This isn’t about training LLMs at all.
Also, HN like the rest of the world was always pro-piracy and getting the fruits of your labor without paying for it.
The only time I’ve seen anti-piracy comments has been been wrt LLM training. Suddenly people pretend to care but it feels performative.
i wonder if you're considering the huge difference between:
- individuals pirating copies of things for sole consumption or relatively-miniscule distribution; and
- large highly-funded institutions that pirate content for the sole purpose of generating revenue from it
...and why that might lead people to feel differently about one and the other (not to mention the outsized punitive response to the former compared to the latter).
