in a webinar this morning on ChatGPT and libraries, someone mentioned that publishers are getting stickier about #OpenAccess because they don't want their stuff to end up driving someone else's #generativeAI app. A colleague here had heard of a case of A Profitable Academic Publisher trying to negotiate a new clause restricting the use of their open stuff to build LLMs. If you've seen anyone writing about this, link please? If AI ends up bolstering resistance to OA in academia that would be bad.
wish #Apple would share the songs/tracks being played on the live event video waiting screen with an Apple Music link. Thankfully Shazam is always an option 😅 https://music.apple.com/us/album/invierno/1609097894?i=1609097911
