OpenAI breach, Nvidia’s open push, and AI bubble fears

• ISBNdb facilitates bulk orders of up to one million books and markets non-disclosure agreements as a standard feature to avoid negative publicity.
• Pre-2022 publications command premium prices in this market because they are considered free of AI-generated text.
• Court documents reveal the initiative is codenamed Project Panama, with tens of millions of dollars allocated to a planning document that explicitly aimed to destructively scan every book worldwide.

I've limited sympathy for the publishers.

It pisses me off to reflect that they can sit on works until copyright expires, keeping them out of print. There's no real need for any of these so-called rare books to be rare while they're under copyright.

And related to this, the books that are in print are mostly only in print in the shittiest way. I often see well-made books from the 17th or 18th centuries which are still in good nick. It's ridiculous that in the 21st century, publication standards have fallen to the point where for most works a disposable format is the only type available - where no amount of money could buy a truly decent hardback copy with signatures, good paper and decent print - something that will still be readable in several generations' time - any other publisher keen to have a crack at it should be able to, again without any compensation for the original publisher, though perhaps in this case, with matching royalties for the author.

The publishers sued AI companies for training on shadow library data, hoping to negotiate content deals for big $$$ down the line. Instead, they got analog hole'd.

Turns out that buying an old book for $5 and destructively scanning it for $25 is way cheaper than paying extortion fees to the copyright-mongers.

What I don't buy is it being "rare, precious books". First, they're not after ancient texts - they're after the books that there's still copyright on. Second, when it comes to books, "old" doesn't mean "valuable" - plenty of libraries destroy old books because there's no demand for them, and storage costs you. This is how those scanning companies get books for so cheap.

We reprint old books after checking out copyrights (for all books, this means pre-1930, but for some (I'd actually say most) it also means ones published up to 1964 and 1973, depending on how the rightsholders did (or didn't) do the renewals).

We use a special guillotine type cutter to cut off the binding and then store the pages in a sealed plastic bag which goes in the archives; they're stored there indefinitely in case the book needs rescanned for some reason. We also keep the original, uncompressed copies of the books on magnetic disks.

We also go out of our way to try to find rare books published in 1931, 1932, etc. so they are ready to go once the copyright expires.

And no, no AI company has ever come to us and asked to run training on all of our scanned copies.

So they're not valuable... except to AI companies. They should pay a fair amount.

ACCount37 (5 replies)

Scanning books by taking them apart into singular pages and scanning those pages is faster and cheaper. AI training is a numbers game, so they want faster and cheaper.

What happens to the pages after? No one needs them anymore, so they get mulched and recycled.

That would be the dominant scanning method even if copyright wasn't a thing. But then again - if copyright wasn't a thing, there would be much less need to scan any physical media.

The reason why OpenAI can't just go on Amazon, buy a "digital edition" of a 2018 book and use that is that it would violate the license in ten ways, and then the DMCA laws that forbid breaking DRM on top of it.

Lots of pitchforks in these comments.

If you had read that the EFF was meeting with lawmakers in the US to convince them that there was no secure way to allow the government to break e2e encryption, or had read that academics were banding together to ask the government not to make open weight LLMs illegal, what would your reaction be? What if told you that those organizations had actually paid a consultant to help them navigate getting appointments with the lawmakers?

Lobbying can be bribery, and that's bad. Paying a professional to talk to lawmakers about something that is in your best interest is definitely less bad.

The alternative that many people claim to want (no lobbying or money in politics legally) is a lot closer to what is happening in more authoritarian regimes. If there is no way to legally speak your mind or pay someone to do so, political purity and perfect congressional understanding of nuanced topics doesn't magically appear.

Aunche (5 replies)

Lobbying expenditures are given to lobbyists not politicians. You're primarily paying for the salary of some humanities or social science majors and their travel expenses, which isn't that much money.

This should be a basic fact. If those who spend a good portion of time being angry at lobbyists yet intelligent enough to make mid-six figures conflate bribery with lobbying, it should be no surprise the corporations have captured the government. The general public has essentially zero civic understanding while corporations are able to hire the few that do.

rayiner (3 replies)

It seems like the empirical fact that lobbying is cheap is at odds with your apparent assumptions about the value companies gain from lobbying. Does that fact make you rethink your notion of what lobbying actually entails?

Lobbying is cheap because it's just making powerpoint presentations to Congressional staffers. It's helping them identify where the pre-existing political fault lines are and arming them with ammo for fights that will play out according to existing ideological positions. "K Street lobbyists" don't even bill at the rates you see for corporate lawyers. $3 million per six months is what a company like Anthropic might burn in a single B2B lawsuit.

This is quite a short sighted analysis. I do think the valuations are quite and they would need to meet the reality, but don't think there's gonna be a crash or we'd ever go back to pre-AI era. It would more or less would be a correction to valuations.

The future of AI would be on-device models which are as powerful as current frontier models and also I can imagine companies have their own deployments of inference of open weighted models for most of the use cases and use the frontier models for extremely niche or higher intelligence tasks.

As an example I use Claude code heavily for every day development and Opus 4.8 was already good enough for my use cases and never used Fable. Also note that I use AI as a tool to help with my work and I do not offload everything I have to do to AI in a single prompt

Apple looks better and better as every day passes. Other players going deeply into debt to build out massive infrastructure, VCs pumping up the model ecosystem that is now a total commodity.

Apple's just been sitting there with solid cashflow waiting for all this to implode and then have on-device models with their own chips.

Apple will own the end device while the rest of the world is fighting over a pure commodity. It will burn hard and Apple will laugh all the way to the bank.

I would say any AI generated output, from a student who didnt notice Madagascar in their prompt, would have been extremely easy to detect based on basic llmisms anyway. But I suppose it's much easier to just search for "Madagascar".

Also, the professor should see the history of the student writing in the document editor.

I write everything using AI and nobody has detected it because I know how to remove llmisms and prompt effectively.

thewebguyd (2 replies)

Right. The risk isn't accounting fraud, its the equity-to-debt loop that relies on all these companies making "enough money to pay it back someday."

Nvidia invests, that equity check gets used to secure 10x it in debt with the GPUs as collateral, and then they buy the chips.

Nvidia gets paid, so they don't hold the debt liability. But, if AI revenue doesn't cover those debt payments before the GPUs depreciate, the loop starts to unravel, and fast. CoreWeave, Oracle, all the "neoclouds" etc. will blow up, and there could potentially be a ton of PE debt that is now under-collateralized due to depreciation, causing a pretty big haircut to basically all of private credit.

It's come to a point (or has it passed it) that these numbers are completely meaningless. One hundred billion here, $750B there, $1.2T over a year or so, toss in $300B for a few hyperscalers there. There's no imaginable scenario where these are actually backed up with real profit to where the investments make sense. Just passing the same hundred dollar bill among everyone and all booking it as revenue. I can't wait until it pops.

I've noticed something else - as Anthropic models get even more and more superhuman, they seem to serve me more and more casual nonsense.

Not like adding glue to pizza. Here's an example from today (paraphrasing): "you need to run git merge-base branch1 branch2. Pay attention to the order of arguments, it is important: git merge-base is symmetric and returns the same value regardless of the order of inputs".

So which one is it? Symmetric or not? It's not even one of those where it self-corrects, it just happily contradicts itself halfway through the sentence.

My pet theory is that these frontier models do quite a bit of brute force at the end - some kind of beam search - and silently downgrade you depending on demand or compute availability.

This feels like Nvidia's strategy doesn't really care about the few companies they invested to pushing frontier AI, but about scaling up the amount of GPUs/datacenters needed; open models forcing more GPU purchases would drive that faster than 2 frontier labs ever could. It's likely also attractive to anyone running a GPU rental business like AWS, Azure etc. who can offer more models.

I keep posting this but it keeps being relevant. I had an agent implement a feature completely backwards. It wrote a whole bunch of tests proving the correctness of the implementation. All the tests passed.

The really interesting thing to me is that formal verification wouldn't have helped there either -- it would have just written a mathematical proof of the correctness of the backwards feature.

Kon5ole (1 reply)

My current strategy is to not read any of the code written by my agents. That's the only way I can take advantage of their productivity.

When you start getting good results from agents you soon realize you are the bottleneck.

Automating the verification of the code is the way to go, otherwise it's just not worth it. It takes longer to read and understand code than to write code, so why bother with agents if you are going to manually review it all anyway?

One thing I miss after ditching Copilot (it got too expensive) was how I could trivially ask for features to be written by one model and verified by another. Have Opus write it and GPT or Gemini verify it.

I figured they were entirely separate models and therefore unlikely to hallucinate in the same way, so it gave me a quick sense of confidence.

Currently I use claude code (different models but all variants of the same) so I have them do planning, review of the plan, implementation, review of the implementation, and unit tests. It's fine, but copilot felt easier.

Yep happened to me in pretty much the same way. Helped me with getting rebooked and write the claim and the airline paid up no questions asked, for a nice airport Sheraton, dinner and EU compensation of 600 euros.

u/FruitOfTheVineFruit (93 points · permalink)

I've compared paid to free and paid is much much much more accurate, especially on Thinking Mode High. I've used it for all sorts of travel stuff - the best was when I had it go through my email to check details for a trip and it noticed that my flight time had changed but I had forgotten to rebook the rental car for the new time.

u/laterbreh (54 points · permalink)

This was my complaint in another thread -- seems like the strategy for open weight is make em so big no one can run them, and then we run them and rake in cash via api -- While they deserve to make a profit they should still honor the thing that made them popular, release capable small models for the little guy and small/medium sized business that want their own or on-site.

At a certain point does it matter if its open if its cost prohibitive for any business or user to run them? Would love to see qwen 3.8 do another string of variant releases exactly as your title says. They were fantastic across the board. The retrains on those models like Nex N2 were also phenomenal.

u/Wistful_Ail (39 points · permalink)

I think the sweet spot for open models is still somewhere in the 30B–120B range. Those are the models that hobbyists, researchers, and small teams can actually experiment with on real hardware.

The trillion-parameter releases are exciting from a research perspective, but they don't do much for the local community if almost nobody can run them. Smaller, highly optimized models also tend to drive more experimentation because people can actually fine-tune, benchmark, and build applications around them.

StackOverflow killed themselves by being an elitist group of co**suckers masquerading as encyclopedists. Even in the age of AI, if the there was a site that connected people to the most knowledgeable people in computer science, software engineering, systems engineering, etc.,, then there would be a place for a site like StackOverflow.

StackOverflow has not been about connection or providing information for a long time. They let themselves to be vulnerable to anyone who scraped their shit - they didn't provide much more than a site of badly organized answers at the end.
