Ex-Meta Researcher Deleted Pirated Book Dataset Over Litigation
Original: Ex-Meta Researcher Torrented Pirated Books, Deleted It 'Due to Litigation'
A former Meta researcher admitted torrenting a dataset of pirated books and later deleting it, citing 'all this litigation' surrounding the company's AI training practices. The disclosure adds to ongoing copyright lawsuits accusing Meta of using pirated books to train its AI models without permission. Commenters are debating the legal and ethical implications of building large language models on pirated material.
Why now: It feeds directly into the high-profile copyright lawsuits over Meta's use of pirated books for AI training.
