Finally, how do you feel about the position taken in this note? It refers to the Imagenet dataset, which, like Laion, was distributed publicly only as a list of IDs (but was available as images to researchers on request).

Legal implications of curated image datasets in AI training

And how about the "aesthetic" subsets? Are they likely to be treated differently because they're curated? (And they would have required accessing the image itself to do that curation.)

Google vs LAION: Legal Differences in Image Storage Liability
By

I'd love to better understand how Google, for instance, seems to be able to store and provide public links to images — but perhaps Laion can't? Are there some key differences that impact liability/legality?

Copyright implications of URL-based AI training datasets

very interesting- thanks for sharing! One thing not mentioned in the post that I'm curious about is that datasets like laion-5b don't actually contain copyrighted data directly, but are just lists of URLs. How does that impact potential claims, if at all?

I'm referring to "Just because you are open source doesn't in my view support this lack of interest in doing the right thing".

Fine-tuning vs Full Training: Storage and Efficiency Trade-offs

Yeah we used to do that in earlier versions of the http://
fast.ai course, although it can eat up an awful lot of disk space pretty quick, so I don't bother any more! Fine-tuning the last few layers is generally fast enough anyway. -
Open Source Dataset Policies: Fair Treatment Concerns

Yeah you're probably right. (I hope they're making similar public statements about non open source use of that dataset too, and not just singling out the open source community.)

Hugging Face Dataset Removal Request Script Issues Clarified
By
–
So IIUC this thread has authors telling HF to remove a dataset which they don't actually host, but they provide a script that doesn't actually work, and they're asking HF to resolve that problem? I don't understand what problem needs to be addressed, or how.

HuggingFace Books3 Dataset Creation and Responsibility
By

It's a stretch to say HF created and maintained the books3 dataset. All they did was provide a script to allow others to download the dataset from a 3rd party server.

Julia Package Manager Similarities with Conda Compared

Actually Julia's pkg manager is nearly identical to conda. They both do this.
