Sup, you beautiful bastards. Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show you daily dive into the news and

wow. I have got a massive one for you today. So you just buckle up, hit that like button,

especially if you want to let me know you love them big and let's jump into it. Starting with

Mr. Beast, PewDie Pie and MKBHD, they're getting screwed right now and not in the fun way.

But the new report from Proof News and Wired alleging that some of the world's biggest tech

companies are using their content for AI training.

But also, it's not just them, right?

They're just the most high profile.

With this report saying they found that subtitles from 173,000 YouTube videos from over 48,000

channels were used by the likes of Anthropic,

Nvidia, Apple, and Salesforce. With this content being found in a dataset called YouTube

subtitles, which contained video transcripts from all over the platform. And so there, it appears

that these tech companies, right, they weren't directly swiping the videos themselves.

Instead, a company called a Luther AI actually created the dataset that was accessed.

So notably, the report

said they did not respond to the outlet's requests for comment, this, even though the report

alleged these videos were used without permission. And so this issue, once again, highlights the kind

of gray area regarding what content AI companies can use to train their models. And as far as what

else was in the YouTube subtitles dataset, well, I mean, we're talking about videos from major news outlets, like the Wall Street Journal, NPR, and BBC. That's along with videos from TV hosts like

Stephen Colbert, John Oliver, and Jimmy Kimmel. Though I will say, like, when it comes to YouTube

creators, it appears they have some favorites. With only two videos being taken from Mr. B, seven

videos from MKBHD, a whopping 377 from Jack Septukey, and another 337 from PewDiePie. B, seven videos from MKBHD, a whopping 377 from Jack's Septic Eye, and another 337 from PewDiePie.
