    “A corporation destroyed a trove of books!”

    “That’s terrible, what books were lost?”

    “Oh, none. It was a digital collection.”

    “But people will be inconvenienced by losing the repository, right?”

    “No, I mean a corporation deleted a dataset they made, trained from a metaphorical trove of books.”

    “I’m leaving.”

    Nice to see Lemmy users don’t read the articles before posting stupid comments. The internet never changes.

    The article is about a lawsuit by book authors.

    OpenAI trained their models on copyrighted material.

    OpenAI deleted the sources so the list of copyrighted materials is unknown.

    Anyway.

    The free stuff we put out on the internet got scraped by a robot?
