@eff what the fuck is wrong with you...
Torpedoing everything good you do with such a shit take???...

@eff now this is disappointing

@eff i guess it is only theft if you aren't a billionaire? you had one job eff and you failed. protecting the rich was not it. grow a spine and fight for EVERYBODY not your tech bros

@eff deeply disappointing

@eff cmon EFF, what corporate contributions are you defending with that conclusion. It is resoundingly false. Your position should be the individual creator not some corporate monolith scraping the globe for all known human knowledge with the goal of regurgitation without citation. It is the largest copytheft industry in history.

@eff 🖕

@eff wait wtf EFF? I thought you were on our side 😿

@eff You know your take is good and you are on the right side of history when you are siding with corporate interests in a puff piece from the Koch funded Reason outlet, and in great company, with their long history of defending and platforming apartheid defenders, big tobacco, climate change deniers, big oil, holocaust deniers, covid deniers...

@eff What is the point of the EFF if it's going to side with big tech companies burning the planet while stealing labour? Are you just PR for oligarchs now?

@eff tell that to my employer when I transformatively use their IP to create a copyleft software that annihilates their whole business model.

"they're the same picture"

@eff What the fuck. Good bye then. Best of luck with the fascists, I'm sure they're all very nice.

@eff fuck you

@eff

Sorry, what? Definitely no.

@eff

@eff I have never been a *recurring* donator, I renewed annually whenever I had some money left. I do this since 2011.

VERY much rethinking this for this end of the year.

Your work is sorely needed, but AI certainly is not one of the things I think you should put my donations towards.

@eff 🤡

@eff Do kindly go and fuck yourself.

@eff fuuuuckofffffff

@eff This ain’t it, chief.

@eff

Another corrupted organization showing their ass.

@eff what's wrong with you?

@eff Hell fucking NO.

@eff you’re supposed to be an organisation that stands up for our digital rights. Our rights include not having work taken wholesale and regurgitated by for profit companies without proper licensing and proper attribution - in most cases actually even costing us money as these bots steal bandwidth meant for humans.

@eff Tell me you don’t understand anything about copyright in 5 lines or less.

@eff can you elaborate what this means for "clean room" implementations? Just running it through an LLM would follow the same logic? (honest question; haven't seen rulings/opinions/news about this)

@eff Your CIA is showing

@eff Fuck me. We really needed you on our side regarding this. Terrible, worst approach possible from the EFF.

@eff oh dear!

@eff

@eff Saw this coming. EFF has been on Big Tech's side for every issue except surveillance capitalism and censorship.

Well, this sucks. Thanks for siding with fascism, EFF. I'd suggest abandoning Open Source Software as a cause of yours as well as the Creative Commons, because if AI is going to have your backing, you can't support either of those. (You have lawyers, you should know why.)

@eff you've got to be kidding?

@eff did a LLM write this? fucks sake

@eff
IANAL but to me it's pretty clear that genAI ouput directly competes with the original works the models were trained on. How the hell is that fair use?

@eff a horrible opinion that screws creators. Unbelievable that you would not only support mass copyright infringement, but seemingly with enthusiasm. You've officially helped tip the scales in favor of billionaire robber barons and likely alienated a large percentage of your supporters.

Are you counting on large donations from the supremely entitled, inhuman, hoarding scumbags?

@eff no

@eff Disappointing. Does standing up for AI really align with your mission of defending privacy and free speech online?

@eff what the fuck, EFF, what did you smoke? This is awful.

I hate this world.

@eff what the fuck is this

@eff alright, who shat in your brain?

@eff
So which AI model has escaped it sandbox now and hacked your account?

@eff Oops, no more donations from me

@eff Maybe these stupid #AI #Clankers can stop this stupid #DDoS attack on my server then?

If you have taken this hypocritical take on copyright, then you need to get your head out of you're ass, because if I did the same thing these companies are doing, I'd be sued into hell for it.

Translation: Someone at the #EFF is definitely getting fired over this stupid post.

@eff I fart in your general direction.

@eff Oh, that's disappointing.

@eff are you serious? You guys are compromised.

@eff did the EFF change on this? 😳

@eff EFF thinks they are so galaxy brained in their own heads they espouse a truely stupid take on AI.

@eff this is a shit position and you should be ashamed.
