The Implications of Oracle v. Rimini for Generative AI - Disruptive Competition Project

Just a great time for all the liberal justices to be spelling out how deferential we should be to legislative and executive branch assessments of "national security" interests even if they result in huge speech suppression.

Never, ever let anyone tell you that there is no "moderator's dilemma" in the U.S. because of Section 230.
Not when it took Vimeo SIXTEEN YEARS of litigation to defeat claims that ordinary content moderation created "knowledge" or "control," hence forfeiting the DMCA safe harbor for copyright.

I’ve been focusing on this issue for nearly 20 years. Trade secret law is blind to the public’s interest in info, and that’s a problem. If the reporter had contacted me, I’d have focused him on that simple fact. It makes trade secret law the most powerful IP law for preventing info access.
They spoke out against their employer. Then trade secrets law was used against them.
Companies have hit whistleblowers with trade secrets suits over actions like saving code to GitHub or printing documents for remote work.

GenAI has many uses, and it is fair use to train on copyrighted material (just to be clear), but don't use it to be lazy and shirk your creative responsibilities.
Libraries. We need to set an example by refuting generative AI. It cannibalizes the work of others! We respect appropriate copyrights and we champion writers, without whom we’d have no books, and books ARE our brand. Come on now.
Libraries as they try and embrace gen AI

If you try to use #ChatGPT, EVEN the "SearchGPT" function, with #Boolean keywords, you will utterly fail. It is a whole different type of searching the web (and again, you ONLY do that with " #SearchGPT," NOT regular ChatGPT). #onlineliteracy #infolit

@popservatory.bsky.social @bringthehuman.bsky.social one of my favourite episodes of Frasier, probably fully available on YouTube for free now, is the one with the late night library swatting before Niles + Frasier meet the @nobelprize.bsky.social winners.

On remand, the district court in the Bad Spaniels dog toy case holds that the toy is a parody that doesn't confuse consumers, but DOES tarnish the Jack Daniel's mark by associating it with poop. This is an unfortunate consequence of the Supreme Court ruling allowing the dilution claim to survive

Is Moore's law of copyright and generative AI that the number of AI copyright suits doubles every 18 months? 😀
