So, we’ve got ourselves a regular Jack D’oh, it looks like.

Ah. I see we’re moving the goal posts now? Does this usually work for you? I, for one, really enjoy talking to cement. Have fun doing you, homes.

… to do things the right, proper, and legal way - that means shredding books.

Sorry, are you high? How tf does that make sense? Do you shred the books you buy, after reading them?

This particular use you seem to be irrationally shilling for is nothing like anything humankind has experienced before, let alone a variation on commerce that’s been ethically overseen, and should be treated as such: with ironclad, tailor-fit licensing per-use to utilize specific content, and with fines proportionate to its corp’s worth for each failure/breach. (which likely will be many, in the beginning, as the leeches test the new boundaries)

And, until that is even viable, they don’t get to “train” their half-assed LLMs on anything they don’t have explicit permission to do so. Full stop.

That any of us here would prefer to let it slide “this time” belies a collective accessory to the currently conflagrating reality we all share.

^***** : bullshit they are; we’ll hear about the infinitesimal “fine” later on, once it benefits them to shift public focus. Check back later, see if they don’t.

edit: FWIW, the glaring fact that the current draconian laws that’re being complied with^***** are irrelevant to this unique type of transaction and are only serving to justify the rapid destruction of priceless literary works, etc. isn’t exactly engendering hope.

Also:

They’d love to brag about how many niche titles they’ve preserved

jesuschrist. You’ve gulped the Kool-Aid, my guy. 🤢 You know “them” personally? They call you at home? Like you somehow have a finger on the pulse of what “they’d love to” do.

…or, maybe you do. 🤔

I’ll say. Wrangling cats is easier than whatever this is.

Don’t apologize for them —especially not with shit argument points and implied shame. Fuck off with that shit. None of this is a consequence of “our” actions, and your stance is more simp than solid. Nah. Hard pass.

Well, their books are, yes.

But, the similarities largely stop there, in this instance. Training “AI” on literature isn’t at all similar to a single person checking out a book/magazine/dvd/et al, and that’s not even getting into the fact that the aforementioned fuckers are destroying tons of physical copies IRL to “train” their bullshit bots.

“AI” ≈ libraries? Pff. We would be so lucky. 🥲

They didn’t even have to change the decor…

Yep, I’ve been both, for sure, and I hear ya. Not so much the drinking anymore, and the former was just as often leading a group/class for science adventures, but yeah. Camping, et al, is near to my own heart and I hold it sacred as a method of meditation and re-centering, so there’s some crotchety in there re: popularizing the luxurification of the whole thing. I mean, the Ship of Theseus is an entirely different question when someone’s opened a gift shop onboard. 😅

Said “vibe” seems like it’s slipping into boujie “glamping is camping” territory, ngl. 🙆🏼‍♂️

To be honest, mine’d look more like a late-teen w/ that $100, if only for the requisite weed component. 🧏🏼‍♂️

That’s awesome, and you’re very welcome, fellow anon! 🖖🏼 Every breast is worth celebrating, especially by their bearers/owners. 🥳

Wait, we get social circles?

That’s the oldschool cost for ink, too.

Eyy, deep cut. 🤌🏼

Displacement says otherwise —if they aren’t handled with informed intention & positive attention. 🥰

Thus, your journey to the Dad Joke side begins…

It’s a civic duty for each of us to welcome and help reform refugees from those other places, NGL. 🧏🏼‍♂️

Cock owners’ve thought they have it bad with swamp scrote, but that’s only one thing we’ve been so confidently wrong about. 🙇🏼‍♂️

I’m not sure they’re “sweet” in that state.

I’m all for 100% freed boobs everywhere if it means we, collectively, have more than a few decades left.

(the species might survive a bit longer, but maybe that’s being overly generous?)
