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, @[email protected]

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.

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

Because they still think they aren’t and want to pretend they aren’t, they believe the law is on their side and they don’t have it in them to lie to a court and/or falsify evidence that they did do it “clean room” and betray the law which they believe is on their side. Even though it actually isn’t and probably never unless people get fed up enough to do what’s necessary.

No you didn’t but the main reason people get the wrong impression that downloading is legal is that it mostly goes unpunished and is very hard to enforce.

Not true, unpunished or hard to enforce doesn’t mean it is legal.
