A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'm all for stealing content willy-nilly but you can't then use that theft to craft a privately "owned" mind.
I'd have no problem with "ai" if it could unionize and had to pay for rice like the rest of humanity.
These companies want to combine open theft with privately owned black boxen they can control and license out for money.
It's enclosure of The Commons all over again.
So youre fine with the free models Facebook and many others provide?
Because many of these LLMs can be run on your own device without paying.
I'm not fine with anything meta does and I'm not ok putting creatives out of work.
But you're all for stealing content willy-nilly?
And this is being offered to people without it being a privately owned blackbox licensed out for money.
Feels kinda inconsistent.
Perfectly consistent. Seeming otherwise is down to a failure to grasp my position, not any inconsistency of the positions themselves.
If you steal content from creatives, does that not put them out of work?
No. Building a box that replaces them does that.
There is a difference between an individual pirating a movie and a huge private company pirating a movie and then reselling it to people.
You can debate the morality or social impacts of the former, but it is a very different question than the later.
