   The argument that LLMs are stealing is a crap argument

   The internet has always been radio: unless you take special measures to exclude categories of observers, you are broadcasting publicly. If you don't want to share some information publicly, you don't broadcast or you make the effort to discriminate who can and can't see and learn from content.*

   However, the argument that LLMs require far too much energy and water relative to their utility is extremely good. Cancerous software will kill us

     I'm not going to pretend intellectual property rights aren't an elaborate legal hoax akin to enclosing the commons. The original sin is using authority of law to empower wealthy capitalists to build moats around their factories with other people's land

     And I don't have to

     Because there's plenty of evidence we'll starve to death if we accommodate the exponential growth of bullshit generators. Unmitigated emissions leading to global warming leading to global ecocide is elementary school science
