Funny ending.
Meta is particularly worried that the EU AI Act requires you to list your training data or risk massive fines. Whoops!
Even funnier is, they already allowed a lot of hatespeech just as the right started to embrace generative AI, and everyone else mostly rejected it.
The lawyer is one of the top cited lawyers of all time too. That he’s firing Facebook is a big deal
love the linkedin comments trying to insist there will be terrible consequences for this prominent law professor who must just not know his stuff or something
“if there is media coverage suggesting we have used a dataset we know to be pirated, such as LibGen, this may undermine our negotiating position with regulators on these issues.”
Don’t worry about regulators! It’s all good in the nazi hood, right Zuckabees?
That's a headline that needs sorting
Stanford law professor Mark Lemley, a partner at Lex Lumina, is withdrawing from the Kadrey v. Meta case over Meta training its Llama LLM on copyrighted material. He’s “fired Meta as a client” because Mark Zuckerberg has gone full “Neo-Nazi”: [LinkedIn]
I have struggled with how to respond to Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook’s descent into toxic masculinity and Neo-Nazi madness … I cannot in good conscience serve as their lawyer any longer.
So did Rogan ask Zuck to be on the show, or did Zuck ask Rogan?
Almost certainly the latter. Rogan has forged a remarkable career in legitimizing authoritarianism, and he’s never been more valuable to oligarchs than now.
I’ve been thinking on this a lot. It’s genuinely amazing and deeply disturbing how innocuous he seems to people who aren’t aware of what he actually is.
I think he’s been able to market himself to his most ideologically aligned audience as a smaller deal than he really is, despite having the highest-possible profile guests on his show.
For better or for worse this man and his show will be studied for years to come. As someone who was an occasional listener back before the mask-off phase I have so many thoughts on the guy.
LibGen huh?
Is this the new thing? Headlines so abstruse that you can't even figure out if you care?
