It's a good idea.
I just was renewing my dl with the state of MN and to avoid really stupid amounts of time in registration (going from a normal to "enhanced" id they have you upload not just the front and back of your dl but also your passport. So I instead accepted that I'm going to spend my whole fucking day in their office.
Sir, your side has shot the man who demonstrated how left's ideas don't hold up in debates in the neck on front of his children.
And then your types are on the record going into the streets singing "we got Charlie in the neck" and other similar heinous shit.
Sit down.
I look forward to you refuting a single stated fact?
"It's immune to EMP."
Not quite. Well yes, obviously the COPPER doesn't give a shit about emp but as I understand, emp induces current in wires/circuits, generating voltage that fries things. Anything connected to those wires will absolutely fry to EMP unless hardened.
I believe something about the unstated part of their name being "Not Elon".

There are varying interpretations of "shareholder duty" and rent seeking isn't the only valid one.
Kudos for a decent northbridge in the M series, I guess.

Oh noes.
Let's remember that Trump was always a east coast Democrat who opportunistically jumped into the 2016 election as a Republican because it was an opportunity for self promotion and free press. Nobody - including him, I believe - thought he'd win.
When he did, his liberal friends turned on him with their typical viciousness, which hurt his all important ego. They spent 4 years in (essentially) permanent impeachment hearings, based on information provided by Russia, which in his simplistic view, entrenched his victim complex and obsession with revenge.
Couple this, then, with the triumphalist left who felt when they defeated the wicked witch, they could do no wrong, and so decided to spend 4 years taking a Victory Shit on everything they could, from inviting 30 million illegals into the country to having trannies flop their frankentits out at the White House on Easter.
Trump is an exponential narcissist, childish, crude, and frankly rather dumb.
Think how odious and repellent the Left have to be to lose to him TWICE?
The previous poster likes to frame it as a vast right wing conspiracy but the truth is never quite that convenient. Most organized churches & clergy in the US are now about gay priests & rainbow banners, actively spreading and refuting their remaining few hyper conservative rural congregations. Democrats have always been a majority in the US, since the Republicans were formed to get rid of slavery. The only reason any Republican ever wins is that enough Democrats get tired of their own party's bullshit and vote right. In the last election EVERY SINGLE DEMOGRAPHIC BLOCK SHIFTED RIGHT (aside from, predictably, white women). Think about that. Blacks & Hispanics - in particular black men - voted in unprecedented numbers for Trump. Or, more accurately, against a Democrat machine that has milked them for votes for 70 years. The election wasn't really (by modern margins) that close.
Don't let the ideologically captured slashdot fool you. The country, having seen Trump as president once, and offered another 4 years of Obama-Biden-Harris said "No, thanks, we'll take the nutball instead". Instead of swallowing the party line of your own European media, maybe ask yourself why. And unlike Democrats, don't just start with the assumption that anyone who disagrees with you must be stupid. That's an ideology for a child.
I don't even faintly dispute that Trump is a shitty, egotistical president. He is. And he makes some really walk decisions. But he is really what the left made him, and I suspect that only a colossal who like his would have been able to buck the malignant insider cabal of both parties. In this case the medicine is unfortunately nearly as bad as the disease.
"You think techologists have a right to torrent their work for free and profit off of it?"
To answer your specific question: Not at all. (reductio ad absurdam is one of the lazier fallacies, btw). I never even implied that. If they torrented an artists' actual work in the sense of sharing that exact work for free they absolutely should be punished to the same degree Pirate Bay or Anna's Archive is, absolutely.
Of course, that isn't what they're doing, is it?
I was merely commenting on your assertion that "The pinnacle of current technology rests on torrented media and unpaid creatives" like visual artists & musicians whinging that their art has been 'stolen' to feed AI programs
Put it this way:
- Mary draws a picture (or writes a song) that is genius. Everyone loves it.
- Mary puts that artwork online to either a) sell it or b) sell her competence so other people will buy her work. (I'd guess "a" applies more to musicians, "b" to visual artists but either way the principle is the same).
Now, as far as "stealing" in the context your post seemed to mean, two things can happen.
1) Sam sees/hears the piece, thinks, that's pretty cool and learns to copy it from 01-99% successfully. Now, he cannot copy it 100%, as would be him creating identical artwork and claiming "this was produced by Mary". I think we can agree either of those would be theft? But if he creates something similar, or something stylistically comparable - maybe even openly acknowledges 'like Mary's work' - as long as he actually did it himself, openly acknowledges the source, he's legally fine afaik. I don't even know if he HAS to acknowledge her as a source, but that's polite. As long as he clearly did it himself, I think he's probably ok.
2) an LLM comes along, does the exact same thing. Except this time, Mary insists her art is stolen and demands compensation.
The very concept of 2 is absurd. CERTAINLY she can demand attribution, but money? Are the LLMs ever claiming they are ACTUALLY reproducing Mary's work? I don't think so. Just because they can compress the learning process of decades into a few hours' churn doesn't change the principle.
The irony, to me, is that Mary bitches about the LLMs stealing her work when it never could have happened if she didn't initially digitize her product in search of audience/sales. THAT'S ultimately what provides me a chuckle. If Mary CHARGES people to look/listen at her work, and the LLMs sneak past it, it's theft. But if she's put it up to be enjoyed for free, it's ALSO there for anyone - human or algorithm - to learn from. You can't have it one way but not the other.
I know if I worked at Amazon "You don't need perfection to start." would absolutely come up in my next review.
I kid, I kid. Galley slaves never get to speak to the captain nor even the drummer for the deck you're on. Today they just get an email "Pull harder or we toss you to the sharks in an hour" - maybe that's what her 100k lines of code does?
It's the same shit porn sites asked kids in the 1990s. "What is your date of birth".
Yes sir, I was born on january 1st 1970. Now let me the see the titties.
Honey, no one cares about academia any more. It's been studied by people who replaced them after far left subverted the academia. The corpos. And you can see the results not because they publish what they find, but because they act to generate results they want in reality based on things they found by studying each subject.
