People are acting like ChatGPT is storing the entire Harry Potter series in its neural net somewhere. It’s not storing or reproducing text in a 1:1 manner from the original material. Certain material, like very popular books, has likely been interpreted tens of thousands of times due to how many times it was reposted online (and therefore how many times it appeared in the training data).

Just because it can recite certain passages almost perfectly doesn’t mean it’s redistributing copyrighted books. How many quotes do you know perfectly from books you’ve read before? I would guess quite a few. LLMs are doing the same thing, but on mega steroids with a nearly limitless capacity for information retention.

Do apps really install the moment you press the button on Android? On iPhone you have to confirm through Face ID or by entering your passcode first.

(Make sure you’re doing this all behind a VPN)

I don’t personally trust the free streaming sites. I torrent the bare mp4 or mkv file because I can just play it on my own computer without worrying about malware or being tracked.

There are multiple mirrors for The Pirate Bay, just search it on your favorite search engine and they should come up. At least one of them always works. There’s also sites like 1337x, among other free trackers. (RIP RARBG, you’ll always live in our hearts)

There’s also private trackers that are a lot easier to get into than others.

Wow, do this many people really not get the reference? I thought it was funny

Someone already suggested bringing it to the cops earlier in this thread

I’ve always mounted network shares in fstab, what’s the benefit to doing it with systemd?

(Also, for those of you learning, this method only works on systemd-based distros)

Windscribe. Prices are great, unlimited bandwidth, and 1Gbps servers for no additional cost. They have a free tier as well. They’re very privacy focused. Been a customer of theirs for probably like 5-6 years now.

Or as I’ve discovered recently while troubleshooting local infrastructure, the ARP table. Essentially the DNS of IP addressing

I’m glad you’re able to predict when an emergency might happen and then your location on in advance. Most people don’t have this superpower.

The only torrents available thus far are cam rips. Most people are waiting for an encode or remux to come out.

Not understanding why someone would give their family and friends access to their location in case of an emergency really is a peak internet moment

It’s wild to see people in the piracy community of all places have an issue with someone benefiting from data they got online for free.
