'Meta Torrented over 81 TB of Data Through Anna's Archive, Despite Few Seeders' * TorrentFreak
-
Calling property labor, doesn't make you a socialist.
-
TPB and 1337x are torrents, whereas Anna’s Archive typically uses direct downloads. So it’s more akin to the old CoolROMs back before the massive takedown purges.

In all fairness, meta should be assessed a fee of 250k per EACH pirated work.
This would amount to forfeiting all assets to doge.

Facebook: I’ll just
torrent what I needburden your underfunded project and volunteers with over 81 TB of bandwidth costs without contributing anything in return, see yaaFTFY

Nope. Get fucked

If someone was to acquire a few hundred gigs of books and feed them to something like paperless-ngx, would it work as a sort of google of books? Are there any software projects better suited for doing thisand understand synonyms and perhaps some context? I guess AI search but guided for the intermediate user.
Google is so bad lately. Basically every result is official sponsored corporate biased BS. It would be nice to be able to instantly query a bunch of ebooks.

If the existence of open source LLMs hinges on the benevolence of one of the few most cancerous tech companies in the world, maybe they're not really worth it?
This isn't about "heroes" and "villains". Facebook has been and has stayed the "villain", they've done something colossally illegal that any mere mortal would be sued to death for (by an another "villainous" instance, the media system that has made piracy a necessity in the first place), and they're hoping to get away with it simply on technicalities and by having more money for better lawyers. Rules are rules, if you don't like them maybe Facebook should try to change them (and not just for themselves, but for the rest of us too)?

Where is the source content then

Rules for thee, not for me

Average ebook size: 2.5 MB or so.
Meta downloaded 81 TB, or 81,000,000 MB.
81,000,000 / 2.5 = Approx 30 million books.
30,000,000 books * $250,000 per offence = $7.5 trillion
(are you sure you're from programming.dev?)

Yes. This exactly.
-
You’re confusing libleft with left.
-
You’re confusing self entitlement to stuff with the left.
-
Lolwut? Public good is self-entitlement? Go read a fucking book. Communists are not pro-copyright, especially not when it only benefits the giant corpos.
-
That must have touched a sensitive spot lol.
-
No. Seriously, why do you want to call yourself a socialist?

20 was the lead engineer 'mishearing' Zuck after he said 2.
-
I support FOSS LLMs, but which actually exist? Which LLMs have open-sourced all their training data?
-
The existence hinges on the rewriting and strengthening of copyright laws by data brokers and other cancerous tech companies. It's not Meta vs us, but Meta and us vs Google and Openai.
They are being sued for copyright infringement when it's clearly highly transformative. The rules are fine as is, Meta isn't the one trying to change them. You seem to imply I should go against my own interests and support frivolous lawsuits that will negatively impact me just because Meta is a boogeyman.
-
Just gotta love these big tech companies and their bullshit double standards.
