> They participated in uploading the files as part of the downloading the torrent from other peers. Did they? Are you sure?

No, only in some instances maybe, they were mostly leechers.

Thank you

Meta argued in court that yes, they did upload when torrenting > Meta’s reasoning is straightforward. Anyone who uses BitTorrent to transfer files automatically uploads content to other people, as it is inherent to the protocol. In other words, the uploading wasn’t a choice, it was simply how the technology works. https://torrentfreak.com/uploading-pirated-books-via-bittorr...

I wonder which murderer will use that argument: "it wasn't my choice to shoot the person, it's just intrinsic to the technology that when pulling the trigger, the pistol fires"

Almost a good reply, but Baldwin tried saying he did not pull the trigger. ( Nobody believed him. )

>and the DOJ has done nothing against the AI companies and their IP violating antics. For good reason. Courts have so far ruled AI training is fair use, and it doesn't look likely to be overturned by the supreme court. Theres also the matter of some labs pirating books to get training data, which is illegal (they lost in civil court), but it's unclear whether that can be criminally prosecuted.

The supreme irony that they're now trying to peg distillation as illegal.

It makes sense when you think AI is seen by the government as a strategic asset. They'll want it to progress unhampered, but also don't want other nations/actors to catch up.

It won’t happen, but if it did the CEOs have no one but themselves to blame. They’re hyping up their products as being able to destroy the human race then are somehow surprised at the level of anti-AI sentiment out there in the world.

You hit the proverbial nail on the head there!

> Mandami have never run a business, or worked for a business, and it shows. In record-high approval ratings, multiple reforms supported by small businesses, and fast progress on many huge initiatives?

What happened to the free busses? And his unsustainable budget?

What happened to the remaining 39 months of his term? Are you saying he should've instantly fulfilled every campaign promise the moment he took office?

Khan has never been employed by a business nor ever run a business. She's never had to meet a payroll, nor prepared a P&L statement. Her entire career has been spent in research, academia, public policy, and government oversight.

God forbid someone focuses their work on the public good.
