The GP was talking about web scraping, not "excessive web scraping". It's an important difference.

This is a good soundbite but doesn't make sense. The Internet Archive had to pay for redistributing copyrighted materials. Anthropic just paid too. (Note: redistributing != training)

Maybe we should give machines rights, then.

Yes. Or download it legally (e.g. web content not behind a paywall).

> OP has extensive history in the piracy subreddits and believes piracy is not theft. OP sounds awesome. Thanks for the recommendation!

On the contrary, it is people who attempt to restrict the flow of information who cannot win this war. You have to win every single time. The pirates will only have to win once, and information shall be free.

Interesting to see how much more pro-copyright (and less hacker-like) HackerNews has gotten since then. It's sad.

Do you, or anyone supporting this comment, have adblock installed? The same argument applies. Don't be a hypocrite.

Yes, we can share, thank you

I don't find it particularly unusual. With the caveat that the political compass is a huge oversimplification: Auth right: proprietary software Auth left: code of conduct (since it's not particularly anarchist; it clearly defines

What does bypassing AI preferences mean? Just ignoring them?

Love that this website is public domain. Thank you, Brendan!

This is the social solution. It's making users aware of the issue and pressuring them to not upgrade, and in the long run pressuring legislators to forbid such monopolistic practices if the average person dislikes it.

I think this depends on the ATM. OCBC ones do allow sending money digitally. Oh, and you can always send money by withdrawing cash and giving it to the other person physically. Or go to the bank branch, or write a cheque.

This problem is getting worse too, as more and more businesses become "cashless only".

by 1gn15 1y ago
Yep! Thanks for helping me put my points across better. It's like having a separate work computer, for example. Okay, I guess more to the point, I don't want the banking app forcing the OS that I use. They can provide their own da

With this logic, CloudFlare should also get into the business of blocking adblock users. Imagine getting detected from using adblock, and you get IP-banned from CloudFlare-"protected" websites for the next week or something. (Plea

Or, more fundamentally: DMCA is ruining the internet for everyone.

Also, use ATMs if you can instead. Don't use propietary code on your own machine; run it on theirs instead.

It's not possible to steal code, since the original author still has it.

That would be great, actually. AGPL for everything.

Speak for yourself. This is just the semantic web: a web not built just for humans, but also for robots or any other types of agents that may wish to build upon the data. User agents never meant just web browsers, and operators blocking bas

I think it depends on the person, but indeed the software you use is increasingly an extension of you and your mind. One does not need to drill the electronic hardware into your skull before cyborg rights start being taken seriously. Also,

Sure, as long as it doesn't discriminate against user agents.

GPL doesn't care if you use it for profit or not (good), it just says that the resultant model needs to be open too. And open models exist in droves nowadays. Even closed models can be distilled into open ones.

by 1gn15 1y ago
Yes, it is an unreasonable and absurd ask. You cannot want freedom while restricting it. You forget that it is people that use AI agents, essentially, being cyborgs. To restrict this use case is to be discriminatory against cyborgs, and thu
