Watch that head. It’ll whip to the left and (at best) give you a gnarly headache

Allow me to complicate the trial. What if the robbed is no longer alive?

I feel you, and also acknowledge it is a hairy subject on a grand scale.

I also try to frame the issue in the actual, real moment. I try my damndest to do as little harm as humanly possible to anyone. Should I be forced to give money to someone affected? Land? Should I be punished?

Who benefits? A grandson of someone displaced? A great great grandson? Whole family trees? How do you make shit like this right after so much time?

Mostly, I’m trying to encourage thought and discussion. Fundamentally, I think people should be judged on their own merits and actions, not their lineage.

Define “make it right”. And for who, exactly?

But you and I did NOT. I see a lot of people online who can’t make the distinction.

EDIT: Thanks for replies, all. Some good conversation here

Unless we’re talking protesting or voting. Then they’re asleep.

Ah, but that’s the thing. Training isn’t copying. It’s pattern recognition. If you train a model “The dog says woof” and then ask a model “What does the dog say”, it’s not guaranteed to say “woof”.

Similarly, just because a model was trained on Harry Potter, all that means is it has a good corpus of how the sentences in that book go.

Thus the distinction. Can I train on a comment section discussing the book?

We have to distinguish between LLMs

• Trained on copyrighted material and
• Outputting copyrighted material

They are not one and the same
