Malus, which is a piece of “satire” but also fully functional, performs a “clean room” clone of open source software, meaning users could then sell, redistribute, etc. the software without crediting the original developers. But I have a hard time with the “clean room” argument since the LLM doing the behind-the-scenes work has already ingested the entire corpus of open source software – and somehow the output of the LLMs isn’t considered a derivative work.
Omg Imagine if half of the case is just an ML course to teach the jury what training data is.
Jury #7: “But it is fine to do it because Facebook said so”
And you teach all of them the amount of data facebook takes from them. ALL of it.
That sounds painful. Absolutely no shade to the lovely older person I overheard today say: “so how do you get the little folks on the screen to know what buttons I pressed?”
But I’m guessing it could be similar to music copywrite law where jurors don’t have to understand audio engineering to know two samples sound the same.
Nope the class will be dropped down to teach all the basics and then up to vector databases and word embeddings to understand the case.
I would expect the jury to be nothing less than world-class experts on statistics, linear algebra, and calculus once the case is decided.
Exactly, the public will be educated one way or the other!
