great news - strong support for authors including Michael Chabon and others to stand up to this vacuum technology.

as a Westerner and close to Silicon Valley, the development of The Internet has taken many twists and turns. For example, understanding that the economic zone of China acknowledged zero, no-copyright on English language creative works, starting with print and continuing into digital content, was startling to me, unexpected and personally offensive.

Zooming out, what I see is US-based multinationals using the banner of AI, to just plunder and copy everything and anything digital for their AI-mixers.


He nearly ruined my childhood as showrunner for Picard Season 1.


Honestly an AI could write better Star Trek than what we got in STP season 1/2


A silly waste of legal resources. Does Mr. Chabon believe AI is competing with his novels? AI is a bullshit generator, not a novel writer.


seems like the whole claim is

> GPT and ChatGPT are themselves infringing derivative works without Plaintiffs’ and Class members’ permission

which seems obviously false to me


It may be false, but is it obviously false?
