An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: Some of the most infamous so-called shadow libraries have increasingly faced legal pressure to either stop pirating books or risk being shut down or driven to the dark web. Among the biggest targets are Z-Library, which the US Department of Justice has charged with criminal copyright infringement, and Library Genesis (Libgen), which was sued by textbook publishers last fall for allegedly distributing digital copies of copyrighted works "on a massive scale in willful violation" of copyright laws. But now these shadow libraries and others accused of spurning copyrights have seemingly found an unlikely defender in Nvidia, the AI chipmaker among those profiting most from the recent AI boom. Nvidia seemed to defend the shadow libraries as a valid source of information online when responding to a lawsuit from book authors over the list of data repositories that were scraped to create the Books3 dataset used to train Nvidia's AI platform NeMo. That list includes some of the most "notorious" shadow libraries -- Bibliotik, Z-Library (Z-Lib), Libgen, Sci-Hub, and Anna's Archive, authors argued. However, Nvidia hopes to invalidate authors' copyright claims partly by denying that any of these controversial websites should even be considered shadow libraries. "Nvidia denies the characterization of the listed data repositories as 'shadow libraries' and denies that hosting data in or distributing data from the data repositories necessarily violates the US Copyright Act," Nvidia's court filing said. The chipmaker did not go into further detail to define what counts as a shadow library or what potentially absolves these controversial sites from key copyright concerns raised by various ongoing lawsuits. Instead, Nvidia kept its response brief while also curtly disputing authors' petition for class-action status and defending its AI training methods as fair use. "Nvidia denies that it has improperly used or copied the alleged works," the court filing said, arguing that "training is a highly transformative process that may include adjusting numerical parameters including 'weights,' and that outputs of an LLM may be based, at least in part, on such 'weights.'" "Nvidia's argument likely depends on the court agreeing that AI models ingesting published works in order to transform those works into weights governing AI outputs is fair use," notes Ars. "However, authors have argued that 'these weights are entirely and uniquely derived from the protected expression in the training dataset' that has been copied without getting authors' consent or providing authors with compensation." "Authors suing Nvidia have taken the next step, linking the chipmaker to shadow libraries by arguing that 'these shadow libraries have long been of interest to the AI-training community because they host and distribute vast quantities of unlicensed copyrighted material. For that reason, these shadow libraries also violate the US Copyright Act.'"

Avec Time’s Up! Harry Potter, immergez-vous dans le monde du célèbre sorcier et faites deviner personnages, sorts, créatures et tant d'autres mots issus du monde de Harry Potter ! Time’s Up!

Harry Potter est un jeu d’ambiance en trois manches, où des équipes s’affrontent pour gagner le plus de cartes possible.


Time's Up Harry Potter - Comment ça marche

Les joueurs se divisent en équipe et distribuent 30 cartes entre les joueurs. Chaque joueur regarde les cartes, repose celles qu’il juge trop difficile et en pioche le nombre qu’il a posé.

Dans Time’s Up! Harry Potter, il existe 3 niveaux de difficulté (« Moldu » avec des mots que tout le monde connait -Baguette Magique, Potion, Sorcier-, « Élève » si vous avez lu les livres et/ ou vu les films -Hermionne Granger, Dumbledore, Serpentard- et « Professeur » pour les fans les plus exigeants -Maugrey Fol OEil, Nagini, Endoloris-), pour que tout le monde puisse jouer selon son niveau de connaissance du monde de Harry Potter.

On mélange ensemble toutes les cartes restantes pour former la pioche, et la partie peut commencer. Une partie de Time’s Up! Harry Potter comporte trois manches où les joueurs et joueuses vont devoir faire deviner quels personnages, sorts, créatures, lieux, objets et autres mots de cet univers, sont inscrits sur les cartes de la pioche. Lors de chaque manche, à tour de rôle, chaque joueur.se va disposer de 40 secondes pour faire deviner le plus de mots possible à ses coéquipiers. Chaque mot deviné rapportera 1 point à son équipe. Lors de la première manche, il pourra décrire les mots sans les nommer. Pour la deuxième manche, chaque joueur ne pourra utiliser qu’un seul mot. À la troisième et dernière manche, les joueurs qui font deviner n’ont plus le droit de parler ! Ils vont devoir mimer ou fredonner pour faire deviner les mots à leurs partenaires.

À l’issue des trois manches, l’équipe qui a totalisé le plus de points remporte la partie.

The Internet Archive is "currently in its third day of warding off an intermittent DDoS cyber-attack," writes Chris Freeland, Director of Library Services at Internet Archive, in a blog post. While library staff stress that the archives are safe, access to its services are affected, including the Wayback Machine. From the post: Since the attacks began on Sunday, the DDoS intrusion has been launching tens of thousands of fake information requests per second. The source of the attack is unknown. "Thankfully the collections are safe, but we are sorry that the denial-of-service attack has knocked us offline intermittently during these last three days," explained Brewster Kahle, founder and digital librarian of the Internet Archive. "With the support from others and the hard work of staff we are hardening our defenses to provide more reliable access to our library. What is new is this attack has been sustained, impactful, targeted, adaptive, and importantly, mean." Cyber-attacks are increasingly frequent against libraries and other knowledge institutions, with the British Library, the Solano County Public Library (California), the Berlin Natural History Museum, and Ontario's London Public Library all being recent victims. In addition to a wave of recent cyber-attacks, the Internet Archive is also being sued by the US book publishing and US recording industries associations, which are claiming copyright infringement and demanding combined damages of hundreds of millions of dollars and diminished services from all libraries. "If our patrons around the globe think this latest situation is upsetting, then they should be very worried about what the publishing and recording industries have in mind," added Kahle. "I think they are trying to destroy this library entirely and hobble all libraries everywhere. But just as we're resisting the DDoS attack, we appreciate all the support in pushing back on this unjust litigation against our library and others."

Jan Leike, one of OpenAI's "superalignment" leaders, who resigned last week due to AI safety concerns, has joined Anthropic to continue the mission. According to Leike, the new team "will work on scalable oversight, weak-to-strong generalization, and automated alignment research." TechCrunch reports: A source familiar with the matter tells TechCrunch that Leike will report directly to Jared Kaplan, Anthropic's chief science officer, and that Anthropic researchers currently working on scalable oversight -- techniques to control large-scale AI's behavior in predictable and desirable ways -- will move to report to Leike as Leike's team spins up. In many ways, Leike's team sounds similar in mission to OpenAI's recently-dissolved Superalignment team. The Superalignment team, which Leike co-led, had the ambitious goal of solving the core technical challenges of controlling superintelligent AI in the next four years, but often found itself hamstrung by OpenAI's leadership. Anthropic has often attempted to position itself as more safety-focused than OpenAI.
