It’s more akin to “stand your ground” laws (whether you’re for or against them). In situations where you reasonably fear for your life, like surrounded by an angry mob of people in the street busting up your car.

It’s not a blank check to run over people holding signs you don’t like as you drive home from work.

Many jurisdictions have laws against carrying blades longer than X (it varies) and any reasonable definition of a sword would fall under that category.

In the US at least automatic weapons are nominally legal at the federal level after hefty tax stamps and background checks but states / local jurisdictions can and do regulate more / outright ban them.

For now.

> They don't want abusive behavior included in their training corpus

I don't think swearing at or otherwise getting into pissing matches with an LLM is the best use of ones time but given most of these AI companies trained on a corpus that includes reddit of all things this argument falls flat.

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."

> Everyone is tracked, but only certain people are watched.

The "only certain people are watched" hinges on pinky swears, winks, and nods. IMO it's a distinction without a difference.

Untrue. It adds a great amount of value to 'ole Zuck's ego.

I say this in jest, but at the rate inflation has been going $16k per year might buy you a hamburger in 10 years.

Do you use it with multiple cats? I know they advertise it that way but I'm curious where the rubber meets the pavement.

> feel better about themselves by doing “something”.

"The real friends are the clicks and attention you receive along the way."

Yeah? And what are they going to do about it, exactly?

These AI companies have already been caught red handed stealing content to train their models and the courts blessed it. On a scale that would have landed you or I in prison.

It’s just “Too big to fail” by another name.

> Feels crazy to me for people to use anything other than the best available.

Not everyone has unlimited budgets to burn on tokens.

The Atlantic aligns politically with people who do not align politically with Musk. It’s just red meat for their readers.

Believe it or not most people don’t like being sold a bill of goods.

It’s not our fault these technology companies (and others) have managed to capture the legal system to the point they can redefine words to mean the exact opposite of what they’ve always meant by trick of “terms of service” or some fine print printed on the bottom of a refrigerator in the basement somewhere.
