    I genuinely don’t understand people defending copy right on Lemmy. It’s a bad system that’s made for wealth hoarding. Out of 1,000,000 copyright conflicts only 1 them protects actual people. The rest 999,999 is there to hoard wealth for the rich.

    It’s good that Llama was trained on copyrighted stuff even if you hate Meta and Zuckerborg.

    Zuck makes all these fatal mistakes that should destroy him, but he made enough money to get into the club where laws don’t apply and there are never consequences for your actions.

    Every sociopath’s dream. But still, I bet he’s in the club because of his usefulness to the old members. He’s not actually one of them, and he never will be.

    Torrenting, a way of distributing files across the web, requires that torrenters simultaneously “seed,” or upload, the files they’re trying to obtain.

    That’s not true. Techniques exist to fight off leeching and download speeds are severely impacted by them but that a blanket statement of a requirement just isn’t true.

    Okay if anything positive about Meta and other AI companies, I love how they are helping to burn down the copyright scheme designed to protect the corporations themselves

    According to the latest filing, Meta also revealed during depositions that it torrented LibGen, a move that gave some Meta research engineers pause. Torrenting, a way of distributing files across the web, requires that torrenters simultaneously “seed,” or upload, the files they’re trying to obtain.

    Plaintiffs’ counsel alleges that Meta effectively engaged in another form of copyright infringement by torrenting LibGen and thus helping to spread its contents. Meta also tried to conceal its activities, counsel alleges, by minimizing the number of files it uploaded.

    So if books3 was all off Bibliotik… is the mysterious books2 that’s theorized to be all of libgen what they torrented?? I had heard of OpenAI using books2, but no others, and no firm info on it. So were they torrenting individual books, a thing that’s probably relatively simple to automate, or did they find a torrent of books2? Were they just throttling upload on a public torrent/torrents?
