    If they are training the AI with copyrighted data that they aren’t paying for, then yes, they are doing the same thing as traditional media piracy. While I think piracy laws have been grossly blown out of proportion by entities such as the RIAA and MPAA, these AI companies shouldn’t get a pass for doing what Joe Schmoe would get fined thousands of dollars for on a smaller scale.




  • This is mostly correct, but another point to consider (once OP becomes more familiar with the basics) is the concept of defederation. Basically, not all instances permit interactions with each other. Many smaller instances have defederated from lemmy.world, for example. That means that users on those instances can not directly interact with communities hosted on lemmy.world, although you could still encounter users from that instance in a post on a community in a different instance that is federated with both.

    If the instance you are currently on has defederated from another one that you would like to browse, you will need to create a new user account on that instance (or one that hasn’t defederated from it).
