Meta and CEO Mark Zuckerberg are being sued by five publishers and author Scott Turow, who allege the tech company illegally copied millions of books, articles and other works to train Meta’s AI systems.

“In their effort to win the AI ‘arms race’ and build a functional generative AI model, Defendants Meta and Zuckerberg followed their well-known motto: ‘move fast and break things,'” the plaintiffs say in their lawsuit. ”They first illegally torrented millions of copyrighted books and journal articles from notorious pirate sites and downloaded unauthorized web scrapes of virtually the entire internet. They then copied those stolen fruits many times over to train Meta’s multibillion-dollar generative AI system called Llama. In doing so, Defendants engaged in one of the most massive infringements of copyrighted materials in history.”

The largest data center in the world was just approved in Utah.

The county commission voted for the data center despite massive resistance from residents and one commissioner mocked residents: “For hell’s sake, grow up.”

The people responded by chanting:

“PEOPLE OVER PROFITS!”

Mark Zuckerberg built a MASSIVE data center in Georgia

Just hundreds of yards from people’s homes.

Water pressure collapsed. Sinks don’t run. Toilets won’t refill. Homes shake nonstop. Power outages are common

A billionaire gets his servers — working families get steamrolled.
