Having to rewrite decades worth of legacy Cisco code is going to make Claude retire and start a goose farm.

That pretty obviously fails the copyright test. Training on LLM weights isn't transformative because you are producing...another LLM.

The key point in all these AI training lawsuits is "transformative use".

If an LLM trains on NYT articles is the output of the model a substitute for the original article? Or will people continue to pay for the New York Times as before?

Whether they build a business around it doesn't really matter. Plenty of large businesses depend on fair use to avoid copyright lawsuits, including any tech company that hosts any kind of content (YouTube, Reddit, Meta). Even the media itself relies on fair use to be able to air any content.

Ah yes the famously intelligent right wing politicians.

This is the most hilarious thing I have ever read. Part of me wants this law to go into effect just to watch an entire country send itself back to 1988 to try and compy with it.

Summary of n°I-1358:

- It's a tax on internet "content", but they haven't defined what that means exactly, so by default it would apply to all internet traffic.

- Bytes delivered to French users by ISPs are taxed (but not user uploads).

- ISPs are responsible for tracking exactly where every GB originates from and will have to report the names to the government.

- The "content provider" then has to pay 0.055 EUR per GB that they sent.

- No explanation for how user-to-user traffic is handled. No explanation for what ISP -> user means (e.g. does P2P count)? No details on how ISPs will track the upstream source. About a million other similar questions are unanswered.

- The amendment was adopted today, and the assembly will vote on it as part of their full budget (but there are still many stages left before it can become law). Even by government standards this is way too idiotic to actually come into effect.

Not just video streaming. Think of game downloads, software updates, video calls, cloud storage, backups.

A GTA 6 download is estimated to be 210 GB. Under this law the publisher or storefront will have to pay an extra 11.5 EUR per copy in tax. And not just for a sale, but for every download.

Got the latest Apple security update? Think about whether it is really worth paying a couple bucks to install it.

I don't understand. Can't they just borrow $40 trillion?

That's not how streaming services work

This is a bond rating. It has no direct bearing on their stock.

Not really comparable. An IPO in the 90s is equivalent to a Series C or Series D round today.

They powered the initial "Apple Intelligence". The newer version is Gemini.

No, the only AI that matters is one that large corporations are paying for. And that is Claude.

Should everyone pay for every news source?

lol no, abliteration communities have existed and abliterated models routinely published long before Anthropic wrote that post last month.

What’s changing now is that models are getting more powerful.
