Without clicking the link, that headline is tough to unpack.

The “peer” that reviewed it was another LLM.

I may or may not have been pirating media for over 20 years and this song and dance will never end.

Sure, the well known torrent sites have marginally less content and seeds than before but my Plex server may or may not still be packed full of classics and the latest releases.

The above may or may not be purely fictional and victimless. And no, I wouldn’t “steal a handbag.” Handbags aren’t infinite digital replicas, and handbag owners don’t drive supercars.

(I draw the line at software largely due to the risks, and partly due to Mac apps and Adobe suite being locked down pretty well. I’m happy to pay for software regardless. Netflix and Amazon on the other hand…)

Also, the ignorance regarding VPNs.

We need it as a country.

We need it as a world.

As a Mac user, in an LLM world, text editors are King.

I couldn’t do my job anymore without them.

Oddly enough, pirated ebooks are a malware minefield. And hard to find.

That said, I have about 8000.

Thing is, you obviously can become reasonably wealthy by following the first chart, if you’re talented and 1 in 10 thousand lucky, whereas the second chart has a significant success rate.

The mega rich are too weak-willed to concede they’ve essentially hit a 1 in 60 million Powerball. Winning the lottery warrants glee, not pride.

Billionaires all exploit the working class—or at the very least they all inherently rely on its occurrence, without exception.

I’d add a third slice to the second pie: steal your way there.

That would certainly benefit my Plex server setup

I’ve been paying $5pm for family premium for years.

It couldn’t last forever, I guess.

I accept this.

I was being mildly sarcastic, not antagonistic

Whereas you have no issue with people who agree with you having to experience war?

$5 a month and you can share with 5 other users. That’s 90c per person. Why would anyone not have YouTube premium?
