They are so good at advertising Linux that they have 73% of desktop market share while linux has less than 5% according to statcounter

Lol

And they've downloaded and read millions of books without paying for them.

Do you have a source on that?

OpenAI like other AI companies keep their data sources confidential. But there are services and commercial databases for books that people understand are commonly used in the AI industry.

Time will prove you wrong

Those claiming AI training on copyrighted works is “theft” are misunderstanding key aspects of copyright law and AI technology. Copyright protects specific expressions of ideas, not the ideas themselves. When AI systems ingest copyrighted works, they’re extracting general patterns and concepts - the “Bob Dylan-ness” or “Hemingway-ness” - not copying specific text or images.

This process is more akin to how humans learn by reading widely and absorbing styles and techniques, rather than memorizing and reproducing exact passages. The AI discards the original text, keeping only abstract representations in “vector space”. When generating new content, the AI isn’t recreating copyrighted works, but producing new expressions inspired by the concepts it’s learned.

This is fundamentally different from copying a book or song. It’s more like the long-standing artistic tradition of being influenced by others’ work. The law has always recognized that ideas themselves can’t be owned - only particular expressions of them.

Moreover, there’s precedent for this kind of use being considered “transformative” and thus fair use. The Google Books project, which scanned millions of books to create a searchable index, was found to be legal despite protests from authors and publishers. AI training is arguably even more transformative.

While it’s understandable that creators feel uneasy about this new technology, labeling it “theft” is both legally and technically inaccurate. We may need new ways to support and compensate creators in the AI age, but that doesn’t make the current use of copyrighted works for AI training illegal or unethical.

there are no good opinions you have

On a side note the free gemini version (whichever model they use) is absolute poo poo compared to free Claude or even Chatgpt.

I shall not stoop so low as to using a browser named ““floorp””.

Nah

I use adblock so I am doing this planet a service by adding load to their shitty serveris 👍

A few more peaceful protests is sure to fix things in a giffie!

You address this to tankies. I see very few of them around here these days.

Cringe karma post.

Changing the brightness or WiFi settings can be very useful for many people. Not everyone is a Linux nerd and knows all the ins and outs of basic computing.

Based on a super niche subset of chronically online youth - this applies to everyone. 🤪
