IIUC, the question at hand is: does training require a special, separate, license or can you legally acquire a work and then use it for training? I.E. Anthropic can not pirate a bunch of books and then use those for training, but it can leg

To be fair, my understanding of these arguments is that they’re about deltas and not about raw numbers. I don’t agree with them, but I don’t think it was the raw compute power as much as it was maintaining the _delta_ in compute power.

It’s the other way around - for secure environments there is an approved device list. If your device is not on that list, it does not go in. There is also an approved human list. And the approved humans carry responsibility and consequence

I also broadly agree with you're sentiment But re: kagi specifically, for me personally, the delta is obvious and isn't trust based. When I use Kagi I have a curated search experience that has a relatively high information density
