Here's the relevant (and entire) quote from an email.

I am on the data strategy team at NVIDIA, we are exploring including Anna's Archive in pre-training data for our LLMs.

We are figuring out internally whether we are willing to accept the risk of using this data, but would like to speak with your team to get a better understanding of LLM-related work you have done.

It’s just concrete proof that Nvidia as well as all of the big LLMs just stole their training data. I mean this has their legal team mulling their risks. Good artists copy, great ones steal. All hail Scam Altman!

March 10 (Reuters) - Nvidia (NVDA.O), whose chips power artificial intelligence, has been sued by three authors who said it used their copyrighted books without permission to train its Nemo AI platform.

Brian Keene, Abdi Nazemian and Stewart O'Nan said their works were part of a dataset of about 196,640 books that helped train NeMo to simulate ordinary written language, before being taken down in October "due to reported copyright infringement."

They are seeking unspecified damages for people in the United States whose copyrighted works helped train NeMo's so-called large language models in the last three years.
