change because "We won't meet our carbon reduction goals anyway."
@timnitGebru I'm just some guy, but it seems to me that as events unfold and the bubble collapses, this decision will do a lot to (further) undermine the prestige of the award.
@timnitGebru
We are, as it were, present at the Creation.
@timnitGebru Par for the course for a prize founded on dynamite...

@timnitGebru

All LLMs in the public domain then ok. But train them carbon free and without water. .

What if we ask the machine at the expense of our biosphere? And the answer it spits out is about as useful as ‘42’ ?

Socialize the datacenters before it’s too late!

@timnitGebru
What is that article? A picture of some legalese, a short paragraph, and the same legalese again, this time as text.

I hoped to figure out what the sinificance of those court cases is, what the effect of consolidating them might be and what any of that has to do with AI. But there is zero information given in any of this.
