Download all existing literature to build a library for preservation and you’re called a pirate. Download all existing literature from aforementioned library to train an LLM and you’re a tech innovator. What a strange world we live in.

Said library contains petabytes of the exact text of each and every piece of literature.

Said model contains gigabytes of a bunch of weights that can never go back to the exact words of the book.

It’s not strange at all. It’s degrees of compression. You compress a JPEG to the point that it’s unrecognizable, and it’s no longer breaking copyright. It’s essentially like trying to write a book you just read based on memory.
Lol Meta literally torrented 81 TB of data from the site. Stop with this “degrees of compression” bs
Caping for big tech?
Nasty work.
so you’re saying degrading quality while getting filthy rich by stealing everyone else’s work is better than archival efforts? not sure what your point is.
His point is basically that if you remove every 5th word of a book it’s legal to hoard as it’s compressed.
want the link just so i can know how to avoid it i’m a good girl who does’t steal totally.
Ngl, it pisses me off that number 4 on the Top 10,000 list is “Clean Baby Sleep White Noise (Loopable)”
Most people still don’t know that their phones most likely already has a noise generator build in without any extra app (at least on iOS)
If it makes you feel any better noise is hard to compress so it costs Spotify more I imagine
Sadly there will be no King Gizzard in this archive.
I’m not sure about that. They only recently removed their music from Spotify and this archive certainly took a good while to create.
Same for GY!BE, I guess
This is a good thing honestly, fuck Spotify it ruined music as much as any single company/service could.
