Piracy was never stealing, anyone who said it was is either an idiot or a troll (those anti-piracy astroturfers would fall into the second category).
Considering who lobbies for and enforces copyright these days (rich assholes) and the amount put into anti-piracy and anti-sharing campaigns I don't think it's helping much in those areas. Companies these days often violate GPL with little to no consequence (name one time a company got in trouble and there's probably 100 that didn't).
I've been putting off cleaning my bathroom for way too long now, it's scary in there... 😬
You can go fuck yourself dude, trans women are women. For all social and identity purposes they are female.
He absolutely doesn't want to get rid of them, just make large corporations immune from claims or maybe even able to take copyrights away from others. Abolishment of copyright goes against these people's core beliefs of control, they don't want copyright gone, they wish to control it.
No you aren't, the tactic that @orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts And many others are using here is called Tu quoque and it is a logical fallacy.
This person is is a grade A first class loser who just goes around harassing people and making bad faith accusations, this is his third account banned for the same crap.

Just to address this piece this is only true for large corporate models, smaller self-hosted open-source models can run on a single GPU. I hear people arguing this like it's something universal across the board for any AI system, but it isn't really
People shunning or putting down training AI with pirated images while engaging in and promoting piracy themselves are hypocritical idiots because they're engaging in the very thing they are shunning. You can't shun copyright infringement and take part in it at the same time, that's idiotic and destroys your credibility.
