No, I pointed out that your attempt to straw man my comment was so overly broad that it also describes collecting child pornography. Why not engage specifically with what I'm saying?

What didn’t they engage with?

It’s really hard to parse this thread because you and the other gentleman keep telling anyone who engages they aren’t engaging.

You both seem worked up and perceiving others as disagreeing with you wholesale on the very concept that AI companies could be forced to compensate people for training data, and morally injuring you.

Your conduct to a point, but especially their conduct, goes far beyond what I’m used to on HN. I humbly suggest you decouple yourself a bit from them, you really did go too far with the slavery bit, and it was boorish to then make child porn analogy.

If you believe my conduct here is inappropriate, feel free to alert the mods. I think it's pretty obvious why describing someone's objections to AI training data as "storing the result of an HTTP GET" is not a good faith engagement.

It’s not clear from anything either of you have written what the difference is between “AI training data” and “storing the result of an HTTP GET [and matmul’ing it]” is.

All we have is an exquisite, thoughtful, nuanced, analogy of how it is exactly like America enslaving Black people in the 1800s. i.e. a cheap appeal to morality.

Then, it is followed by repeated brow-beating comment to anyone who replied, complaining something wasn’t being engaged with.

What exactly wasn’t being engaged with?

It is still unclear.

Do feel free to share, or apologize even. It’s understandable you went a bit too far because you really do feel it’s the same as slavers in the 1800s in America, what’s not understandable is complaining no one is engaging correctly.
