   This is the largest theft in the United States. The NYT reports that: OpenAI built a tool to transcribe YouTube videos to train its LLMs. Greg Brockman personally helped scrape the videos. OpenAI knew it was a legal gray area. Microsoft is funding this project. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/06/technology/tech-giants-harvest-data-artificial-intelligence.html?unlocked_article_code=1.ik0.RaCf.bqzjdn7Qj4Gg&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&ugrp=u&sgrp=c-cb

     @nixCraft this whole AI story is an interesting phenomenon. Daron Acemoğlu and James A. Robinson point the laws protecting intellectual property on their works „Why Nation Fails: The Origin of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty“ as one of the key factors for the success of industrialized nations as the USA.

     I wonder if this behavior will make people create less because at the end only big tech can make money out of intellectual property. We may be experiencing the downfall of capitalism right now.

     @nixCraft I do not see the problem

     Was any of the material they used not on the public internet?

     It is available to read, see, watch, listen to, and learn from

     The last thing we need is tighter IP laws, they will be to benefit the powerful over the weak
