A Tesla factory robot attacked a worker and left him bleeding
特斯拉工厂发生流血事件——机器人袭击工作人员
A robot attacked a Tesla worker and left him bleeding on the automaker’s Austin factory floor two years ago, according to an explosive new report. At Giga Texas, an engineer had started to work on three robots sometime in 2021 but didn’t realize that only two had been shut off, The Information reported, citing two unnamed witnesses. The third robot kept moving and pinned the engineer against a surface, pushing its claws into his body and drawing blood from his back and his arm. After another worker hit an emergency stop button, the victim was able to get out of the robot’s grasp and fell down a scrap-metal chute, trailing blood behind him. Tesla’s Austin factory appeared to be much more dangerous for workers than other auto plants, according to The Information’s analysis of federal data. Nearly one out of every 21 workers at the Austin factory was injured on the job last year – substantially higher than the one in 30 median injury rate at similar factories. (Fortune, 2023-12-28)
一份新发布的报告引起了轰动,该报告称,两年前,在美国得克萨斯州奥斯汀市的特斯拉工厂,曾发生机器人袭击工作人员事件,当时该工作人员遇袭受伤倒地,血流不止。据《信息》报道,两名未透露姓名的目击者称,2021年某天,得克萨斯州超级工厂的一名工程师开始操作三台机器人时,没有意识到只关闭了其中两台。第三台机器人仍然在移动,它将工程师按在废铁槽上,把爪子狠狠刺入他的背部和手臂,使其鲜血淋漓。另一名工作人员按下紧急停止按钮后,遇袭工程师才得以摆脱机器人的控制,从铁槽上跌落,留下一道血痕。《信息》对联邦数据的分析显示,对工作人员而言,相比其他汽车工厂,特斯拉在奥斯汀的工厂似乎危险得多。去年,奥斯汀工厂每21名工人中就有1人在工作中受伤——这远远高于同类工厂每30人中1人受伤的平均水平。(《财富》,2023年12月28日)

New York Timessues OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement
《纽约时报》起诉OpenAI和微软侵犯版权
The New York Timeshas sued OpenAI and Microsoft over the use of its content to train generative artificial intelligence and large-language model systems, a move that could see the company receive billions of dollars in damages. The copyrightinfringement lawsuit filed on Wednesday claims that while the companies copied information from many sources to build their systems, they give New York Timescontent “particular emphasis” and “seek to free-ride on the Times’s massive investment in its journalism by using it to build substitutive products without permission or payment”. The “unlawful use” of the paper’s articles with no incentive to click through to the original source “threatens the Times’s ability to provide that service”, and false information wrongly attributed to a source potentially damages the Times’s brand, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit does not contain a monetary claim, but called on the companies to destroy any chatbot models and training data that use copyrighted material from the Times. With tension growing over use of published materials to train ChatGPT, OpenAI has announced partnerships seeking to assuage concerns and added in a press release that information on the system would “include attribution and links to the full articles for transparency and further information”. Microsoft did not respond to requests for comment. (The Guardian, 2023-12-28)
《纽约时报》起诉 OpenAI 和微软,指控他们使用该报内容来训练生成式人工智能和大语言模型,这可能让该报得到数十亿美元的赔偿。2023年12月27日,《纽约时报》提起版权侵犯诉讼称,尽管 OpenAI 和微软多方搜刮信息来构建系统,但他们对《纽约时报》的内容“特别看重”,且“无视该报在新闻业的大量投资,未经许可或支付版权费就利用该报来创建替代性产品,坐享其成”。诉状表示,“非法使用”该报文章,且无明确指向原文章的链接,此举“严重影响该报的服务”,而虚假信息误导信息来源则可能损害该报声誉。该诉讼未提及索赔事宜,但要求两家公司销毁所有使用该报版权资料的聊天机器人模型和训练数据。随着使用出版资料训练 ChatGPT 的问题日益严峻,OpenAI宣布了与其他出版机构建立合作伙伴关系,以缓解担忧,并在新闻发布会上补充说明,其系统所用信息将“包含完整文章的来源和链接,以提高信息的透明度和广度”。微软未就此事做出任何评论。(《卫报》,2023年12月28日)
