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.
