Show Notes
The AI industry is grappling with a massive copyright problem. This episode explores why "un-training" data from models is technically impossible, the legal concept of "fruit of the poisonous tree," and the performance gap facing "consent-first" models. We dive into the technical reality of gradient descent, the failure of old web protocols like robots.txt, and the risky future of synthetic data.
