But I can't pirate copyrighted materials to "train" my own real intelligence.

    Now you get why we were all told to hate AI. It's a patriot act for copywrite and IP laws. We should be able too. But that isn't where our discussions were steered was it

    Man, what if we abolished copyright, but also banned gen AI completely. I think that would be the funniest answer.

    We don't make laws. They do and they won't abolish something that's set up for them. But we have a choice to listen for now. What if we do whatever we wanted and we didn't make it easy for them to enforce rules that don't benefit us. I remember underground comics back in the day that said fuck Disney and drew Mickey smoking crack because fuck Disney. I remember downloading some of the best music on Napster because it was not really protected songs yet that some kid remixes into a whole new song. Like Slipknot and Britney Spears.

    Interlibrary Loan isn't available everywhere (at least back when I used to work at a library ~10 years ago it wasn't). If it is, it often has an associated fee (usually at least shipping fees, sometimes an additional service fee). I think the common exception to that is public university libraries.

  • My city library will pull from nearby libraries for a fee (like $2/work I think?), or I can use my card at those same libraries for free (just need to return to the same library), but AFAIK they don't pull from anything beyond that. We're a relatively small city (like 30-40k people), so maybe things are different downtown.

    University libraries, however, will pull from pretty much everywhere, and they have access to a ton of online academic resources.
