ISPs tell Supreme Court they don’t want to disconnect users accused of piracy (arstechnica.com)

Four more large Internet service providers told the US Supreme Court this week that ISPs shouldn't be forced to aggressively police copyright infringement on broadband networks.

While the ISPs worry about financial liability from lawsuits filed by major record labels and other copyright holders, they also argue that mass terminations of Internet users accused of piracy "would harm innocent people by depriving households, schools, hospitals, and businesses of Internet access." The legal question presented by the case "is exceptionally important to the future of the Internet," they wrote in a brief filed with the Supreme Court on Monday.

There are a number of open models.

The complaint is not with the consumer grade home rolled models.

As far as I can tell, this community hates open models just as much as any others. Some seem to hate them even more. That's the point about this "nightshade" tool.

Perhaps they're confusing "open model" with "OpenAI" which is more of a misnomer given it's increasingly cloistered state.

But I tend to see people angry at the massive waste of resources in the enormous privatized patches of turf. Grok, for instance, fucking up a low income community in Mississippi with it's fleet of gas generators.

That's what's so depressing about lemmy. People convince me that there is some genuine issue that should be addressed. The mob grabs torches and pitchforks and goes to demand that... Money be given to rich people instead of changing anything. It certainly makes you understand why the world is as it is and that it will only become more so.
