Did this leak happen before or after NYT published an investigation detailing how Israeli forces were raping and torturing defenseless Palestinian detainees brought in from the Gaza Strip?

Now everyone will get to run Wordle!

In case anyone missed the hubbub: [ETA: This is from March 2024; unconnected to this hack/leak]

The Times has filed several Digital Millennium Copyright Act, or DMCA, takedown notices to developers of Wordle-inspired games, which cited infringement on the Times’ ownership of the Wordle name, as well as its look and feel — such as the layout and color scheme of green, gray and yellow tiles.

Numerous impacted developers have also taken to social media to share their frustrations. Many said that their games, which range from Wordle-like offerings in other languages to more guessing games, would be taken down as a result.

Still, Brauneis said he believes the Times’ arguments for Wordle copyright infringement are on “a little bit shaky ground” for several reasons. Rules of a game, for example, are not covered by copyright — and that can include the layout of the game itself, he said.

Thats a lot of data but surly its not all their articles cos I'd very much like to train mixtral7x8b on it along with 4chan data and shir from the dark web. Surly there is a project where such a model is public and being trained on literally everything regardless of legality.

EDIT: why am i getting downvoted?

reddithalation ,

you're getting downvoted because LLMs are simply not very good, they consume lots of energy (bad for climate), and seemingly most people involved in ai hype want to replace human creativity or something.

how about instead of training a not very trustworthy or useful LLM on lots of nyt, 4chan, and "dark web", you go read lots of nyt, 4chan, and dark web to train your own (much better) model (your brain).

I have not read the news in a really long time just cause paywalls are annoying as frick.

Consider paying for the news...?

I'd only do that if you want independent news.

He probably means one of these (or both):

  1. New York Times is a huge corporation. The commenter would only support a site which is run by one creator, or with a genuine small team, which is transparent and not an asshole.

  2. New York Times is biased politically or accepting bribery attempts from other corpos to make them look in a better light.

Serinus ,

Jesus Christ, no. It's almost like you're trying to sow distrust in the news and facts.

The NYT isn't perfect, but it's some of the most reliable news the world has.

As of March 2023, The New York Times Company employs 5,800 individuals,[101] including 1,700 journalists according to deputy managing editor Sam Dolnick.[122] Journalists for The New York Times may not run for public office, provide financial support to political candidates or causes, endorse candidates, or demonstrate public support for causes or movements.[123] Journalists are subject to the guidelines established in "Ethical Journalism" and "Guidelines on Integrity".[124] According to the former, Times journalists must abstain from using sources with a personal relationship to them and must not accept reimbursements or inducements from individuals who may be written about in The New York Times, with exceptions for gifts of nominal value.[125] The latter requires attribution and exact quotations, though exceptions are made for linguistic anomalies. Staff writers are expected to ensure the veracity of all written claims, but may delegate researching obscure facts to the research desk.[126] In March 2021, the Times established a committee to avoid journalistic conflicts of interest with work written for The New York Times, following columnist David Brooks's resignation from the Aspen Institute for his undisclosed work on the initiative Weave.[127]

The New York Crimes is a garbage propaganda rag. They don't deserve a red cent from anyone after pushing their transphobic agenda, (and responding to widespread criticism by publishing an article defending JK Rowling) or after they blatantly lied and published a fake news story about Hamas conducting mass rape in an attempt to sway public opinion to be in favor of Israel's genocide. If you have a NYT subscription, you are paying people to lie to you.

@PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz avatar

Well it definitely seemed like that. Sorry I was just assuming, since most Lemmy people are really anti-establishment on everything basically.

Serinus ,

Well, if you didn't get it from me, you certainly would have gotten it from some of these responses.

I expect that paywall to be fully useless soon.

Dark_Arc ,
@Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg avatar

That's a really silly take ... a Paywall is just an authorization mechanism.

That's like saying the source code of lemmy leaks and you expect your account to be compromised any second.

example ,

I can sell you a copy of lemmys source code, are you interested?

I can give you 25 schmeckles.

lurch ,

reminds me of the time someone said "Who is this 4chan?" on tv and it became a meme. good times

autonomoususer ,

We still have no legal right to use, change and share its source code, control it both ourselves and in groups. It's still anti-libre software.

Anything that may help develop better adblockers/paywall bypasses or exposes how/what of our personal information is collected is a win in my book. And this may very well be none of those things.

0xD ,

Right, because fuck paying for proper journalism. Everything must be free!

Remind me again, how does that work?

noisefree ,

The inverse of this is where subscription services that previously had no ads for paying subscribers then add in ads on paid plans while also increasing the fees associated. It's a pretty standard practice, NYT included. Adblocking is necessary.

RagingHungryPanda ,

It's mostly node modules

SpaceNoodle ,

I hate Web 3.0

CaptainSpaceman ,

Node has been around longer than web3

NPM nightmares intensify

floquant ,

Web 3.0 ≠ web3

azl ,

As someone who has read these terms in passing but is unfamiliar with them: What the fuck?

floquant ,

Yeah, I'm with you. web3 is the cryptobro blockchain web, while Web 3.0 usually refers to either RFC-based standards or "the state of the modern web" - the post 2.0 era

CaptainSpaceman ,

Http3 != web3.0

Web3 everywhere ive looked is strictly for blockchain approach to web

Im happy to be wrong, but my search yielded nothing to support your position. Do you have a resource handy?

floquant ,

HTTP/3 is yet another thing, unrelated to both of them.
Wikipedia has a disambiguation page for the two meanings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_3.0

"send nodes"

General_Effort ,

270GB of mostly node modules?

SpaceNoodle ,

You're right, it would be bigger if it was node
