   Did you realize that we live in a reality where SciHub is illegal, and OpenAI is not?

     @yabellini@fosstodon.org I don't know whether it's appropriate to say but I just keep thinking "they killed Aaron Swartz for allegedly trying to give people access to science _they've funded_ and they've given 5 billion to Sam Altman for stealing from everyone"
     
     I'm not surprised but for some reason I just can't stop thinking it. I hate it. I hate it so much. They crushed him even though apparently there was a strong indication that what he was doing wasn't even illegal.

     @yabellini so we can make scihub legal by turning it into a public LLM service :thonking:

     @yabellini OpenAI is almost certainly illegal if you actually read and apply the law as written and intended, while scihub almost certainly isn't.

     @yabellini@fosstodon.org Yes, I did. I've been screaming for copyright reforms for at least 20 years.
