@elonmusk Discussions require polite vocabulary. Why the angst @elonmusk ? How did this first principle escape you ? Mocking #MukeshAmbani or further still @PMOIndia borders bizarre. A smart gent like you knows well how permissions work globally, ask @BYDCompany! Hope you revisit approach

After reading the @nytimes lawsuit against @OpenAI and @Microsoft, I find my sympathies more with OpenAI and Microsoft than with the NYT.
The suit:
(1) Claims, among other things, that OpenAI and Microsoft used millions of copyrighted NYT articles to train their models
(2) Gives examples in which OpenAI models regurgitated NYT articles almost verbatim
But the presentation muddies (1) and (2), and I saw a lot of commentary on social media that -- because of what I believe is a muddied presentation -- draws a link between them that I'm not sure is what people think it is.
On (1): I understand why media companies don't like people training on their documents, but believe that just as humans are allowed to read documents on the open internet, learn from them, and synthesize brand new ideas, AI should be allowed to do so too. I would like to see training on the public internet covered under fair use -- society will be better off this way -- though whether it actually is will ultimately be up to legislators and the courts.
On (2): I suspect a lot of the examples of ChatGPT regurgitating articles nearly verbatim were due to a RAG-like mechanism where the user prompt causes the system to browse the web, retrieve a specific article and then print it out. (If my statement here isn't accurate, I would love to see the @nytimes clarify this.) If this is the case, then (i) To OpenAI's credit, they seem to have already updated their software to make this much less likely, and (ii) This is also a much easier problem to fix than if an LLM were to regurgitate text using only the pre-trained weights, which AFAIK very rarely happens (and which, given its rarity, also raises the question of how much harm to NYT this has actually caused).
To be clear, I believe independent media is important for democracy and must be protected. I also sympathize with media businesses worried about Generative AI disrupting their businesses. But I'm not convinced the NYT lawsuit is the right way to do this.
Usual caveat: I am not a lawyer and am not giving legal advice or any other form of advice here.

Single biggest bankruptcy of 330 billion USD coming up in China.
One single Chinese real estate company - Evergrande had the equivalent of more than $332 billion in liabilities by June, 2023 which included money owed to suppliers, unfinished projects and its bond and loan obligations. It is trying to restructure itself after missing out on bond payments for over a year.
The amounts are larger than GDP or aggregate debt of most countries in the world.
@JM_Scindia respected minister sir - data suggests that flights were full prior to recent bankruptcy event. Now that an airline is down, average prices appear to have surged significantly. #information#alert 🙏🙏
Thank you so much @Swamy39 Sir for your kind words. As Vedanta tells us “Nar me Narayan Dhundo,” getting to Serve the Nation is indeed Serving the Divine. My current role also gives me the opportunity to do my bit. 🙏🏼
@SubramanianKri Heart warming! Incentive is such a powerful tool. The sentiment that powers markets can be the basis for societal upliftment! The #India story needs so many more such stories!
