Assume a website plans to use user-contribution content to train LLMs. The license for the content is CC BY-SA.

❓ Would the output from the resulting LLMs be required to provide attribution?

Not likely in the US. I personally believe that it's unlikely any of the copyright claims against AI generators will stand.

If Google Books -a web site that literally copied full copyrighted works and allowed people to search through them and showed them actual images of the search results- was deemed to not be in violation of copyright law, then I just don't see how AI systems are going to be found in violation.

Ultimately, if just analyzing and learning from prior works and using that knowledge to create derivative works is copyright violation, then literally every single human that has ever drawn or written anything at all is also in violation.

@crecente @law That would depend on whether the output is considered to be a derivative, I guess? (Assuming it's not a quote.)

⭐ Congratulations to the District Attorney's Office in El Paso for receiving a $500,000 grant which will reinstate their Domestic Violence Unit & educate judges, attorneys, and LE about IPV.

😞 Most law schools do not require domestic violence be taught. As a result, many lawyers know little about this complex, but pervasive, issue.

A new report from CFPB (US) examines consumer risk in the videogame industry:

▪️ Game products & services resemble financial products

▪️ Game companies offer little support for scammed consumers

▪️ Game companies collect surveillance data about players of their games

😐 Yes, you can block them.

😧 And then block the hordes of their followers responding to their whistle.

😶 ... and then quit [platform] rather than deal with this.

These technologies are easily / often used to exploit power imbalances.

This is why it is a use case that must be considered -- even if we have not experienced it ourselves.

There are many people who HAVE experienced the above.

Requiring quotes to be opt-in addresses this problem.

@wrigleyfield from my little time on blue sky I don't see people using the features differently, like QT, etc., the only advantage seems to be that there are more sociologists there. I really don't know why.
