  • Congo demands that Apple prove iPhone doesn't use conflict materials

    It's probably fairly easily to lie and forge documents so I'm all for 3rd-parties pressing big tech companies to prove what they claim is true. If they aren't true — which could be news to them — then this will ultimately force them to do better.

    I don’t buy the whole concept of “legally and ethically” trained.   

    I learned a lot of things from copyrighted books and movies, etc.  There no such thing as protected concepts, thoughts, ideas, or words.  Even IP is only protected from being “used” illegally and learning and understanding it isn’t “use”.    

    I read a book.  I paid for it.  Maybe that’s the issue.  Patents are protected from being used, not being read or understood.  

    If it’s in the internet and not behind a paywall, it’s fair use to learn from.  

    If I write a book report, is that infringement?   If I am inspired by a work of art and I paint something, is that infringement?   No.  

    Similar to is not the same as “copied”.  Authors and artists are just upset a computer does it and there’s no carve out in law for that… yet.  
    "Training" is just a marketing term. Generative AI programs, like any computer program, require a database in order to work. No data = no output. If copyrighted works are part of the database, then the company that owns the program needs to have paid to license those works. Think of it like a generative video game similar to No Man's Sky. Yes, the program can procedurally generate things but it's still dependent on the database of assets that the game designers built for it to use. 
    They still need training on how to interpret the data properly. It’s like saying that saying that people don’t need to be trained how to read because the dictionary has all the words in it.

    This site should be called applerumors.com or something similar. 

    Here, we get a lot of news containing „may“, „might“ etc. 

    Apple is searching for an excuse here. 
    An excuse for what exactly?

    I’m old enough to remember when Apple was so far behind on the AI race that they built it into their chips for the iPhone and iPad in a previous decade.

    Looks like excuses have already started.
    Ethics are an excuse for what exactly? Being responsible?
