    I find it pretty hilarious to bitch about AI stealing all your public posts and content and then post something like this where it’s no problem to be a pirate.

    I’ve got nothing against torrenting stuff, but leaning in on “if you didn’t own it then piracy isn’t stealing” and also “LLM companies stole from us!” when you made a reddit account allowing it is just super rich.

    This is not for "you"specifically OP, but "you"generally.

      The problem is that this is just another instance of “laws are for the poor”, it’s a systemic problem (capitalism, as always).

        Fine, then the argument goes like “I’m not allowed to do this so neither are you”. It is super hypocritical to say “I’m taking your shit and it’s totally justified but you can’t take mine surprised Pikachu”.

        Fairness SHOULD cut both ways and so should self awareness. I’ll take the downvotes for being the one to point it out, but being pissed your reddit and GitHub stuff got scraped (and if you presumed you owned it in the first place, which is laughable) is wildly hypocritical if you sail the high seas and think it’s totally fine.
