Comedian and author Sarah Silverman, as well as authors Christopher Golden and Richard Kadrey — are suing OpenAI and Meta each in a US District Court over dual claims of copyright infringement.
The suits alleges, among other things, that OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Meta’s LLaMA were trained on illegally-acquired datasets containing their works, which they say were acquired from “shadow library” websites like Bibliotik, Library Genesis, Z-Library, and others, noting the books are “available in bulk via torrent systems.”
In the OpenAI suit, the trio offers exhibits showing that when prompted, ChatGPT will summarize their books, infringing on their copyrights. Silverman’s Bedwetter is the first book shown being summarized by ChatGPT in the exhibits, while Golden’s book Ararat is also used as an example, as is Kadrey’s book Sandman Slim. The claim says the chatbot never bothered to “reproduce any of the copyright management information Plaintiffs included with their published works.”
As for the separate lawsuit against Meta, it alleges the authors’ books were accessible in datasets Meta used to train its LLaMA models, a quartet of open-source AI Models the company introduced in February.

Halloween Day Five!
Tumblr media
Richard Kadrey's Sandman Slim series - funny, violent, absurd, sexy, and wonderfully heretical - has been my comfort reading for over a decade. Sadly, Jim has killed his last demon but hopefully his brand new as of today novella The Pale House Devil is just the start of a new adventure in supernatural bad behavior.
Just remember, the most banal evil (generational wealth, racism, etc) is always the greatest terror of all.
From the jacket copy :
"Ford and Neuland are paranormal mercenaries—one living, one undead; one of them kills the undead, the other kills the living. When a job goes bad in New York, they head west to wait for the heat to cool down.  There, a young woman named Tilda Rosenbloom hires them on behalf of wealthy landowner, Shepherd Mansfield, to track and kill a demon haunting a mansion in remote northern California.  As Ford and Neuland investigate the creature they uncover a legacy of blood, sacrifice and slavery in the house. Forced to confront a powerful creature unlike anything they’ve faced before, they come to learn that the most frightening monster might not be the one they’re hunting…"
If you are interested in being tagged this month or at any point I post reviews or recommendations please let me know.

When you're born in a burning house, you think the whole world is on fire. But it's not.
Richard Kadrey, Aloha from Hell.
24 notes · View notes
I’ve read somewhere that, “When you're born in a burning house, you think the whole world is on fire. But it's not.”
I think that explains why I love my mother so much but hates her with almost the same intensity.
I think that explains why I can’t open up to my father about anything that burdens me.
I think that is why I envy how my sister easily makes friend.
I think that explains why I don’t talk to my brother.
My world is filled with chaos, screams, and hurtful words.
Little did I know that my world is burning, since I was young. It is filled with flickering ambers of red and sunset.
My world is burning, and I only found out at 26.

Upcoming shows we talk about include: Films that scared the shit out of us as kids, films that truly scare us now, horror films to watch with friends who don't like horror, and our extra special holiday horror episode!
Support this labor of love on Ko-Fi!
