          They stated they didn’t break piracy laws because they downloaded a shitload of books for their LLM and didn’t seed any.

          Torrents are downloaded by “leeches” and put out for download by “seeders”

          A proper ratio of what you downloaded to what you allow others to download should be 1:1 if you’re not a dick. (1gb downloaded means you need to upload 1gb to other users for 1:1) but if you don’t seed at ALL or if you only seed bare minimum to keep downloading things, you’re called a Leech, and derogatorily. Because you didn’t seed.

          So they’re stating “we didn’t break the law, we’re just leeches!”

            I’ve run into an issue lately where nearly everything I torrent is from IA, who has 2 webseeds. I can sit there seeding for weeks and still be at a 0.0 ratio

    I mean, to be fair, the executive team writes 90% of the code. All the other employees are basically lazy and useless if it weren’t for the execs dragging them along.

    It’s sarcasm, stupid.

    Zuckerberg said on Joe Rogan that he wants more “masculine energy workplace”, where the leaders “celebrate aggression a bit more”. Makes sense he was talking about executive boots all over office worker faces.

    I’ve been wondering where to ask - maybe here is the right place - when the economy tanks, social security is gone and all, isn’t that bad for the oligarchs? I mean a significant reduction in income means lower tax revenues, no tax revenues reduces government contracts, nobody has money to spend on anything - it seems this is bad for oligarch business.
