I am not going to dive into the back and forth on piracy. I have a side, you can guess what it is.
But I will say one thing: if you get the books from your library, you're still not paying for it and the author does get compensated.

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

I truly, deeply hope that every one of you out there reading this has warm, dry shelter and a full belly tonight. It's so heartbreaking to think of how many out there don't. The chain reaction to cruelty the likes of which we're witnessing goes so far up the chain. I hope you are all spared from it.

Apparently, it’s black cat appreciation day today!
Here are two of my overlords
Yoru (wearing the leash) is a feisty 14 year old male who is battling cancer
Miu (short for Mjolnir) is a giant 2 year old male who prefers quiet
Both are rescues 🥰 The cat distribution system has been kind to us

Cannot express enough appreciation for the teams *flying through a hurricane* while not being paid.
NOAA hurricane hunters flying aboard a P-3 Orion aircraft ("Kermit") are monitoring Hurricane Melissa as most aircraft steer clear. The storm poses a catastrophic threat to Jamaica and Haiti.
The crew are among the many federal workers working without pay during the US government shutdown.

I've heard voice actors talk about this, but I think it's true of any work.
Working for free on fan stuff is fine & fun. But don't work for free on pro stuff. Don't offer to work for nothing. It sends the message that you don't value yourself enough, & your work on official products are worthless.
