"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

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.
