If Julian Assange had taken his privacy principles and built a social network instead of leaking government secrets things might have turned out differently.

Plenty of useful things get free passes to be dangerous. Traffic accidents are the leading cause of accidental deaths in 11 states, but we don't ban cars because they're dangerous. There's plenty of safety features, but we acknowledge and accept that people will die. People like to pretend that they won't sacrifice safety for convenience, but they continue to do it time and time again.
Pre-built PCs are the way to get a deal right now. The price of individual components is much more expensive than buying something from Micro Center or one of the Chinese integrators.
I'm not sure why you're setting slavery aside. It's my whole point. Do you think the Union should have conceded the civil war because "you can't force other people to change their morals?"
Having a libertarian stance on morality is great unless its actually important to take a stand. It's the difference between "I would never own slaves" and being an abolitionist. I think it's pretty reasonable to expect others to agree and align with my personal morals around slavery.
I'm not going to watch a 3 hour video, but custom PCs are a tiny fraction of the consumer hardware market. Also, the custom PC market is struggling partly due to people overstating the price of RAM. It's not like the cost of building a PC has doubled. RAM and SSDs were typically some of the least expensive components in a complete build. Looking at prebuilt PCs from iBuyPower, a pre-built that would have cost $2000 last July now costs a whopping $2100 with the same components.
That was Meta. The judge ruled in the Anthropic case that they infringed because they downloaded pirated copies of books that they could have otherwise purchased legally, and for retaining copies of those books as a central library.
In Bartz v. Anthropic the judge ruled that Anthropic making a digital copy of a printed book and then discarding the physical book was not infringing when used to a train a model.
