    80% of the book market is owned by 5 publishing houses.

    They want to create a monopoly around AI and kill open source. The copyright industry is not our friend. This is a win, not a loss.

          used to train both commercial

          commercial training is, in this case, stealing people’s work for commercial gain

          and open source language models

          so, uh, let us train open-source models on open-source text. There’s so much of it that there’s no need to steal.

          ?

          I’m not sure why you added a question mark at the end of your statement.

            I was questioning whether or not you would see that as a benefit. Clearly you don’t.

            Are you also against libraries letting people borrow books since those are also lost sales for the authors, or are you just a luddite?

              libraries letting people borrow books

              This is so far from analogous that it’s almost a nonsequitur.

              are you just a luddite?

              No, and you don’t even believe such nonsense. You’re grasping, ineffectively.

        I’ve been pirating since Napster, never have hidden shit. It’s usually not a crime, except in America it seems, to download content, or even share it freely. What is a crime is to make a business distributing pirated content.
