mangeurdenuage :gnu: :trisquel: :gondola_head: 🌿 :abeshinzo: :ignutius: :descartes: :stargate: (npub1lws…4fd5) What (((Aaron Swartz))) did was:
White line illegal
Was done at MIT via breaking into a machine room he wasn't authorized to be in instead of something at his academic home of Harvard
His bot hammered JSTOR to the point the latter had to shut off MIT's access
"35 years" was the prosecutor's opening gambit, not was he was really facing
Self-admitted mentally ill people shouldn't be doing shit like this
What "AI" companies are doing, if it's plagiarization, is very much up in the air legally (fair use is a thing) as well as morally. It's certainly more akin to what human authors do every day than what Swartz did.
