Go for it. See what happens. I want you to do it. I want you to see what happens. I want your citizens to experience what happens.
I want the citizens who didn’t vote for you to fucking leave (spoiler alert: that’s gonna be a disproportionate amount of the more intelligent side of your citizenry).
I want the citizens who did vote for you to be alarmed and shocked and dismayed and say things like “who could have dreamed this would happen?”, because, as law enforcement loves to say: ignorance is not a defense.
Fuck around; find out. I hope the leopards enjoy your faces. Fucking imbeciles.
Licensing isn’t 1 sided. You have to have both parties AGREE to the license.
In this case it’s just text on each message.
The reason OpenAI was able to scrape the internet largely consequence free is because they never agreed to the ToS of the websites, thus they are not bound by those terms.
I agree that it isn’t right or morally correct, but legally it’s okay.
Additionally, by signing up to Lemmy, they grant certain rights and privileges to their instance and others due to agreeing to the license.
In fact, lemmy could make it easier for scrapers, as lemmy will happily deliver content to your instance, simplifying scraping.
Yeah the GOP tried that in Michigan in select cities during the Snyder administration using their "Emergency Manager" law. They tried to save money in Flint by switching to a closer water source and then proceeded to cut corners in that transition process. Obviously things went very poorly.
Yeah and their decades of leadership left the roads in shambles yet they have the nerve to bitch about the road work every summer. Maybe they wouldn't have to replace every single overpass if you guys just did regular maintenance in the 90s, 00s and 10s.
I am loving being ignorant to what you are speaking on as now I am thinking some how the Irish Republican Army is funneling money into MI for some reason.
lol it's the Inflation Reduction Act that was signed while Biden was in office. It included a bunch of funding items, but notably it had money for transportation infrastructure across the nation. Whitmer ran on fixing the roads, but struggled to get funding with the GOP running the state legislature for the first part of her time as governor.
