Meta has stolen an entire library to train its AI. The SoA are protesting the ransacking of writers work- petition below

Whatever your feelings on LibGen, most of us can agree that β€˜scraping the lot for free to boost the profits of a $1.48tn company’ is a battering ram to the testicles of fair use.

Protect authors’ livelihoods from the unlicensed use of their work in AI training Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?

Please sign and share. This is for authors, but really it's for all creatives whose work is being fed into AI without copyright, in order for tiny pieces of our work to be broken apart and mashed together, then regurgitate, for others to use.
