> when they should be fighting for independent development and universal access.

Because it’s literally not going to happen. The existence of LLMs is a function of how much capital you have. Frontier models require so many resources to train and run that they are functionally inaccessible to the average person.

That’s why capital loves them! It’s a resources play.

You’re also conveniently leaving out all of the other negative aspects of LLMs/GenAI with regards to the arts, open communication, etc..

Huh? This analogy makes no sense. It’s beside the point anyways.

The utility of laws isn’t in stopping something from occurring, it’s in establishing remedies for when they do. Someone illegally transferred IP to a competitor that had knowledge they were stealing, and now Apple is seeking their remedy.

“They could have prevented it” is victim blaming.

Genuinely disgusting that your first thought is therapy speak platitudes rather than holding someone accountable.

Hey, this attitude sucks. Would you tell this to someone who got beat up in an alley?

Facts, but also are we at all surprised that a harry potter fan is Like This? I knew just from the title that this would be vibe-coded dogshit.

Aren’t people on this website supposed to be like, smart? If I wanted someone to tell me “if you don’t like it leave it” as if it’s an actual position worth arguing I could just go to the bar.

No it doesn’t. The reactionary people are the ones cheering on the people doing the rounding, as long as it’s against people they don’t like.

That’s the problem with the mindset - if it was genuinely anarchistic it would be better. Instead, it’s just privileged and focused on creating an out group.

> But this is none of your business.

The culture described extends far into things that are my business, like being able to walk around without being shot.

Nah, I’d rather beg for money than be run over by some dipshit driving a truck on swampers that’s 3 times as big as they’ll ever need. Oh, wait, in other countries you don’t have to beg and plead to receive healthcare.

> this reflects an aspect of American culture that you can’t just erase.

Yeah, and that’s the problem. A whole country full of people belligerent enough to say “fuck you” to anyone who tells them “hey you probably shouldn’t blow your hand off”. What a wonderful place.

So that is the argument you’re making?

Everything is driven by a stimulator, dumbass. LLMs have one purpose and it’s plagiarism. Downplaying that by saying “someone’s doing the plagiarism” doesn’t make the plagiarism machine okay. Are you this retarded about guns, too?

You quite literally did??

Yeah, obviously. It was a sarcastic reply to a nonsense argument of “there are no bad things only bad people”

“drunk driving kills a lot of people, but it also helps a lot of people get to work on time, so it’s impossible to say whether it’s bad or not”

I mean, quite a few have come from proto-manosphere circles, too. Elliot Rodger comes to mind.

This reads like a parody of libertarians.
