Aaron Swartz was 100% opposed to all copyright laws, you remember that yah?

    Yes, and he killed himself after the FBI was throwing the book at him for doing exactly what these AI assholes are doing without repercussion

    And for some reason suddenly everyone leaps back to the side of the FBI and copyright because it's a meme to hate on LLMs.

    It's almost like people don't have real convictions.

    You can't be Team Aaron when it's popular and then Team Copyright Maximalist when the winds change and it's time to hate on LLMs or diffusion models.

    I'm not just a copyright abolitionnist, I also abhor all intellectual property. Yes, even trademsrk

    Me too. I fundamentally oppose the idea that ideas can be owned, even by oneself.

    But a weird cult has developed around copyright where people think they are on the side of the little guy by defending copyright.
