OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Sam Altman are in massive trouble. OpenAI is getting sued in the US for illegally using content from the internet to train their LLM or large language models
FWIW even if it was FOSS I’d still care. For me it’s more about intent. If your business model/livelihood relies on stealing from people there’s a problem. That’s as true on a business level as it is an individual one.
Doesn’t mean I have an answer as sometimes it’s extremely complex. The easy analogy is how we pirate TV shows and movies. Netflix originally proved this could be mitigated by providing the material cheaply and easily. People don’t want to steal (on average).
I find people in general are much more willing to part with their money than the big corps think. I’ll even go to the extent to say that we enjoy doing so. Just look at Twitch – tonnes of money are thrown at streamers because it’s fun and convenient, or at TikTok vendors selling useless stuff on live streaming. We just don’t like to be lied to and treated like cash cows.
Amen.
Flip side with twitch I saw a girl get gifted 500$. It was awkward as all get out because there’s a feeling you need to perform and you could see her struggling with what to do. Money makes things unduly complex and I don’t like it lol
