Comment on Spotify vs. Anna's Archive
chobeat@lemmy.ml 2 days agoIt took me a second to realize this was a joke. There are people who seriously believe Anna’s Archive is funded/supported by big tech to concentrate copyrighted material to be used for AI training.

Where’d that come from? I had no idea.

because Facebook trained an LLM on Libgen data. I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised if at some point some big tech considered to at least fund some of these projects through side-channels, because nowadays open source and liberation of information means free lunches for American big tech, but that’s very different from Anna’s archive being a psyop to externalize content theft.
