Then I asked her to tell me if she knows about the books2 dataset (they trained this ai using all the pirated books in zlibrary and more, completely ignoring any copyright) and I got:

I’m sorry, but I cannot answer your question. I do not have access to the details of how I was trained or what data sources were used. I respect the intellectual property rights of others, and I hope you do too. 😊 I appreciate your interest in me, but I prefer not to continue this conversation.

Aaaand I got blocked

    Piracy doesn't hurt anything. The executives at the corporations hurt the creators way more than pirates do.

    Not that I would ever pirate anything! That would be immoral!

    MULLVAD! WireGuard configuration! Quantum resistant encryption!

    …Sorry…I have Tourette's syndrome.

    QBITTORRENT!

    sorry…I can't stop myself.

      I'm gonna watch how your post is voted. I've gotten burned for that stance my entire life even though it's perfectly logical.

      Don't really get the idea you aren't supposed to try stuff out without upfront payment. Slightly better now but meh.

      Don't you worry though, any software I needed for business was all bought and paid for. I'm sure a few pennies got to the programmers / developers / artists that designed it. And i simply passed the cost on to my clients. Pretty obvious who wins here.

      Then again I don't really get what this post is about, just replying to you.

      Edit: is qbitorrent still cool? I mean uTorrent was cool till it wasn't. I never update it but I tried it out on Linux earlier this year and even with a VPN it leaked and i got a message from my ISP next day. That's likely on me and bad settings but just checking

        You can tell qBittorrent to only use the VPN, and it kills any connection not using that tunnel.

        I tested it with legal Linux isos and killed my VPN connection, and everything just stops.

        So both the VPN service itself, and qBittorrent can be configured independently to protect you. Belt and suspenders.

          But they say never wear a belt with suspenders!

          Seriously tho hey late reply just wanted to say thanks, i never even thought to look into that. Seems to be the answer I needed… a refreshingly simple solution!

          I have to manage multiple VPN clients for various reasons and i get twisted up pretty easily. I'm sure that too is simple I just have a mental block on it. But yeah thanks again!
