The lawsuit claims that Apple "improperly circumvented" YouTube's platform protections to scrape videos.

    If scrapping YouTube is against the law, that just means Google owns all video generation as well as anything to do with speech for the most part. Whisper was built mainly on YouTube vids.

    I’m sure the regular people being stolen from will definitely win against the gigantic multi-trillion dollar company this time. 🫩

    Sorry for the negativity. We’ve seen this play out so many times. Courts keep ruling that it’s okay when the companies do it to us peasants, but it’s life-ruining if a peasant does it to a company.

      The lawsuit is about this research paper by apple engineers where they say they used the Panda 70M training set. It is a collection of publicly sourced video content and the plaintiffs claim their content is in it.

      I looked and it’s probably this which is based on OpenAI

          The remote models are but the on-device ones were trained by apple

      Of course they do. Apple Intelligence.

      But even more broadly you can assume Apple is working on it if:

      1. It is in any way tech-related.
      2. It has the possibility of marketing existing technology as “magical” and easy to use.

      Don’t know if they do LLMs but they’ve had machine learning features for years. They added the ability to extract subjects from images and turning them into stickers back in 2023.

    Training the AI that Apple supposedly doesn’t have? Which is it?

      Your comment is very confusing.

      Nobody said Apple doesn’t have AI/LLM tech, it’s just on-device instead of on-server (which is why it’s not very good…)

      It still needs to be trained on massive amounts of data… otherwise it wouldn’t be Large or a Model.

        Doesn’t matter if on device or not you still need massive computing power and data to train it.
