Alternatively, on the left is what the users originally asked for, a double cheeseburger. On the right, representing what is eventually delivered after changes in requirements are incorporated, is a deep dish pizza.
You misunderstood. I said the public availability does not grant OpenAI the right to use content improperly. The authors should also sue the party who leaked their works without license.
I'd love to know the source for the works that were allegedly violated. Presuming OpenAI didn't scour zlib/libgen for the books, where on the net were the cleartext copies of their writings stored?
Being stored in cleartext publicly on the net does not grant OpenAI the right to misuse their art, but the authors need to go after the entity that leaked their works.
Admins paid off? That's absurd. Lemmy.world are taking a moderate wait-and-see approach. I disagree with that stance, but to insinuate they are corrupt because they aren't as reactionary as you are is ridiculous.
I'm unaware of hardware requirements, but specs will entirely depend on how many users and communities (local and federated) an instance has. I'm running on a very small VPS with no current desire to add users.
I've tried very hard, but I can't seem to muster any tears for a site tracking company.
