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.

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).

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.

I mean you kind of should care since the tagline of the instance is "Be Weird, Download a Car, Generate Art, Screw Copyrights" it's kind of hypocritical to stay on an instance if you don't believe in or are aggressively against its principles. Like it wouldn't make sense for someone to be a member of the piracy instance if they believe that piracy is wrong and intellectual property should be respected, similar thing goes for the AI instance. That might sound like a wrong comparison but the vast majority of anti-AI arguments I hear people barf up are along the lines of "we need to respect copyright" and "stealing intellectual property is wrong" "won't someone think of the ~~children~~ artists".

Then why are you on Lemmy's leading AI friendly instance created by the guy who makes the AIhorde? Seems kind of like a conflict of interest...

I mean I agree with you if we're talking about openAI, but not so much if we're talking about lower end models meant to be self-hosted. In that case it's not really much different from putting people down for gaming or other GPU heavy operations, and at that point we're just fully leaning into the carbon footprint propaganda.

I hope you aren't going to argue how other people should be allowed to use their own GPUs, that would be very ironic considering your name, @NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io

I mean if people use a self-hosted model on their own GPU that's really their prerogative how they choose to use their GPU and the energy it uses.

Lol you are so out of touch with reality, trans people are real and have existed for as long as humanity has. We have records of people in ancient societies who are believed to be what we consider nowadays to be transgender (i.e. being AMAB but being buried in a women's burial position and burial site) and ironically many of them were respected and honored in those cultures (which is why we even know in the first place).

Also Two-Spirit is a Native American identity, it was added because there are indigenous people who identify that way and deserve to be seen. The fact that you are putting it and them down shows how little you actually care.

I’m open minded

You are not what anyone would consider open-minded, you just spent two paragraphs putting down transgender people and denying the existence and identities of native American people who are two-spirit. You can consider yourself open-minded but that doesn't make it so.

but not SO open minded that my brain is falling out.

ha haha HAHAHAHA.That's so ironic because this transphobic rant you posted indicates that this has already happened long ago. That's what happens when you fill your head with whatever it was that led you to write two and a half paragraphs of this transphobic garbage.

AirVPN seems really good, I liked Mullvad but unfortunately they dropped port forwarding which really ruined them as a VPN service for Torrenting.
