    Torrenting, a way of distributing files across the web, requires that torrenters simultaneously “seed,” or upload, the files they’re trying to obtain.

    That’s not true. Techniques exist to fight off leeching and download speeds are severely impacted by them but that a blanket statement of a requirement just isn’t true.

    This is a man who’s reaction to being trusted is to question the intelligence of the person trusting him. I’m not kidding.

    I genuinely don’t understand people defending copy right on Lemmy. It’s a bad system that’s made for wealth hoarding. Out of 1,000,000 copyright conflicts only 1 them protects actual people. The rest 999,999 is there to hoard wealth for the rich.

    It’s good that Llama was trained on copyrighted stuff even if you hate Meta and Zuckerborg.

      Copyright is bad, but if it exists, it should apply equally to everyone, not just megacorporations.

        That will never happen because it costs resources to pursue infringement.

        Maybe if we eventually reach the stage where AI is basically running all law related issues so everyone can afford it? But if that happens then we’re already in a post-copyright world.

    Okay if anything positive about Meta and other AI companies, I love how they are helping to burn down the copyright scheme designed to protect the corporations themselves
