One of my biggest concerns with AI is that these companies are developing products using materials that are copyrighted or owned by someone without compensation that individual or entity. The idea of “Fair Use” as cover for stealing content from creative people is extremely distasteful in my book.

I’d love to use and support any AI company that’s trying to do the right thing by respecting creative people and content creators. I’d love to think that Apple would do that to avoid being lumped in with creepy companies like Meta and Google.

Do we know if Apple is training its LLM on copyrighted materials or any materials that are considered creative property of someone?

It’s been said more eloquently before, but AI is looking like the greatest theft in history. People deserve to be compensated for their creative efforts, whether it’s your writing on a blog or an artistic rendering that you post online (besides those where you mark the material as Free Use).

NEW: iPhone Duo screen-cracking issue is real. Apple hasn’t given stores or customer service representatives guidance but the company is investigating. Several people have sent me images and stories of their new $2000 device breaking within hours. -- post has a link to a Bloomberg article

Apple Responds: “We are aware of an issue impacting the inner display on a small number of iPhone Duo units. If users experience issues with their iPhone Duo display, they should contact AppleCare for a replacement.”

More from Apple: Impacts a very small number of units and most iPhone Duo units are not susceptible to this inner display issue. Impacted devices appear to have the defects rather quickly after usage.
