If you are a writer/academic, Meta very likely pirated your work to build its AI model. Use the search in the article to find out if Zuck has been stealing from you too...
NEW: LibGen contains millions of pirated books and research papers, built over nearly two decades. From court documents, we know that Meta torrented a version of it to build its AI. Today, @theatlantic.com presents an analysis of the data set by @alexreisner.bsky.social. Search through it yourself:
