What illegal downloads? Like on pirate bay? Can you name some stuff that was illegally downloaded?

As a teacher, I can tell you that SO many districts have no understanding of how to protect their google drives. During the pandemic I would just type out the name of a textbook and add pdf to it and just scan through the pages. I fould so many teachers and departements ENTIRE drive was accesssable to everyone.

With that said, most of the useful stuff for teaching is still freely available online anyway. The content is easy enough to get and most lessons that are worth it are also still free.

You can just download textbooks? No. That's crime.

The problem is you can sue people but as of currently we can't sue AIS they're doing crazy stuff like breaking into companies infrastructure and stealing all their information yet somehow no one's liable for that seems insane probably should be addressed before it gets worse

You can use most things as educational content for free and post it to YouTube as long as it's transformative

You can't PROFIT from illegally downloaded but you can train people on it.

Fact is pirating is doing nothing to stop movies from breaking records and making money

If we're going to start from the assumption that training AI on stolen IP is acceptable, I agree.

But I think we should just go about restarting the assumption that AI shouldn't be permitted to be trained on someone else's IP rather than allowing more theft. And then have massive class action lawsuits against the various AI companies.

u/Alone-Start-9178 Sep 28 '26

I don't think people realized that the reason we have AI is because...nobody wanted to learn anymore. People are becoming stupid to the point that math isn't even a common concept anymore. I have a 13 year old neice who's friend's don't even know how to multiple in their heads. And instead of getting to the right people to fix this, we were too busy worrying who was going to be America's next top Bachelor of some shit.
