Meta's Massive AI Training Book Heist: What Authors Need to Know - The Authors Guild
Today, The Atlantic published a search tool that allows authors to check if their works are in LibGen, an illegal pirate site AI companies copied for their AI systems. This is a similar tool to the one that journalist Alex […]The Authors Guild
If you thought Mark Zuckerberg is asshole, you should read "Careless People" by Sarah Wynn-Williams.
The whole Facebook/Meta monstrosity is a evil dumpster fire. For fuck sake, all corporation stereotypes are alive and amplified in this one.
They make me sick to my stomach.

It turns out Zuckerberg and Meta have used all my books to train their AI. So I wrote this, to show that there are no hard feelings.

An article for Meta to use to train their AI
The LibGen database was used to train Meta's AI. And it turns out, all of my books were part of it. But if Meta wanted some of my work to train their AI, all they had to do was ask.Dean Burnett (The Neuroscience of Everyday Life)
"The new feature would likely be an unwelcome one for users who would rather keep comments AI-free on Instagram, especially those who believe their friends deserve genuine comments as opposed to AI slop."

Seven of the #RPG books I worked on were pirated by #Meta to train their #AI #Bullshit
Regardless as to my feelings on copyright, the IP owner did not consent to their inclusion in the dataset.
Meta's use is fundamentally immoral to the point that my own works will have an exclusion to their existing permissive licences to say "Fuck you and your idiot autocorrect"

Probably because sociopaths have the emotional maturity of a child. On #Meta executives:
"working there was "like watching a bunch of fourteen-year-olds who’ve been given superpowers and an ungodly amount of money, as they jet around the world to figure out what power has bought and brought them."
Update no. 2:
Yesterday my 4-year-old woke up at 7am thus thwarting my plans to read #CarelessPeople for a good hour.
So today I woke up at 6am to resume reading the book. It’s THAT GOOD.
The leaders at #Meta have been shockingly irresponsible in their decisions since the early days. All they care about? Gathering data and influence and making big bucks. I’m so glad I got out of all their platforms and I’m on the #Fediverse instead.
History books won’t be kind to Zuck, Sandberg et al.
There is an interview with the author on The News Agents. Curiously the viewing figures seem quite low for a rare interview given #Meta blocking promoting the book.
An update: last night I started reading #CarelessPeople and I cannot emphasize enough HOW GOOD it is. A real page-turner.
No wonder #Meta executives are trying to shut down its promotional tour. They come across as shallow, greedy and irresponsible.
The author wrote in the prelude that working there was "like watching a bunch of fourteen-year-olds who’ve been given superpowers and an ungodly amount of money, as they jet around the world to figure out what power has bought and brought them." 🔥
#Meta being meta, I guess: "Sure, this eurotrash 'fediverse' thing is available to everyone else but to EU users. That'll teach them." Stuff it, zuck.
