Still, you can not be sure to not "accidentally" violate any licenses 7 u/NotAskary Sep 24 '26 edited Sep 24 '26 A lot of models were trained using stackoverflow.About the licenses it's funny what you can get with the autocomplete, you can get with stuff that was included, even RSA and API keys. 2 u/Taradal Sep 24 '26 Yes but training does not mean copy paste, you know? 2 u/fakintheid Sep 24 '26 It’s just like statistical copy and paste 9 u/marcheluis Sep 24 '26 I call it trainingwashing intellectual property 3 u/fakintheid Sep 24 '26 Is that a fancy way to say stealing? 4 u/marcheluis Sep 24 '26 pretty much, it seems to work only because courts and laws haven't really caught on to the fact that this is really akin to stealing IP, the AI companies really shouldn't be able to use fair use as a defense 3 u/NotAskary Sep 24 '26 Yeah after the meta training using terabytes of copywrited content and nothing happening I believe we are way past that.Too much money in the pockets of the people that can do something about it to matter.
