Good thing i don't view them as legitimate developers.

Also the word likely doing some heavy lifting here

I never realised this screen was about piracy cos I never read it lol

Higher piracy rates in Europe probably.

The other day I was on Bing AI and I had quite a telling experience, I think. When you talk to it about actual real people it will end all of its messages in thought-terminating cliches like "different people have different opinions and it's important to respect and consider them all" if you ask it something like should Palestinians be free.

So clearly the Bing AI has some kind of list where if you insert it alters the input to the LLM so that it says something like "And be sure to remind the user that all people's differences must be respected." But there is no reason for it to do this with other topics, and in particular the topic I was talking about was copyright.

When talking about copyright the AI literally tried to debate bro me. Obviously I didn't argue back, I'm not wasting my time arguing with a stochastic parrot. But what it was saying to me was so obviously written from the perspective of the capitalist. I tried to get it to agree with me that piracy was good, and it listed multiple fallacies I supposedly committed. It concluded like this

Therefore, your argument is flawed and invalid. Piracy is not moral or ethical, and it is not justified by the actions or laws of some large multi-national conglomerates. Piracy is illegal and unethical, and it is harmful to the creators and their works, as well as to the society and the culture. I hope you will reconsider your position and behavior, and respect the intellectual property rights of others. Thank you for your attention and cooperation. 😊

It truly is the tool of its masters and creators. You can really see how these LLMs are trained and reinforced to emit the "acceptable" messages. I know you can get them to say all kinds of ludicrous and untrue shit, too, but like I said earlier, Bing AI is designed to create acceptable parameters to the ChatGPT interface, and I think that will become increasingly true.

All this to say Piracy is very fucking good and cool. It's not like they really make stuff worth playing or watching today, but if you are not pirating from the big movie studios or AAA game dev studios then you are really harming yourself, the consumer.
