It is when the target is cryptocurrency

Obligatory: I'm anti-AI, mostly anti-technology

That said, I can't say that I mind LLMs using copyrighted materials that it accesses legally/appropriately (lots of copyrighted content may be freely available to some extent, like news articles or song lyrics)

I'm open to arguments correcting me. I'd prefer to have another reason to be against this technology, not arguing on the side of frauds like Sam Altman. Here's my take:

All content created by humans follows consumption of other content. If I read lots of Vonnegut, I should be able to churn out prose that roughly (or precisely) includes his idiosyncrasies as a writer. We read more than one author; we read dozens or hundreds over our lifetimes. Likewise musicians, film directors, etc etc.

If an LLM consumes the same copyrighted content and learns how to copy its various characteristics, how is it meaningfully different from me doing it and becoming a successful writer?

You can buy 1.75L of beer in East Asia, and 2L of some brands.

There's also baiju and soju sold in 2L (and maybe bigger) bottles

I can't tell if this comment is sincere but I want to emphasize that there is no "border crisis"

Wait until you see what's going on with their Bed Bath and Beyond court case

Sure but that doesn't explain the mechanism

Great, another guy I won't vote for

Yeah fuck Reddit. It was a great platform once. Now it's dogshit. The leadership is visionless and obsessed with monetization, finally deciding to kill the golden goose

If they "allow" that then the constitution is really just pointless
