Meta was recently sued for copyright infringement for training its “AI” (LLM) Llama with copyrighted works that it had expressed interest in licensing, but chose not to. The Judge ruled in favor of trillion-dollar company Meta and against book authors, citing Fair Use. This is particularly interesting to us given the recent Bloomberg DMCA aggression against GamersNexus and our own experiences with Fair Use, so we dug into it to learn more.
Funnily enough I’ve been watching through Dark Matter and Alien: Earth and last night after watching an episode of each back to back realized that we’re probably not far off from being directly ruled by corporations after all our governments fall, which is a central theme in each show.
You get my kudos for mentioning Dark Matter. Damn the show was good while it lasted.
I don’t think our governments are going to fall. I do think they are however extensions of corporations and over time are becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish from business.
How you enjoying After: Earth? I’m finding myself being less interested with every new episode.
The same.
Foundation has been the opposite though. Each episode is getting better and better.
It’s based on the books though, isnt it? Is it as cringe?
I haven’t read the books, but from what I understand, fans of the books generally don’t care for the show because they think they changed too much. I think season 2 was a little slow but 1 and 3 have been great.
I’ll give it another try once I forget most of the book, otherwise it’s hard not to compare. I loved the books so anything different is hard to digest.
I haven’t delved too deeply into the criticism so far all I know it could be baseless “internet complaints” like The Last of Us where people were upset that the girl playing the teenage character “wasn’t attractive enough.”
Oh i might check it out, then
