It kind of blows my mind how our society is set up to give the most power to the worst people.

Good ol’ Biting Pear of Salamanca.

That term is tricky in the United States, because conservatives use it to mean anybody to the left of center while self-described “liberals” have a lot of smoke for the left but only make excuses for the right.

“As you can see, I have chosen unhappy pictures for the United States and happy ones for China, therefore China is better.” Flawless victory lmao

Both have issues with surveillance and free speech.

There are good reasons to not buy honey.

Could you be serious, though?

There is no cloud. Just other people’s computers.

Not an unpopular opinion.

So, you’re against the Wayback Machine?

That’s not touching the ethics of stealing everyone’s work for your AI then selling it back to them.

Yeah, it’s the “selling it back to them” part that gets me. I don’t want to outlaw scraping, because then the Wayback Machine couldn’t function. The Wayback Machine is free, though. It’s a public service. (One which is very much needed, IMO.) If, instead, the Internet Archive required that you pay for a subscription in order to use it, I think most people would be very upset, and rightfully so.

You want to scrape the Web to feed your LLM? Cool! Make it an open-weight model.

And clearly a boomer, if they remember the Summer of Love.
