end-users are rarely prosecuted or sued over piracy so idk why corporations wouldn't get the same deal.
this is a big nothingburger if you wanna be honest.
piracy is much like drugs, where the occasional dealer gets nabbed if they're too ostentatious but otherwise things just go on and on and on and on.
Warning! ⚠️ do not consume!
See the real loophole is that I have de-registered myself as a conscious observer. In the eyes of the government, I have never seen a movie, or watched a TV show, or listened to an album.
For legal purposes: I am not a person, I am a meat popsicle. I am a corporate asset however, so don't get any ideas: I still have plenty of rights. More than people, at least.
Does that person explain what exactly they mean by "breaking confinement" resp "escaping sandboxing" and how it happened?
Yeah. “Breaking confinement” = confines broken.
Someone give this person a congressional hearing and billions of dollars to burn
I mean it’s OK - you’re not copying it, you’re using it to train an intelligence.
Yes, my own personal human intelligence. I promise training it will bring value to me and the community.
Even better: Your advancement is critical to ensure the American intelligence industry doesn’t fall behind.
Government: We are inclined to support your cause, but unfortunately, doing so will require annoying little things known as healthcare and worker rights. Denied.
it will bring value to [...] the community.
I'm inclined to find this more believable than similiar statements of all the usual AI suspects.
I just need a few more billion and it'll become profitable, I swear.
Just feed it to an AI, that makes it OK. I think having a local speech model on your phone in the same room with you while watching should be sufficient.
I have this new AI tool. Free and open source, model and all, and extremely CPU-efficient. Basically you feed it the training data (like some New York Times articles, but it can be any text or binary), and it can produce a 1:1 output when prompted. I call it "copi"; can I get my five trillion tax dollars now?
This new tool is very efficient as you can use it on your own phone, even with a small amount of RAM. It's called VLC, you train it in real time with "open-source FLAC or Opus files" and you get instant results.

The Jellyfin instance, which normally just plays Ubuntu and other distro ISOs, of course.
It was normally used to rewatch home movies.
I too stream Linux ISOs via my Jellyfin. My family enjoys it as well.
Mom can we watch 'GRUB Not Found' again?
DVD/Blu-Ray rips are legal in some countries if you don't distribute them
Oh yeah, that's totally what my Jellyfin instance is made of. Rips that I don't distribute. 👍 Very good definition!
You can also have open-source songs like the GNU/hackers one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sJUDx7iEJw
There is only one song though.
I hope this is not against rules 4 and 6, but... I fear it might be?
If you want me to remove the post just tell me (or report it to the mods, of course).
I'm only sharing this because I found it very funny :)
It is fun of course, or people don't have a sense of humor.
Maybe they just added a whole new feature in a update. An aggressive magnet grabber.
