    Hating all AI universally is a bit silly though, especially models like AlphaFold, which have saved lots of lives with the work it and its creators have done.

    I’m glad we’re in agreement about this. I don’t like corporate AI like openAI or Anthropic because they are corporate monsters who only desire money and power, and who ultimately will screw us over in the end.

    I don’t agree entirely though with the idea about copyright respect and all that jazz as I’m a pirate through and through and pirating training data to train a local AI is no different to me than pirating movies, TV, or Music. I don’t have a lot of sympathy for pro-copyright sentiment due to the fact that it’s really fake ownership of physical ideas, and gatekeeping who can access them. Copyrights aren’t owned the way you can own pants, piracy doesn’t steal from you and I refuse to call copyright piracy theft.

    AIs really should be open-source and self-hostable, if the Replika incident taught me anything it’s that something like this should be in your control, they will screw you over for money otherwise. Whether you get permission or pirate the material is really up to you honestly.
