    The complaint lays out in steps why the plaintiffs believe the datasets have illicit origins — in a Meta paper detailing LLaMA, the company points to sources for its training datasets, one of which is called ThePile, which was assembled by a company called EleutherAI. ThePile, the complaint points out, was described in an EleutherAI paper as being put together from “a copy of the contents of the Bibliotik private tracker.” Bibliotik and the other “shadow libraries” listed, says the lawsuit, are “flagrantly illegal.”

      if meta used an illegal source (which is extremely stupid, like using drug money to open a bank) it does not mean google or openai did the same

      the meta model is not public, probably for that reason, they just trained it with dirty data for research just to see the feasibility

      for fun, i searched the most obscure and niche recent book that i could think: 9791280546517 “Vado e tornerò da voi. Riflessioni sulla Pasqua e sulla Pentecoste”. It’s so niche that’s impossible to find a pirated or even a legit ebook copy. Even if it was published a few months ago, bing AI was able to produce an excerpt and even a short review.

        Meta’s LLaMA model actually is publicly available; they released it widely to anyone with a .edu email address and of course it soon ended up on bittorrent. Here is the 🧲 link (which you can also hilariously still find in this pull request, despite the DMCA takedowns they’ve sent elsewhere about it).
