The only reason for them to implement opt-out is by legal order and subsequent confirmation by the supreme court or country equivalent. There is no other reason to do it.
Definitely a case for the Futurama "I'm shocked" meme. OpenAI has a lot of talented people that work there but it's clear @sama only cares about chasing the biggest possible payday and nothing else means anything.
I'd love to hear HN's suggestions on keeping IP <i>out</i> of these LLMs where possible. For context I'm a writer. Nothing I write gets published online and I don't need to submit to, say, Amazon/Kindle to make money. However, much of my work is passed around by executives via email, for example. Ideas?
Probably because if this is created, most IP owners would mass opt out. To prevent that, you have to make the process difficult to do, hidden, or framed in an extremely careful way.
