p.s. The US Department of Homeland Security has pinned a video where the CEO of Bluesky says Trump is welcome on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/homelandgov.bsky.social/post/3m3g7vwkokk2i

This is a genuine clip of the CEO, it's from an interview on Wired and the original source is https://www.wired.com/video/watch/the-big-interview-jay-graber

It is now very clear what Bluesky stands for, they are welcoming fascists and fascism, even when those fascists are kidnapping and murdering people.

A damning new study could put AI companies on the defensive.

In it, Stanford and Yale researchers found compelling evidence that AI models are actually copying all that data,
not “learning” from it.

Specifically, four prominent LLMs
— OpenAI’s GPT-4.1, Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro, xAI’s Grok 3, and Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 Sonnet
— happily reproduced lengthy excerpts from popular
— and protected
— works, with a stunning degree of accuracy.

They found that Claude outputted “entire books near-verbatim” with an accuracy rate of 95.8 percent.

Gemini reproduced the novel “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” with an accuracy of 76.8 percent,

while Claude reproduced George Orwell’s “1984” with a higher than 94 percent accuracy compared to the original
— and still copyrighted
— reference material.

“While many believe that LLMs do not memorize much of their training data, recent work shows that substantial amounts of copyrighted text can be extracted from open-weight models,”
the researchers wrote.

Some of these reproductions required the researchers to jailbreak the models with a technique called "Best-of-N",
which essentially bombards the AI with different iterations of the same prompt.

(Those kinds of workarounds have already been used by OpenAI to defend itself in a lawsuit filed by the New York Times,
with its lawyers arguing that “normal people do not use OpenAI’s products in this way.”)

The implications of the latest findings could be substantial
as copyright lawsuits play out in courts across the country.

As The Atlantic‘s Alex Reisner points out,
the results further undermine the AI industry’s argument that LLMs “learn” from these texts
-- instead of storing information and recalling it later.

It’s evidence that “may be a massive legal liability for AI companies”
and “potentially cost the industry billions of dollars in copyright-infringement judgments

Generative AI models, with reasonable human prompting, have been producing results that humans have and would consider copyright infringing, if humans had produced those or similar results. Since the prompts themselves do not appear to be copyright infringing in any way, I think we'd have to conclude that the operation of the models is in violation.

And even if the work is not a "copy," it's designed to compete with the original authors -- a violation in itself.

@AeonCypher➴➴➴Æ🜔Ɲ.Ƈꭚ⍴𝔥єɼ👩🏻‍💻 @cdarwinChuck Darwin Solving it would make the systems worthless to a large portion of their market. The whole point is laundering plagiarism behind plausible deniability and intentional obfuscation.

Today in Labor History January 18, 1943: The start of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. In the summer of 1942, over a quarter million Jews were deported from the ghetto to Treblinka and murdered. In response, the remaining Jews began building bunkers and smuggling weapons and explosives into the ghetto. On January 18, 1943, when the Nazis began their second deportation of the Jews, the armed insurgency began. They fought with whatever they could smuggle into the ghetto: handguns, gasoline bottles and a few other weapons. They inflicted enough casualties on the Nazis that the deportation was halted within a few days. Only 5,000 Jews were removed, instead of the 8,000 planned. They knew from the start that the uprising was doomed. Most of the Jewish fighters did not expect to survive. Rather, they saw their resistance as a battle for their honor and a protest against the world's silence. Marek Edelman, one of the few survivors, said their inspiration to fight was "not to allow the Germans alone to pick the time and place of our deaths."

Abusers always try to test how far they can push the line, how far they can push you without consequences.

Billionaires, tech bros, and politicians you know well but that I will not name are the same.

Trying to "appease" or "ignore" them never works.

Anyone who has dealt with abusers before knows this. The only thing that does work is stating and enforcing strong boundaries firmly right from the start.

Right now, absolutely nobody is doing this with them. And so, the abuse will only escalate.

Appeasement didn't work with Hitler.

Appeasement didn't work with Putin.

Appeasement isn't working with Trump.
