Training AI models on copyrighted works is "squarely what transformative use is," EFF’s Tori Noble told Reason - these are "general purpose tools" and "exactly the kind of creation that copyright is designed to foster.” https://reason.com/2026/09/04/doj-says-barring-ai-training-on-copyrighted-material-could-severely-hamper-tech-progress/
If you haven’t already done so, now is the time to cancel any donations to these libertarian tech bros.
So, this is not me arguing, just trying to understand, and so far I have more questions than answers:
Can you give me specific instances of this?
Did you report it?
If you did report it, what did you give as your “reason” in the report? (I ask just because mostly the reports we get aren’t very specific with their reason and sometimes it’s hard to discern even what specifically they mean. I don’t personally review every thread that comes through !fuck_ai@lemmy.world, so it’s not like I go into these reports with context to go off of.)
You say “explicitly”. As in, mods have made statements in reference to what you’re talking about?
How frequent are these instances? A running pattern, or a once-off?
Honestly just any more context you can give me will be helpful.
If you’d like to move this conversation to DM, I’m good with that. Or if you’re wanting more transparency in this discussion, I’m good with keeping it here.
