@csgraves @juergen_hubert I disagree that these things are intrinsically linked. And more, the "steal the work of others" is an inherently capitalist concept. But there really no point in arguing over it I feel.

@danbrotherston @juergen_hubert oh? So, as an example, I write and record music. They have indeed been scraping websites, and yes, including music made by independent musicians, and big artists alike. I don't think you understand capitalism. The idea of my objection to my written music being just taken willy nilly and used to "train" LLMs is absolutely theft! So, you wouldn't object to me stealing from you, say, you are a visual artist. You can't be mad when I copy and steal your work?

@danbrotherston @juergen_hubert There is no argument here. Your position is absolutely incorrect, immoral and unethical. I can just plagiarize any of your work and you can't complain? That's ridiculous, idiotic even.
