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.

    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.”
