Wouldn’t surprise me.. he’s scum..
**The plaintiffs say in their lawsuit:**
> “In their effort to win the AI ‘arms race’ and build a functional generative AI model, Defendants Meta and Zuckerberg followed their well-known motto: **‘move fast and break things’** They first illegally torrented millions of copyrighted books and journal articles from notorious pirate sites and downloaded unauthorized web scrapes of virtually the entire internet. They then copied those stolen fruits many times over to train Meta’s multibillion-dollar generative AI system called Llama. In doing so, Defendants engaged in one of the most massive infringements of copyrighted materials in history.”
Who’s expect any less?!
I hope he gets personally sued into oblivion
Long history of being nothing but an IP thief
1) Do bad stuff
2) Ask forgiveness (optional step)
3) Repeat from the beginning
I’m sure he’s ok with bearing all the responsibility because he knows he risks nothing.
The problem with these billion dollar companies and their billionaire owners is that they will assess costs of litigation and fines vs market advantage and revenue and if the one outweighs the other that’s where they are headed. It used to be feature/function IP and reworking not to violate but some still did – now it’s outright theft of copyrighted works. Data centers to do it where the town will be left with shit water and extensive strains in the grid. AI will not be the end of our world but the poisoning and theft of our resources will.
All these AI companies should be sued for massive copyright infringement…
We’re sorta in the „what the f are you gonna do about it“ phase of this techno-elitist flavor of capitalism (or whatever we call this post-Citizens United nightmare).
> After this escalation to Zuckerberg, Meta’s business development team received verbal instructions to stop licensing efforts. One Meta employee presciently described the rationale: ‘if we license once [sic] single book, we won’t be able to lean into the fair use strategy.’”
Of course it was verbal, Zuckerberg wouldn’t be stupid enough to put that in an email, right? (Oh please, oh please, let there be an email or text record of this, I love reading the behind-the-scenes shit that’s always released during these lawsuits).
And it’s no surprise that he’s surrounded himself with other shitheads who offer the kind of rationale this employee did.
Meta employees are scum.
Can’t wait this to have absolutely no consequences. Every other person downloads a mp3 goes to jail and pays a gazillion dollar.
He became a billionaire via IP theft. Why would he stop now?
Now think about what data he’s collecting and selling from your FB page. You’ll never know.
Of course he did.
We made him a multi millionaire
You bad boys. You bad boys. Someone ought to really slap your wrists! Don’t do it again. Anyways here’s the permission to build a huge data cube on old indian burial grounds, and a tax break!
So, what you’re telling me is, the staff knew what they were contemplating was wrong, so they ran it up the chain to cover their asses.
Billionaires are the new aristocracy. Lord Zuckerberg demand divine right to serfs collective works.
We have been here before long ago…
Anyone who read Careless People will not be surprised. The entire culture there is rotten to the core and is purposefully so, from the top down. Zuckerberg is a criminal and should be in prison.
And they threw the book at Aaron Swartz. Zuck belongs in jail, fined into bankruptcy
We’re acting like this isn’t a regular occurrence with big business.
Multiple businesses and owners will do illegal shit and pay for it later because they will suffer zero consequences. Amazon, SpaceX, Walmart, Wells fargo … And these are just ones that were aware of.
Because the amount of money they gained from doing it outweighed any fines associated.
So. The rich make their own rules. See Aaron Swartz
Reminds me of that one time Facebook sold millions of users‘ data to rig the 2016 election.
Make them pay
Nothing will happen to him, Remrmber when music companies went hard against piracy?
Doesn’t matter if everyone still uses their products. People are too addicted to social media
I can’t help but be reminded of the early 2000’s where people’s lives were being destroyed because they downloaded some music off the internet. Then there’s this asshole.
Until someone actually decides to hold these billionaires accountable for breaking the law by sending them to prison, nothing will change. Even if he gets fined, when the consequence of breaking the law is a fine, it’s only a law for the poor. For the rich, it’s just the cost of doing business.
Nothing will happen beyond meta juicing the algorithm
If you’re big enough, they let you do it.
Well it’s a good thing he’s not above the law.
Of course. Cheaper to rip people off and pay the fine than be a decent person and honor peoples intellectual property.
No shit? How totally unexpected.
MPAA was suing low income households over teens on fucking Napster, but multi billion dollar companies that *fucking obviously* knew better and could afford anything they wanted 100X over stealing shit is somehow a gray area? Huh?
His whole career started with stealing. Just another billionaire with no soul or creativity.
