If it weren’t for piracy, the Internet would not exist

Well, it would, but it was still very much to look like the ARPANET, because, otherwise, it would have no reason to exist

    I always thought porn was the catalyst.

    That’s what the internet is for. Porn.

    Mmmm, I think it would, too, but we’d knowingly still call it LLMs and use it both responsibly and accordingly.

    Yeah, everything would be a lot more boring, but boring is good. People can afford to eat when things are boring. Socialized healthcare is boring.

    Wonderfully boring. Like bike lanes and city-funded daycare.
