The OpenAI ruling writers should know about 👀 (if your work was scraped for LLM training, this might affect you).

A U.S. court ordered OpenAI to turn over internal communications on why it deleted two massive datasets of pirated books used to train their models. Those datasets (the definitely-not-hiding-anything sets labeled “books 1” and “books 2”) contained 100,000+ copyrighted and scraped books (novels, non-fiction, etc.). (Sans consent or author compensation, of course.) At this point, we’ve known for years that tech companies have used pirated copyrighted work to train their AI models, as well as vast quantities of online works (fanfic, blog posts, journalism, etc...). Without them, these LLMs would effectively not exist. But if the court finds OpenAI knowingly trained on pirated books and deleted the evidence to to avoid scrutiny, that could mean actual consequences to the tune of billions of dollars. Earlier this year, Anthropic was compelled to compensate authors $1.5 billion for... similarly sus training. This means potentially huge effects across the entire industry, and a major blow to Big Tech’s scrape first, apologize never strategy. We'll be keeping a close eye on any developments. - the Ellipsus Team xo

the rise of conservatism and gen z puritanism while still simultaneously trying to be hip and woke is so annoying because you have these people saying "match my freak" and then they get mad at ageplay and petplay and cnc and somno and anything raunchier than a pair of fuzzy handcuffs. you're not a "freak" if you think having a fetish is synonymous with being evil

“ao3 always receives more funds and donations than what they ask for” yeah that’s because people love a place that actually protects all fanfics, art and artists against censorship, purity culture and capitalism. shocking, I know

fanfiction is a rare gem and a solid, living proof that, in a world of tiktok, influencers and content posting, not everything is about money and going viral. art can still be art just for the sake of the artists’ pure love, joy and passion for the art they create. fanfic writers write 100k words and more about the characters they love for free. just because they love these characters and the art of writing so much. art is not dead and the world is still beautiful.

shoutout to fanfiction and fanfic writers

I hate the sanitization of fandom and I hate that it's become such a thing that people are unafraid to openly say they're working to sanitize fandom.

Not even exaggerating.

#(right along with the other one that a while back admitted that they'd rather be a fascist than allow problematic fiction)

Oh, so they're just saying the quiet part out loud now? 🤮 And I'll say this again: The ironic part is that most of these Fandom Puritans are self-proclaimed Liberals.

For reference this is the anti I was referring to. Yeah. No mask. Just... This. The "creepy things" they are talking about are fictional btw.
