No worries. I might have a weird style of talking. Take care. Because the world probably doesn't care whatever opinions we uphold, and will try ro replace everything with text predictors anyway 😖

But yeah, I can't get over all the piracy either. Some activists died because of pirating stuff online, they're constantly trying to shutdown Anna's Archive and all other piracy sites. Just totally fine once big AI companies do it.

    I have a weird style of talking too :3 Honestly, I'm sick of LLMs entirely and I think the companies peddling them should all fuck off. I'm still working on making all my devices 100% free of slopware.

    Anna's Archive is the goodest of all piracy sites. Like, they're goal is literally just to preserve content. Same with a lot of retro game ROMs; if they didn't care about preservation, they'd ditch all the obscure games that 99.99% of people haven't even heard of.

    Hmmh. I think there's a point doing piracy in some Robin Hood way. Like take whatever is there and isn't really monetized anymore. Or maybe even take from the rich, and give it to the people. Guess some popular pop artists, book authors and publishers have a pile of money anyway. Sure, the ethics of it is questionable... But I guess they'll still do alright.

    Taking from the poor, is a bit of a different story.

    And the completely insane upside-down way is what we got with the AI industry. They do it for corporate greed. They are the tech oligarchs and redistribute stuff from the people towards the rich. Can't believe that's the future a society is craving for?!

    I used to pirate a lot of stuff when I was young and didn't have any money. Nowadays I try to pay. Though sometimes it's really difficult. I mean Spotify is next to a ripoff for the artists as well. And Netflix got so much worse, I had to unsubscribe. But at least I got a nice Steam library with some indie games etc. And it's still illegal for me to do it. So it'd be unfair to allow Zuckerberg to do it.
