Did you read the actual order? The detailed conclusions begin on page 9. What specific bits did he get wrong?
I'm on page 12 and I already saw a false equivalence between human learning and AI training.
Is it this?
That's the judge addressing an argument that the Authors made. If anyone made a "false equivalence" here it's the plaintiffs, the judge is simply saying "okay, let's assume their claim is true." As is the usual case for a preliminary judgment like this.
Wait, the authors argued that? Why? That's literally the opposite of the thing they needed to argue.
Page 6 the judge writes the LLM “memorized” the content and could “recite” it.
Neither is true in training or use of LLMs
The judge writes that the Authors told him that LLMs memorized the content and could recite it. He then said "for purposes of argument I'll assume that's true," and even despite that he went ahead and ruled that LLM training does not violate copyright.
It was perhaps a bit daring of Anthropic not to contest what the Authors claimed in that case, but as it turns out the result is an even stronger ruling. The judge gave the Authors every benefit of the doubt and still found that they had no case when it came to training.
Depends on the content and the method. There are tons of ways to encrypt data, and under relevant law they may still count as copies. There are certainly weaker NN models where we can extract a lot of the training data, even if it's not easy, from the model parameters (even if we can't find a prompt that gets the model to regurgitate).
