@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?
