This is consistent with the strategy depicted by Rose and the fact that the battleground is primarily in the US.
For OpenAI, the key issue at the moment is not patents but copyright monopoly and trade secrets : strive [08:58] schestowitz[TR2] to restrict as much as possible access to the data sets of copyrighted works they use for learning their software.

  • Development start of Leap 16.0

    Id like to announce the start of development and the public availability of what we currently refer to as Leap 16.0 pre-Alpha. Since this is a pre-Alpha version, significant changes may occur, and the final product may look very different in the Alpha, Beta, Release Candidate, or General Avail [09:58] schestowitz[TR2] ability stages. The installer will currently offer you Base, GNOME, and KDE.

    All anyone could learn from the "Act of communication/making available to the public" arguments and relevant articles even on this site itself, is that in making some decisions saying *linking* can infringe upon rights, a veritable legal minefield was created that nonetheless most people publishing to a functional internet plow right through, and i [13:25] schestowitz[TR2] t's only when a special interest pops up that it is attempted to be used as a surgical blade with little regard for where or how it will end up cutting." [13:25] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-ipkitten.blogspot.com | The German LAION decision: A problematic understanding of the scope of the TDM copyright exceptions and the transition from TDM to AI training - The IPKat [13:37] schestowitz[TR2] http://ipkitten.blogspot.com/2024/10/the-german-laion-decision-problematic.html?showComment=1728293027903#c6046931738905137807 [13:37] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-ipkitten.blogspot.com | The German LAION decision: A problematic understanding of the scope of the TDM copyright exceptions and the transition from TDM to AI training - The IPKat [13:37] schestowitz[TR2] "As far as I know, LAION doesn't host the picture, so I don't understand how whatever interface they offer on their site could possibly contain a reproduction by LAION. To the extent that the pictures are reproduced during the creation process of their dataset, the reproductions are immediately and irrevocably deleted once the content extraction process is finished (according to LAION).

    I think what happens is that their [13:37] schestowitz[TR2] demo web interface embeds (embedded? I can't get it to work) pictures from their original locations to showcase how nicely their dataset works. As far as the "actual purpose" of their dataset goes, however, LAION (only) provides a toolbox for mass-downloading the files (eg the "img2dataset tool") to enable the training process; but it never supplies the images, only the URL/content pairs. Unlike the author of t [13:37] schestowitz[TR2] his post I don't think that any "uploading [of] copies of protected content on the dataset" ever actually occurred.

    Therefore any infringements that may have potentially occurred in the demo interface seem to be logically confined to the realm of the communications right. However, the only thing plaintiff asked for was to enjoin LAION from "reproducing or causing others to reproduce the following photograp [13:37] schestowitz[TR2] h [...] for the purpose of creating Hey Hi (AI) training data sets" (paras 30f of the decision on openjur). So it makes sense to me that the court wouldn't get into any such issue."
