Meta pirated and seeded porn for years to train AI, lawsuit says

Lawsuit: Meta may have seeded porn to minors while hiding piracy for AI training.

Sounds like meta’s judge will have to invent a grand unified theory of fair use to excuse this.

I kept saying about various lawsuits that the important thing is discovery. Nobody knew all the idiotic shit these folks were doing, so nobody could sue them properly.

    Isn’t it part of the lawsuit that one of the developers literally said that downloading torrents on a corporate machine feels wrong?

    That they routinely use bittorrent protocol for data only makes it more willful, since they know how it works while your average Joe may not understand that he is distributing anything.
