Look, I appreciate what Canada is doing but Cory (@pluralistic a Canadian himself btw) offers a much better way to retaliate:
"What's standing in the way of a Canadian industrial policy that focuses on raiding the sky-high margins of American monopolists with third-party add-ons, mods and jailbreaks?
Only the #IP laws that Canada has agreed to in order to get tariff-free access to American markets. You know, the access that Trump has promised to end..." (cont)

TLDR: Canada should start stealing Intellectual Property from American big business.
The FDA warns that Contec and Epsimed monitors send data to a hardcoded IP and have backdoors for remote code execution.

“The use of copyrighted material in training large language models (LLMs) has sparked legal battles and takedown notices. In the Netherlands, anti-piracy group BREIN takes credit for forcing the popular 'GEITje' LLM offline, which in part was trained on copyrighted texts.”
To clarify, the issue is not the use of copyrighted materials, the issue is the use of copyrighted materials without express authorization by the owner.

#AI #GenerativeAI #AITraining #NYT #Copyright #IP #OpenAI #Journalism #News #Media: "The New York Times sent a cease and desist letter demanding that Jeff Bezos-backed Perplexity stop accessing and using its content in AI summaries and other output. The Wall Street Journal reviewed the document.
The letter argues that Perplexity has been “unjustly enriched” by using the publisher’s “expressive, carefully written and researched, and edited journalism without a license,” which it says violates copyright laws.
This isn’t the paper’s first tangle with AI companies — it’s suing OpenAI for using content without consent to train ChatGPT. Other publishers have also accused Perplexity of unethical web scraping."

Global benefits flow when innovation shared: UN Pact for the Future https://www.qut.edu.au/news?id=196851 I have been doing a few talks this month on our collection on Intellectual Property and Sustainable Development (co-edited by Bita Amani and Caroline B Ncube and published by Edward Elgar Publishing) and its implications for the September Summit of the Future. The final text of the Pact for the Future is intriguing in terms of how it deals with the sharing of the benefits of science, technology, and innovation. #SDGs #IP #innovation #science #research #sustainability #techtransfer

So, let me get this right.
If *I* download stuff from different websites I am 'pirating and stealing from honest people' BUT if I automate that and feed it to an LLM, that counts as...

It was great to discuss intellectual property and the sustainable development goals on a panel with Professors Jessica Lai, Susy Frankel and Christian Schott at the Victoria University of Wellington. It was a good opportunity to explore the many fine contributions contained in the collection, The Elgar Companion to Intellectual Property and the Sustainable Development Goals, which I edited along with Bita Amani and Caroline B Ncube for Edward Elgar Publishing. https://lnkd.in/g--Zpqz4 It was also a useful platform to consider New Zealand's progress towards the realisation of the sustainable development goals. #SDGs #IP #copyright #trademark #patent #sustainability #nzlaw #nzpol

I'd like to open the data behind research on https://www.earth.org.uk/RSS-efficiency.html and internally I am retaining RSS feed fetch logs with the last IPv4 octet hidden, but what is a reasonable level to hide to avoid re-identification (if I remove other obvious User-Agent IDs)? The last two octets? Seeing some of the IP helps decide if a visitor is a repeat, or emerging from a cloud with a randomish IP, etc.
