News Microsoft and OpenAI investigate whether DeepSeek illicitly obtained data from ChatGPT

Open Ai want to investigate 'illicitly obtained data" when they are not even open? Oh the irony.

There's an old lawyer's saying: When you can't innovate, litigate.


"The boss of Microsoft has called for a rethink of copyright laws so that tech giants are able to train artificial intelligence models without risk of infringing intellectual property rights."

Apparently obtaining data from others is okay, but someone obtaining data from them is not.

openai: "they might have illegally stolen content of ours"

People: "but didn't you yourself steal as much content as possible to make your product? so whats the difference?"

openai: "...but thats different"


honestly might be a hilarious lawsuit if it would happen as they risk shafting the industry as a whole and i would love nothing more than big corpo to get shafted.
 
Would anyone honestly be surprised if it was found that DeepSeek indeed stole IP? And even if it had, what difference is it going to make? There's been loads of IP theft lawsuits filed in the US against Chinese companies and none of them move anywhere because... well.. it's China and their government doesn't care. For the record, I'm in no part ignoring that companies in the US have done the same thing, but the consequences for getting caught can be significant.

It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out and if it ends up looking like the three finger pointing Spiderman meme or not.

this
classic MSFT tactics , FUD , legal slowdown , etc.
it does not matter if true as long it seeds the doubt and stops the progress of rivals.

Maybe they did, but that's unlikely - data distillation often leads to hallucinations and corruption, when data available on Chinese-enabled websites is much more readily available - and puts them at ease with internal censorship.
They may have pulled OpenAI data for validation purpose, though - to compare their models to OpenAI's directly, that would require a bit more than a couple benchmarks runs...

Sci-fi tells you every thing you need to know about the world, if you pay attention, Firefly ahead its time … called it out we’d all be speaking Chinese soon enough! Joss Whedon also told us cheerleaders with a bad attitude would also be slaying pesky demons! This too shall come to pass … just you wait!
