YouTube wants me to sign in to prove I'm not a bot and to "protect the community". Yet Google has bots crawling all over for their AI.

  Exactly. Intellectual property only applies to corporations. As soon as it’s an individual’s, it’s fair game it seems.

  Meta even got caught illegally downloading books via torrents and using those as training material for A.I.

  You know what would be fair, seeing as that A.I. is trained on the collective knowledge of everyone that has added content to the Internet? All A.I. models trained on public data should be free to use for everyone.

    And I bet Meta didn’t even properly seed it while they downloaded…

      Previously, a Meta executive in charge of project management, Michael Clark, had testified that Meta allegedly modified torrenting settings “so that the smallest amount of seeding possible could occur,”

    And every single company that created the models should be fined 100 billion for what they stole.

    Remember, its 250,000, per song you pirate that the gov can nail you for. So 100 billion per company seems fair to me. Maybe it should be more.

  I report dozens of bot accounts on meta every month (actually slowed a bit recently). 80-90% of the time they take no action and leave the account up.

    YouTube comments are insane, any popular channel has several obvious bit posts within minutes. They all use the same words, emojis, and profile pictures. They all have actual porn in their profiles. It would be incredibly easy to stop, but google doesn’t give a shit about their user’s safety.

  I once went to set some IT stuff up at a large tabloid company’s office.

  Their security was nuts. Gates and badges and goons everywhere.

  Because they’re allowed to invade your privacy and bother you, but you are absolutely not allowed to return the favour.
