Yes, absurd. But that’s why Meta Comms seems to always pick Alex Heath for these. It’s embarrassing all around. Zuckerberg’s Meta drops billions so he doesn’t have to answer under oath on the stand about harms and his decisions then they trade access to lock in their narrative. 2.8K views · 34 likes · 15 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

quick question for those in the know. is every single school district in America suing Meta/Facebook/Instagram? My docket tracker sure feels like it. Dozens today which is a pretty normal day. 1.5K views · 23 likes · 14 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

Finally, I tried to capture much of the thinking and reaction above in this piece for our @DCNorg InContext site over the weekend, it just posted. /18 https://t.co/gMglOnEtKo 351 views · 0 likes · 1 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

While we were on a holiday weekend, NYT nailed its motion for summary judgment on Friday. In NYT v. OpenAI/Microsoft -> the issue is substitution. And as SCOTUS noted, substitution is "copyright’s bête noire.” 1/2 2.6K views · 33 likes · 3 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

and a link to what the copyright office said about all of this including that AI training isn't just fair use but requires a case by case analysis as this court case is doing. this is all playing out in the courts. /17 https://t.co/5vFFiISh8X 1.3K views · 15 likes · 4 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

and friendly reminder, NYT filed for sanctions against OpenAI. Not sure when that will come into play for arguments but could be consequential for OpenAI. /16 https://t.co/U2BrvDWNH8 877 views · 10 likes · 2 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

And i shld clarify. super super not impressed w/ OpenAI's motion. As their defense, they argue NYT's traffic is up, plaintiffs use OpenAI's LLMs, extracting facts not copyrighted expression. meh. read it. /14 https://t.co/jE18wujqkA 404 views · 13 likes · 3 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

It's a good, important read. I read the defense's arguments first (they filed first) as I wanted to hear its best case. I ended up where I started. Substitution is copyright's “bête noire.” Here is link to plaintiff NYT and news publishers motion. /12 https://t.co/y23vPU16S3 http

Yes that issue is a prisoners' dilemma: AI companies are better off if quality journalism isn't harmed but each gains if they can take for free while others pay. Plaintiffs argue a ruling this isn't fair use will put all AI firms on an even footing. [a MSFT doc] "shows why." /11

Counter to Big AI proxies' spin, fair use is an affirmative defense. OpenAI/Microsoft have the burden to show no harm to existing (or potential!) markets. Plaintiffs show lots of harm. Looks like a MSFT exec even rightly tied this imperiling publishers to impacting AI itself. /10

👀 Plaintiff motion has 10x more redactions, likely due to defendants, so unsealing will be helpful. This here suggests OpenAI created blocklists to stop grounding on sites but didn't block plaintiff site(s) until later - despite plaintiffs opting out. /9 https://t.co/BuhvClM2J2

Plaintiffs also allege OpenAI acquired content through Common Crawl sidestepping opt-outs (not that those are necessary) and publisher terms at unprecedented scale. We've been here but technically accessible is not the same as consent...even more so if working around blocks. /8 h

Interesting piece of evidence alleging OpenAI created a scraper called WebText which leaned into quality by prioritizing webpages "curated/filtered by humans." This should grab the attention of anyone who does this work including us at DCN. /7 https://t.co/nJP6MnIRLB

Scale matters here. Microsoft and OpenAI are trillion dollar tech companies. Plaintiffs say instead of licensing, they copied their journalism, even included copies between each other in deal, as they built commercial products on top of it. /6 https://t.co/zCmz2gjljV

Plaintiffs argue fair use is use-specific: scraping, training, grounding, outputting each must be justified. They seek liability for unauthorized copying across the entire pipeline: acquiring, training, grounding, outputs. Defenses' experts seem to provide a lot of support. /5 ht

I take defendants’ core argument here as AI is so clearly transformative and solely responsible for the need for web grounding/training that the harm to an emerging licensing market doesn't matter? It clearly does. /4 https://t.co/7a9wXvlZPU

That's the substitution point. Where search helped us to find websites, GenAI can satisfy users without even a visit, a subscription, an ad impression, or a license. Seems a lot like substitution/replacement to me. Very different than the below. /3 https://t.co/ZyGj70iSIf

as expected, Big AI argues LLMs are transformative tech... here, just users “having a conversation with the internet” about “what it knows.” C'mon, the internet doesn't “know.” Publishers, journalists, editors, creators know - AI is vacuuming up their work, substituting it. /2 ht

voila. substitution is "copyright’s bête noire.” just wrapped reading ~150pgs of Summary Judgement motions in landmark AI case: NYT v OpenAI/Microsoft. Both sides have great lawyers...write best arguments. Publishers have facts and law...anchoring up top to SCOTUS in Warhol. /1 h

woah. The New York Times et al just filed for sanctions in its massive, very consequential copyright lawsuit against OpenAI. Much still sealed but allegations include OpenAI has knowingly provided false information to the Court, deleted evidence and obstructed discovery. 1/2 http

Excellent. The Copyright Office report yesterday affirms what our members - and the broader creative community - have long contended: that the wholesale ingestion of copyrighted works to train gen AI models without consent or compensation is NOT fair use under current law. /1 htt

ok, I've now read the full NYT complaint filed this morning vs OpenAI and Microsoft. I'm impressed - it's future-focused around fair value for work vital to democracy. It also contains 220k pages of exhibits although the pages of Ex J stood out to me. more on that in a minute. /1
