Nah, no /s needed when there are actual ample examples of enshittification via nickel and diming ads and ad-like bwhavior.

Propaganda is ever-present. What doesn’t have to be present is a “representative democracy” that is hardly democratic and only represents the rich…

What “agenda” are you posting? You’re just nay-saying.

Go eat hay elsewhere with that attitude.

It is most definitely NOT the peoples’ fault. 2/3rds of the government’s branches aren’t even elected (by the people at least).

Notice how I said “commercially profit” too. Read all the words next time.

Also LLMs do not “learn” anything, you idiot. That’s the entire point. They mathematically blender things. They DO NOT learn and create.

Yea OK they’re fucked. I really really doubt they’ll be able to claim the data is solely comprised of the open works saved within that database. The only way they’d be able to get away with it is if they’ve meticulously harvested the data such that they only ever retrieved the open works or public domain works.

Anything not in that list or otherwise made available solely via their nonprofit efforts is going to be ammo in the lawsuit. Ammo that will hit its target.

I think that would depend on how intentional the open port was.

If it’s something there and advertised, even if mentioned in one place in some archaic document, they’d probably be fine just for accessing it.

Though that would only absolve them of acquisition issues. If they’re using someone else’s work for profit, there is almost certainly enough room for the lawsuit.

Only a select few licenses even allow for open and unrestricted commercial use. Especially if the data itself is the licensed thing, since valuable data is far easier to convert than something like source code.

I mean… it’ll all come down to how they accessed the data. If they had a public portal and no EULA, they can push rocks. If the data wasn’t public or the ‘theives’ had to use non-standard channels, or otherwise violated an EULA, they’re likely screwed. Especially if they had to go through abnormal channels.

I know their data can be accessed publicly, but I’m pretty sure it’s under license. You cannot just use any old thing found in public… That’s the biggest reasons the AI models are technically theft: they weren’t licensed to commercially profit off of 99.99% of the things their LLMs are trained on, but the law and politicians are WAY behind the times. Commercial data they’d normally have to pay for is suddenly magically OK when laundered through an LLM…

The complacency of the ignorant is part of the exact problem I’m pointing at.

Why do you think so many are lazy about activism? Is it because they think protests are actual work? Complacency after making vapid statements that don’t actually even slow down the bad people is also bad.

Normies are lazy because they think this virtue signaling shit is more effective than it is.

Ahh yes, that concert sure slowed them down.

They already know they’re a minority. Why are you assuming you are not a majority against them?

Everyone has such fucking pathetic responses to people who LITERALLY WANT TO KILL YOU if you’re not “normal”. You should already know those troglodytes are a minority.

I understand the idea of galvanizing. Maybe you should grow a brain and realize I want what comes AFTER the galvanizing, not calling to go back to The Before Times™. I want people MORE pissed off and ready to actually DO something.

Nothing I could possibly say could alter the course of moronic humanity. You cannot even accept an obvious statement of fact without dejection and snark.

Humanity is too stupid to change its fate, and I am not above saying I told you so; at least I recognize saying it changes nothing just like protests change nothing.

Ah yes, protests! Famously capable of stopping evil people in their tracks. That’s why ww2 is a fictional tale!

Keep in mind data recovery vs drive size. Getting past ~16TB drives, it starts to become a question of whether the rest would be able to survive a restore of a failed drive if any are going to have remotely similar endurance. Obviously, the answer is going to be “yes” most of the time, but at a certain point, there are deminishing returns on the cost of the drives to where even a one to one price increase in the HDD per size might not be worth it all the same.

Kinda’ a moot point if you’re not going to raid them in any way for reliability, but worth a thought.

I’ve described this terribly, but Level1tech on YT talks about it sometimes in reviews.

I’m not saying don’t criticize it. I’m saying even understand what it’s trying to do before you start whining about how it doesn’t work.

This was always, ALWAYS going to happen. That was the plan. The idea isn’t to magically solve all of Reddit’s problems, but to decentralize the product. It’s the same product, OF COURSE it has nearly the same identical flaws on a per-instance basis.

The entire point is the federation and choice, NOT some mystical idea of a Reddit without Reddit problems. That’s just stupid expectations.

That’s … still the case in the monolith places??

Your negativity is seriously stupid… On the level of, “Well if we cannot stop people from doing something, why even make it illegal!?”

Yes, ANYTHING can be abused. You are soooo wise for pointing that out…

Ahh yes, the ability to have different communities with different rules is WORSE than a monolith that bans anyone who disagrees with Dear Leader…

Your views are completely ignorant to what the entire point of the fediverse even is. If you want to go live under a king that can have you killed for frowning at him … leave. No one is keeping you here against your will.

Not all old white dudes look the same, you agist.

What the blowup doll.

Murdered via neglegence. Choosing to finish the flight on time over someone’s life should be despicable to anyone with a fragment of a soul left.
