AI bros will happily spend a billion dollars for GPUs and electricity but would rather hammer hobbyist sites than pay 10grands to book publishers :acat_confused:

@iska Book publishers would want a hell of a lot more than 10 grand.
They just hammer every single site on the internet to try and get more input text, to try to make the LLM output better - even though doing so is futile, as once you've inputted pretty much all works into the copying machine, inserting duplicated works and slop just makes the output worse.
