Children in libraries are learning to read using books without consent from the authors

Children don’t make millions by selling copies of all the books they skimmed.

Most children don’t (sick burn against the Grimm Brothers). I mean, fuck Apple and all of these companies, but they’re hoovering data from a publicly available resource using totally legal means.

I know I’m snowballing here, but overreacting to this headline could end up supporting those who argue that web crawlers, plane-tracking bots, and the completely legal actions of Aaron Swartz that the Feds tried using to crucify him.

Once again, fuck Apple, but the real villain in this scenario is either Google for allowing companies to train their AI models on their content, or the content creators who are still using YouTube.

Since I can’t fault anyone who is trying to make a living by exploring Google, then I guess I’ll just add “fuck Google” to the pile.

As long as AI also watched ads it’s a fair game.

Great. Not looking forward to when the AIs try to convince me there are loads of lonely hot singles in my area.
