Google used Google services and products to improve its AI offerings is the question?
Europe, incapable of promoting its own tech, and ever doubling down on relying on US tech, trying to tell tech companies how to do their job.
Well, good luck, EU. We all know one phone call from sleepy don will send you in hiding.
edit: lol at the europeans raging. and i’m european myself. guys, maybe trying to get your governments off of US big tech’s tit instead of systematically hoping to get their services but only the way *you* want it.
Google has been scraping the web for the past 25 years.. back then it was called SEO and people killed for it
It’s pretty clear to me that all the big ai companies stole all the data from everywhere and everything.
Book, movies, private websites, public websites, reddit, youtube, Facebook, every language, everything.
and then after the fact everyone started changing their terms and conditions and buying data from each other to make it look like they had all gotten this data fairly.
They all stole and they have all gotten away with it and even a multi billion dollar fines and lawsuits won’t stop them.
None of us should even be using reddit, we should all have gone elsewhere when reddit changed their terms and conditions to sell this data to ai, but no one reads the fine print and no where is safe from ai data scraping so we all just kinda gave up and let the robots steal our words, our humanity.
We are fucked.
Not like OpenAI did it legally.
Didnt the dude from Anthropic literally say that they have to do that? AI is quite literally built on the concept of stealing everyones work and we’re gonna be forced to support it.
It has to be regulated so good on EU!
Without web crawling their can be no search. This being illegal is the dumbest timeline.
The EU is such a joke when it comes to tech
And Open AI trained on….? Their developers diaries?
When the public complains retrospectively about its own effect, all we need to do is use an omega mirror.
I guess their training [contract with Reddit](https://www.reuters.com/technology/reddit-ai-content-licensing-deal-with-google-sources-say-2024-02-22/) might have helped somehow to bridge the gap…
how is it stealing if half the population of the world gives you free data by accepting TOS. this has nothing to do with improvement to catch up openAI. this is about news publishers
Of course they did. Every single one of these tech bros probably grew up downloading everything they wanted.
I have a strict $5,000 scraping fee for my content. We should all invoice Google
Yep. And there isn’t gonna be anything that any government will be able to do about it, sadly.
We’ve already let AI get bigger than any country or even continental alliance
I can’t believe Google would ever scrape people’s data! Wait…
Remember what was done to Aaron shwartz for less
This article sponsored by open AI. Trust us, we’re the good guys.
Surely the NSA must have a god- tier level model trained on everything fed from XKEYSCORE?
Copywrite law is for the little people. Big tech oligarchs are above the law.
Until executives serve jail time or pay ruinous firm shut down fines why would they change?
Its a business expense to pay nuisance fees or overwhelm the court system in lawyers.
If you dont like it, they will just get MAGA to seize control of the EU and make it the 53rd state after Canada and Mexico.
Feel like any wrong doing would be covered on terms of services agreement
Its always great to see too big to fail companies commiting white collar crimes, buts its ok because the ROI out weighs the morality or fines. USA baby! But no porn ok?
>Officials said they’re seeking to determine whether Google gained an edge over AI rivals by imposing unfair terms and conditions, or giving itself privileged access to content.
They don’t do much else… It’s a scam tech company…
Can’t wait for absolute jack shit consequences to happen
The Google CEO is such a human piece of garbage.
To catch up with OpenAI who illegally scraped the web to become relevant in the first place. It’s an Oroborus of criminality.
Get ready, Google. You are getting fined in 2-3 years and it will be at least 0.01% of your revenue.
An investigation discovered that water is wet.
They’re basically training their models on our searches and email aren’t they?
Make these fuckers pay
# „European regulators“ lol
