Reminder that Aaron Swartz was facing 35 years in prison and financial devastation for trying to programmatically download and open the contents of JSTOR, which led to him taking his own life. But OpenAI is going to scrape all of academia and make billions by plagiarizing it.

And here I thought sharing scientific knowledge and making it accessible to the general public was a good thing.

His crime, in the eyes of the system, was not the taking, but to try and make these things freely available. For another large entity to steal and charge more in turn is merely the proper functioning of our Hobbesian nightmare version of Capitalism, which Adam Smith would disavow in a heartbeat.

This call out sings to my heart. And it also breaks it. Thank you. Apparently reality is a tragedy.

That's true but AI can't be inferior on purpose, that isn't safe and OpenAI won't have a monopoly on AI, even if Sam Altam were to become the M$FT CEO. Fuck I hate that company.

Amend the terms of use so “if any AI uses content from this site without a license first being obtained the owners and users of said AI hereby agree to pay $10 per day for each and every 1kb of data until such data is permanently deleted and the associated AI learning removed from the model”.

I was making this comparison just the other day to my wife. Absolutely unconscionable actions by the prosecutors in the Swartz case and complete silence when it comes to blatant violations of the law by these grifters.

If it’s not patented and it’s on the internet, it’s fair game to me. I’ve read a ton of stuff and used it to make money. I have no problem having these companies help me read the web.

I think these are pretty different situations though. It's not clear to me that OpenAI will be scraping paywalled articles for future GPT models. And GPT-3 was trained on common crawl, which is entirely free and open to the public
