On: Claude Fable 5

[majora2007]

I don't get what you're saying. You're frustrated that Open Source projects were used to build these AIs and that OS devs (or devs in general) are paying to use AI.

Then you say you had money that you used to donate(?) to OS and have cut that because of the frustration?

Open source just means sharing the source code for people to learn off or have the ability to customize on their own. I don't think there is any need to be frustrated about that (now if it was copyright/private of course).

Yes people, not corporations. The point is there a licenses to be respected that weren't.

Model training pretty clearly falls under fair use.

We could fix that, but it requires a political will to change the law.

If you look carefully model training is a very good relicensing exercise of your code

This has not been determined in courts and your willingness to speak so confidently about it speaks volumes.

The closest we've come to a court decision on this so far has been the Anthropic case, which did indeed find that training on unlicensed data falls under fair use: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/25982181-authors-v-a...

> To summarize the analysis that now follows, the use of the books at issue to train Claude and its precursors was exceedingly transformative and was a fair use under Section 107 of the Copyright Act. And, the digitization of the books purchased in print form by Anthropic was also a fair use but not for the same reason as applies to the training copies. Instead, it was a fair use because all Anthropic did was replace the print copies it had purchased for its central library with more convenient space-saving and searchable digital copies for its central library — without adding new copies, creating new works, or redistributing existing copies.
