AI companies copy all written works they can get their hands on and call it fair use, if someone does it to their models it suddenly becomes "unauthorized distillation" and should be actionable in court. The double-standard is ridiculous. https://www.theregister.com/2026/02/14/ai_risk_distillation_attacks/

  • @seanfobbe@fediscience.org The fact that Google put their own needs front and center in that threat intel report instead of those of their customers and the public was frankly off-putting.

    @seanfobbe@fediscience.org not surprising and as @nicklockwood@mastodon.social posted earlier (I’ll have to find the post and update here), and I’m paraphrasing, that the law will always side with to corpo-fascist because they are dictating the laws not the publicly elected criminals, and certainly not common sense.

    @seanfobbe@fediscience.org It stuns me that anyone with proprietary software would allow it to be uploaded to somebody's AI model for the purpose of improving, refactoring, or "finding bugs". You've just given away your most sensitive IP, to somebody who did not sign your NDA. In my work, previously that would have been unthinkable.

  • @seanfobbe@fediscience.org disappointed the reg didn't get comments from the companies on the obvious double standard here. Or at the very least point it out 😞

    @seanfobbe@fediscience.org I knew it would take a situation like this for the techbros to actually consider pushing legislation. The whole "nuuuu, legislation will stifle innovation of a vulnerable new industry uwu" to getting lawmakers involved once other foreign competitors start stealing the datasets they stole in the first place is peak capitalist greed and systematic corruption. What would be hilarious is if the legislators say "our hands are tied due to the 10 year ban on AI regulation provision in the big "beautiful" bill, leaving these techbros high and dry to fix this on their own, but I don't think they realize the shitstorm that would ensue if they ask the dementia-ridded orange for favors to skirt around said law in this instance.

    @seanfobbe@fediscience.org @michaelgraaf@kolektiva.social […] #OpenAI has to be the most insufferable company in the world. They can steal from the whole world and guzzle all possible resources. But no one can give them a taste of their own medicine even a little bit. https://dair-community.social/@timnitGebru/113909909764399262 #theaicon #llm #deepseek
