If it's OK to encode it in your natural neural net, why is it not OK to put it in your artificial one?

It's the same distinction as making a backup copy of a movie to your hard drive vs. redistributing it to other parties.

You mean like free speech for concepts and ideas? It's OK to think them but not to tell other people about them? LLMs are another media of thought exchange, in some ways worse and others better. Of course it's out of bounds from them to produce literal copies of copyrighted work. But as with a human brain it should be OK for artificial neural nets to learn from them and generate new work.

Because the humans involved have decided they don't want that.

This.

You can anthropomorphize all you want, but AI is not a human and the law will not see it as such.

Let's talk after you've read all hacker news comments. Meet back here in a thousand years?

I hired a company called OpenAI to do it for me. They're done, and brand new comments are also in its search, at least within a few minutes, try it. Is now good?

These modern brain prosthetics are darn good.

But they are not doing it for free. It's not like if you are on a paid account that they remove the HN portion of the training data that is used.

For a forum of users that's supposed to be smarter than Reddit users, we sure do make our selves out to be just as unsmart as those Reddit users are purported. To not be able to understand the intent/meaning of "for commercial use" is just mind boggling to the point it has to be intentional. The purpose is what I'm still unclear though

Now you're just changing the argument. The mental copy of HN you have, besides being incomplete, is not copyable or resaleable.

Well I guess that lines up. With that line of reasoning I have zero issue believing you outsourced your reading to them. You clearly aren't getting your money's worth.
