    This isn’t a copyright thing. This is a tech regulation thing, that creates the possibility for data protection agencies to stick their noses in AI company’s business.

      General purpose” mostly means LLMs. Companies have a year to write documentation and promise to follow copyright.

      Says it right there

          I love how the time factor is always ignored when tech companies eventually comply with regulation or just do the right thing. “at least they did it” isn’t an argument, it’s a consolation.

          It took airbnb over a year(!) to show all the fees up front on the search results page instead of waiting to show them on the checkout page. That’s over a year after their asshat CEO announced on twitter that they would be doing it (to quell the social media uproar about how deceptive it was)

          Next time Lars Ulrich sues you you’ll be able to say you needed the Some Kind of Monster mp3s for AI research. It’s foolproof.

        This quote got me rent free. If I break a law I don’t like for a couple of years, do I also get another year to “promise” to stop breaking it in the future?
